Austrian Indie Film Studio Pioneers Budget-Friendly Virtual Production with Anti-Glare Screen Technology
Vienna, Austria – An Austrian independent film studio has successfully completed principal photography on its upcoming sci-fi feature Stargazer: The Next Tribunal using a low-cost virtual production setup that could signal a shift in how smaller studios approach immersive filmmaking.
Faced with the rising costs of LED volumes and the complexity of greenscreen workflows, the production team turned to a more accessible solution: a 100-inch consumer-grade TV paired with a bespoke anti-glare screen coating supplied by The Outdoor Screen Company Ltd, based in London.
“We tried everything — greenscreen, back projection, even DIY setups,” said the film’s director. “But reflections from the screen kept ruining our shots. We were at a breaking point until the Outdoor Screen Company stepped in.”
The company provided a custom anti-reflective film designed specifically for large-format displays used in virtual production. The solution eliminated disruptive reflections while preserving image clarity, allowing the team to shoot in-camera with minimal post-production cleanup — a critical advantage for budget-conscious productions.
“Our goal is to make virtual production accessible to creators at every level,” said Kim Menen, Technical Director at The Outdoor Screen Company. “You don’t need a multimillion-pound setup to achieve cinematic results. This project proves that with the right tools, indie filmmakers can compete visually with much larger productions.”
The Stargazer team reported that the setup required careful calibration, but with clear instructions and remote support, they were able to integrate the system quickly. The result was a streamlined shoot with reduced post-production time and no compromise on visual ambition.
Stargazer: The Next Tribunal is scheduled for release in the second half of 2026 and is already being cited as a case study in agile, resourceful filmmaking. The production’s success highlights a growing trend: independent studios leveraging smart, scalable technologies to unlock new creative possibilities.
