A partnership between a Filipino businessman and a team of Korean filmmakers is seeking to future-proof the local film and production industry with the launch of a new production house with next-generation special effects capabilities.
Robosheep Studios, a pioneering film, video, and VFX company in the Philippines, enabled on-set virtual production. Powered by Unreal Engine's real-time 3D creation, complex visual effects typically done in postproduction can now be captured in-camera, allowing for greater creative control and flexibility for directors and producers.
Combining its locally engineered LED stage and virtual camera tracking, Robosheep can turn immersive digital worlds into living sets for film, TV, virtual reality, and the upcoming media platforms of the future.
Wesley Villarica, owner of Parallax Studio and co-owner of Robosheep Studio, is one of the most respected and sought-after photographers in the Philippines, with 18 years of expertise in advertising. His elements of creative imaging — Photography, Production Design, and Visual Communication — led him to a series of notable projects in the Philippines, namely his Canon, Levi's, and Gatorade campaigns. He has also been a long-time Canon Brand Ambassador from 2011 to the present.
Parallax Studio supplies the demand for lifestyle, fashion, food, products and other corporate photography and video production needs. The studio offers high-end camera and lighting equipment and rental spaces. It provides various equipment and services for creatives to achieve infinite visual possibilities.
During the recent opening of Parallax Studio last 7 December 2023, Wesley Villarica, owner of Parallax Studio, announced a co-production between Parallax Studio, Robosheep Studio, GV Labs, and Will Studios for the film entitled "The Guardian."
