Despite Being YouTube’s Content King, MrBeast Wants to Capture the Fortress of Hollywood Using Unreal Engine Technology

Hollywood is always trying something new with their films, and so is MrBeast with his videos. As technology improves so does the style of film-making across the globe. As the VFX departments grow, so does the strength of a film to show more and more complex and large-scale ideas in cinemas. Therefore it is not surprising that MrBeast might be the first of most creators to bring the tech that Hollywood uses to YouTube.

In a reactions video from 2021, he said that he will surely use the virtual screen technology used in a Disney+ series for his videos too.

MrBeast wants to use virtual screens for his videos

In his video ‘Squid Game Without CGI!’, MrBeast and his long-time friend Chris were reacting to a compilation of films before they render the CGI part of the film. Although most graphically enhanced films are VFX heavy, some technologies used in films feel like they can recreate a real world in a closed room.

Similarly, Visual Screens are used across the globe by filmmakers to shoot outdoor scenes and can make them look as real as they could be. So while reacting to a scene from the popular Disney+ show ‘The Mandalorian’, MrBeast said, “We’re getting one of these screens 100%. I want one.”

Replying to this, Chris said, “We could spend 24 hours in the desert” adding to this MrBeast said, “and not have to leave our studio.” They also watched the production of the series, further to which MrBeast said, “I really really want one, I want it so badly… those things are cool I’m buying one, one day.”

New technologies help advance film productions

In film production, a new kind of technology has emerged in recent years called StageCraft. The makers use this technology which is based on the Unreal Engine software to create a virtual setup for a curved LED screen that is set up inside a closed room. Then the actors proceed to act in front of that screen while the camera uses a special kind of lens to capture the scene, making it look like it’s shot in a real place.

Apart from ‘The Mandalorian’, films like ‘The Midnight Sky’ (2020), ‘The Batman’ (2022), ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’ (2022), and ‘Black Adam’ (2022) have reportedly used this technology to make their sets look ultra-realistic.
