- Details
Year after year, Mediacorp assumes the role of the central hub for the country's biggest celebration of content and talent in the local entertainment industry. This year's event, the 28th edition of Star Awards, was themed Beyond | Celebrations, and was reimagined as a star-studded concert. It featured a line-up of Singapore's finest talents and regional superstars, joining forces for a night of glamour, excitement, and celebrations.
Oceanus Media Global (OMG) worked with Mediacorp to create the opening segment and after credit scene for the award ceremony using their Futurealistic Studio, with a high-tech LED volume powered by Brompton Technology LED processing.
Founded in 2020, OMG is a creative media tech company that represents a new multidisciplinary intersection point in the industry. It comprises six partner companies: Resolute, AP Media, Anomalyst Studio, AP Academy, Scion Technik, and Grayback Esports, all of which are experts in their respective fields. These companies have joined forces with the primary objective of leading the way in the utilisation of immersive media, virtual production, and creative tech in the media industry of South-East Asia.
The LED setup at OMG’s Futurealistic Studio includes a 4K curved LED screen comprising broadcast standard P2.6 LED panels from ShowHo, measuring 11 metres long by six metres deep and four metres high. The screen is powered by 4K Tessera SX40 LED processors, offering a wealth of features, including HDR and Dynamic Calibration, as well as Extended Bit Depth, PureTone, ChromaTune, Dark Magic, Genlock and others, bringing unrivalled creative and colour management capabilities.
"When we established OMG, we aimed to combine the creative, media, and tech domains in a single space to enable convergence," says Nick GC Tan, CEO of OMG. "Our team comprises multiple experts such as producers, immersive multimedia tech specialists, studio personnel, audiovisual teams, light specialists, and more.
“Many people think that the concept of immersive media is just simply an LED volume, but it’s so much more than that. It also covers live streaming, e-sports, virtual production, immersive media, the metaverse, and virtual avatars. Our Futurealistic Studio is a one-stop shop for all those disciplines, creating unforgettable XR, MR, and AR experiences."
Tan emphasises that Brompton was the obvious choice for them when it came to selecting LED processing equipment for the project. “Brompton was the clear choice for us when we opened the studio last year, and it remains our top choice today,” he says.
