A Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive case study
An original immersive 180° film shot on the Blackmagic URSA Cine Immersive — featured in Blackmagic Design’s official press release.
Synopsis
The ghost of Henry VIII breaks the fourth wall — and speaks directly to you. When a lost Tudor pendant is discovered in Warwickshire, the King himself becomes your guide, drawing you into a dramatized story of the treasure’s history: the court that surrounded it, the hands it passed through, and why it stayed hidden for five centuries.
Production story
Shot on location at Harvington Hall, with costumes from the Royal Shakespeare Company and a classically trained cast whose credits include Outlander and Bridgerton. Even the Tudor feast on the table was prepared by a food historian — nothing in frame is a prop standing in for the real thing.
Every scene is lit by real candlelight and a real fireplace — no day-for-night, no movie lights pretending to be flame. Moonlight was keyed through a window, and the URSA Cine Immersive held it all at ISO 800–1000, with false color monitoring keeping exposure honest in HDR.
The finish happened in DaVinci Resolve Studio, with Fusion VFX quietly erasing the modern world — fire-alarm removal and rig cleanup — so nothing breaks the year 1546.
Technical credits
“Everything you see in 3D, 180 degrees is real because the human eye and brain can tell when something isn’t, especially in 8K per eye HDR.”
