    Description

    When Fox Nation’s Revolutionary War docuseries called for A-list performances in historic American locations, GO delivered the future. Instead of flying talent across the country, GO recreated the Boston Tea Party and Mount Vernon as immersive SCAPEs using LiDAR, NeRF, and photogrammetry. In this panel, we’ll break down how GO brought Rob Lowe to a virtual Boston Harbor and Kelsey Grammer to a digital Mount Vernon—without ever leaving LA. From sustainability and cost-savings to creative flexibility, this is a case study in digital twin production, Autodesk integration, and the new blueprint for high-end, low-impact filmmaking.

    Key Learnings

    • Learn how GO builds photoreal SCAPEs using LiDAR, NeRF, and photogrammetry.
    • See how Autodesk tools—Maya, 3ds Max, and Autodesk Fusion—bring props and sets to life.
    • Explore how GO saved Fox roughly $3 million by eliminating travel and location setup.
    • Discover how ISS props were scanned and used to preserve on-screen authenticity.
