For Fast & Furious: Supercharged, MPC needed to produce footage for projection on an enormous U-shaped screen. This raised three main challenges: anticipating the projection warping, recomposing the perspective, and ensuring a consistent stereoscopic effect. The MPC team developed a custom camera model and an "audience experience" validation process.
