Unilumin’s LED screen illuminates the core scene of “The Silence of the Insect”

The spring thunder first stirs and sounds to awaken the hibernation. During this Spring Festival, have you been shocked by "The Silence of the Insect" directed by Zhang Yimou?

In this film directed by the Ministry of National Security and my country's first film focusing on contemporary national security themes, in the key scene - the national security "command vehicle", dozens of Unilumin Technology's UMini 0.9 series LED displays and supporting system broadcast control solutions were used as the core visual terminal, showing movie-level display performance and system stability.

UMini 0.9 meets the core needs of a movie camera

Friends who are familiar with director Zhang Yimou know that he has almost strict requirements for picture quality.

In "The Silence of Insects", the command vehicle is the "brain" of the entire movie. The surveillance array composed of dozens of small screens inside the scene must not only carry complex tracking images, but also highlight the solemnity and urgency of the "hidden front".

Director Zhang’s camera lens is pushed directly in front of the screen. LED display screens face more stringent tests than daily application scenarios. Unilumin Technology said that Unilumin UMini 0.9 series displays can meet a variety of needs in film and television-level shooting:

Traditional screens are prone to scan lines or moiré when filmed at close range by movie cameras. Unilumin UMini 0.9 relies on its high refresh rate and advanced packaging technology to ensure pure and stable images, fully meeting the needs of movie-level close-up shooting.

The film involves a lot of high-speed tracking scenes. Unilumin's display screen eliminates the smear phenomenon and ensures that every frame of dynamic images can be clearly presented, perfectly matching the intense rhythm under Director Zhang's lens.

Most of the headquarters scenes have a cold-toned atmosphere. UMini 0.9's high contrast and delicate grayscale processing capabilities make the picture still clear-cut in dark environments, creating a deep "spy war" quality for the film.

In the real shooting scene, the picture synchronization, signal switching, and content scheduling of up to a dozen screens are a complex system project. This time, Unilumin's supporting display and broadcast control solution incorporates Nova Nebula's system support to ensure efficient linkage of all screens and greatly shorten the crew's debugging time on the visual set.

Internationally renowned films such as "Sky King", "The Universe", "The Three-Body Problem" and "Venom: The Last Dance" have all adopted virtual shooting. LED display services are provided by Unilumin Group and its subsidiary Radioo

This overall solution output of "hardware + system" is not only a demonstration of Unilumin's product strength, but also a technical empowerment based on an in-depth understanding of the modern film and television industry processes. In addition, in response to the needs of XR and virtual shooting, Unilumin Group has created a product matrix customized specifically for this field, and has gradually formed a full-link XR solution covering different scales and scenarios.

Currently, from "The Mandalorian", which pioneered virtual production, to the Oscar-winning film "The Universe", the top-notch LED virtual studios built by Unilumin Group and its subsidiary Radioo have been deployed in more than 100 locations around the world, witnessing many international virtual filming of film and television blockbusters, ranking first in the world in terms of market share, and continuing to lead the digital transformation of the film and television industry.

Continue to break through display boundaries to support film and television-level production

"In times of peace, the struggle on the hidden front never stops." "The Silence of Insects" referred to many real cases in its creation to pay tribute to the unknown heroes who built the Great Wall in the dark.

Unilumin Technology stated that as a provider of display technology, Unilumin Technology is deeply honored to participate in the production of the film to pay tribute to this silent guardianship. In the future, Unilumin Technology will continue to break through the boundaries of display technology and strive to present more delicate, realistic and stable images on the big screen and in various application scenarios.
