SK Telecom announced on the 21st that it will launch ‘TEAM Studio’, a VFX (Visual Effects)-based media content production center, to strengthen content production capabilities and expand hyper-collaboration with domestic and foreign media.
The team studio built in Pangyo 2nd Techno Valley is 3,050㎡ (about 930 pyeong) in size and features a U-shaped ‘Volume Stage (length 21M x height 5M, with LED floor)’ and ‘XR Stage (length 5M x height 3M, It is equipped with two ‘LED Wall Stages’, including ‘with LED floor’, to create an optimized environment according to the characteristics and scale of the production content.
The studio’s name, ‘TEAM’, is an abbreviation for Tech-driven Entertainment for Asian Movement and carries the meaning of ‘a global content studio that creates Asia and the whole world together as one.’
SKT plans to build a global content ecosystem by utilizing the world’s top wired and wireless network infrastructure to lead hyper-collaboration between team studios and various domestic and foreign studios.
In today’s media industry, the role of VFX-based virtual studios such as Team Studio is becoming important due to the proliferation of various contents that visually surpass reality and the rising expectations of customers who consume them.
In particular, the frequency of use of the virtual production area using LED walls is rapidly increasing in the global media industry, including American Hollywood films, and various domestic and foreign companies are actively investing and establishing studios.
Under this trend, SKT believes that hyper-connectivity, which utilizes ICT infrastructure such as 5G, AI, and cloud to easily share and cooperate with the resources and capabilities of multiple content production studios, will become the core of the future global media market.
For example, two distant studios connect to the cloud and implement the same background on the LED wall, and actors located in each studio also film in real time against the same background, immediately producing the same results as if they had worked in one space. You can get it.
SKT plans to make creating synergy by leading hyper-connectivity with various studios a core value of the team studio and actively pursue strategies based on this. First, we plan to form a consortium with major domestic LED wall studios and share each studio’s infrastructure and resources to present a new content production paradigm without time and space constraints.
In the future, SKT will develop differentiated AI media solution capabilities such as ▲’SUPERNOVA’, which restores the quality of old videos to ultra-high definition, and ▲’AIPP (AI Post Production)’, which cleanly removes subtitles and copyrighted sound sources from videos. They said they plan to lead a new trend in content production by combining Team Studio’s LED wall.
Hyuk Kim, in charge of SKT’s global media support, said, “Team Studio will contribute to the development of the media content industry by incorporating SKT’s core technologies such as wired and wireless, AI, and cloud. Based on this, we will pursue cooperation with domestic and foreign media studios and linkages between industries.” “We will strengthen and lead the global media content production paradigm.”
