DURLAND PRODUCTIONS Creative services

What we have to offer, and why we are different

SCRIPTING, STORYBOARDING, CHARACTER DESIGN, DIRECTION, SCENE DESIGN, ANIMATION AND AUDIO

From the inception of an idea to its full realization, Durland Productions is your comprehensive partner. With multiple seats of the Adobe suite, Max, Mocha, Synth Eyes, Unreal Engine, Lightwave, and a half dozen new AI programs we have all the tools you need. Whether it’s a script, storyboard, animatic, animation, or a whole show, we’ve got you covered. And if you’re building a series, we’ll ensure a cohesive look from the open-to-end slate and everything in between.

SCIENTIFIC, MILITARY, MEDICAL INDUSTRIAL DESIGN, VISUALIZATION AND SIMULATIONS

Visualization and simulations are our specialties, and we've got the track record to prove it. Durland Productions has been instrumental in launching numerous Hi-tech and Hi-concept projects. We understand that visualization is crucial in giving new ideas traction, whether for investors or internal use. Our work on many D.O.D. concept projects is a testament to our ability to keep confidential information confidential and bring engineering backgrounds to polish a pre-vis piece for a product or system that's still in the conceptual stage. 

GREEN SCREEN, ROTOSCOPING, VIDEO WALL CONTENT FOR LIVE BACKGROUNDS AND MORE.

With over 25 years of experience in blue and green screen shoots we have delivered clean keys for hundreds of clients. The technology has come a long way but some expertise is still needed to make a green screen shoot a success. We have a mobile 30ft X 30ft green screen, lights, and support gear for modest on location shoots. At our studio we use a motion tracking system for character animation. Synth Eyes, Mocha, AE and some new AI tools are used to match cameras and finish off the piece. Video walls are a new and very clean way to shoot a virtual background. We build content for these setups in Unreal engine, and supply the fast machines needed for live playback on location.

PROJECTION MAPPING, WIDE-SCREEN CONTENT, AND VIRTUAL STAGE DESIGN

Distortion Mapping can be complex to do correctly. Durland Productions is credited for producing some of the largest video walls and complex mapping content ever used. Mapping a building produces a big wow effect, but the content must match the contour of the building and use the structure to help tell the story. Otherwise, the building just becomes a big screen. For the hardware and technical expertise, we use the big guys. We are lucky to have a good relationship with these pioneers, and have been able to bring them to the table in many of our productions.
