Digital set design is a new entertainment field involving the replacement, total or partial, of the built sets with digital equivalents. Today’s film production design is facing the challenge of having to create both a real and a digital version of a movie set, both of them perfectly interchangeable, allowing dynamic camera moves and highly complex visual effects. The following images were created completely on the computer, and later integrated in the shot with real elements filmed in the studio. The possibility to combine the real space with the virtual one made way to unexpected innovations in spatial representation and analysis, thus allowing a complete flexibility of the camera and stunning visual effects.

Having only parts of a set built and the rest completed digitally is likely to become the norm. It is relatively easy to simulate a three-dimensional space for a perspective study, but the time consuming part is to bring that virtual space to the level of realism needed for a seamless integration with the film production design and visual effects parameters of a sequence. These parameters are strictly determined by the camera, the color space, existing light, correct texture calibration and correct digital to film transfer. The integration of more and more complex spatial constructs within digital sets used in feature films is going to push the originality of these visual effects to a new level.
