MOBO Awards 2020

Satore Studio teamed up with CC-Lab for the return of the MOBO Awards following the three-year hiatus. As this was the first year, the MOBO’s transitioned from a live format to a virtual format, Satore Studio’s experience in developing virtual productions alongside the creative company CC-Lab in producing a realistic-looking ceremony with multiple video playbacks during the virtual ceremony. Collaborating with Brompton Technologies for their Brompton LED processing providing Universal Pixels (UP) to deliver realistic looking, multiple video playbacks throughout the virtual ceremony. 

Tupac Martir wanted to elevate this years’ presentation of the MOBO’s using the work done by Satore Studio in virtual production and elevate it using the year of virtual production experience working along still imagery. Brompton’s OSCA (On Screen Colour Adjustment) and ChromaTune were critical for effective colour management in the vitality as the screen was used as a light source. Martir emphasises that whilst an image can look correct on the camera’s computer screen, and it can look entirely wrong. Thus, the use of high-quality LED processors allows Martir’s vision to get a more familiar look to that perfect on-camera look.

Creative Director Tupac Martir’s vision for the MOBO Awards was created using UP provided high-quality LED screens running on Brompton Tessera SX40 LED processors. Phil Mercer from Universal Pixels says that it was essential to deliver Martir’s creative and technical requirements, as UP played a crucial role in providing the highest-quality visuals during the show’s shooting.
