Why is it so dark and dreary and what's the point of separating the vtuber and the staffs with glass
You know what it actually looks like
For the record, I think having the staffs and all the equipment in the same room is absolutely fine, and might even be better than the usual Hololive/Niji approach,
It makes the set looks more like a holywood/TV set. The glass separating them is really fucking tacky though.
Btw looking at the set and after reading the article, seems like they cheaped out on the motion tracking camera. They used something calls
Optitrack Prime 17W, which goes for $3,999/camera at retail price. Hololive/Nijisanji uses something called
Vicon Valkyrie VK26, which goes for
$60,000 retail. Tbf, Hololive & Nijisanji are fucking insane with how much they splerged on cameras. Hololive reportedly bought 200 of them, which would easily be $10 million even with a 16% bulk buying discount. Nijisanji didn't report their number, but imma eyeball it as 50 from their picture.
Brave Group managed to raise
$47.9 millions in 5 rounds of funding. Hololive literally spent 1/5 of Brave's money on camera and camera alone.
In the article Brave said they have Vicon too and will "alternate between Vicon & Optitrack dependings on needs", but I didn't see a single Vicon in the picture. The two camera have very different and distinctive shapes.
Hololive & Nijisanji studio for comparison
Old nijisanji studio seems to be of similar size to Brave's and also uses Optitrack. No idea where to find Hololive's old studio
