The Virtual Production of The Mandalorian, Season One
A behind the scenes look at the groundbreaking virtual production technology used on The Mandalorian, Season One.
Over 50 percent of The Mandalorian Season 1 was filmed using this ground-breaking new methodology, eliminating the need for location shoots entirely. Instead, actors in The Mandalorian performed in an immersive and massive 20' high by 270-degree semicircular LED video wall and ceiling with a 75'-diameter performance space, where the practical set pieces were combined with digital extensions on the screens. Digital 3D environments created by ILM played back interactively on the LED walls, edited in real-time during the shoot, which allowed for pixel-accurate tracking and perspective-correct 3D imagery rendered at high resolution via systems powered by NVIDIA GPUs. The environments were lit and rendered from the perspective of the camera to provide parallax in real-time, as if the camera were really capturing the physical environment with accurate interactive light on the actors and practical sets, giving showrunner Jon Favreau, executive producer and director Dave Filoni, visual effects supervisor Richard Bluff, and cinematographers...

History:
This series of two seat trainer and four seat light aircraft was initially developed to replace the successful Zlin Trener series. The initial Z-42 was developed during the mid-1960s with two seats, side by side. It flew for the first time on the 17th of October, 1967.
The improved Zlin Z-42M introduced a constant speed propeller, a larger tail developed for the Zlin Z-43 four-seater and replaced the Z-42 in production in 1974. Development of the two seat line continued with the further improved Z-142, which flew for the first time on the 29th of December, 1979. Changes introduced included a larger cockpit canopy and faired undercarriage. The Z-142 remained in production in Z-142C form until the mid-'90s. The latest two seater of this family, the Z-242 L has a 150kW (200hp) Textron Lycoming AEIO-360 flat-four powered engine.
Changes aside from the engine include a three-blade constant speed prop and revised engine cowling profile. First flight was on the 14th February 1990. Development of the four-seat models, the Z-43 and Z-143,...

Okay Lieutenant,
Your scout platoon, HORSESHOE, is understrength -- your third section is still attached to the brigade chemical S&M (surveillance and monitoring) team. That leaves you with just four M3 Bradley crews.
We've got a tank regiment organised as a forward detachment barreling down the highway at us. It's equipped with T-80s and BMP-2s. The S-2 (battalion intelligence staff officer) expects that it will attack from the march but that its RAG, regimental artillery group, will be deployed in firing positions by the time that their main body hits our FLOT (forward line of troops).
The main body will be preceeded by patrols from the regimental recon company. These patrols will consist of BRDMs and BRMs (BRMs are depicted in the scenario as BMP-1s without ATGMs). We expect at least three such patrol teams. Along the general axis of advance, the regimental recon patrols will be followed by at least one CRP, or combat reconnaissance patrol consisting of a reinforced tank platoon. The CRP may or may not patrol along the intended...
