Matterport for Film Production:
Matterport surveying technology offers a smart, efficient solution for film production teams. It streamlines the creative process while improving accuracy, consistency, and cost-efficiency throughout both production and post-production.
With immersive 3D virtual walkthroughs, filmmakers can easily scout locations, plan sets, and visualise scenes without needing to be on-site. It’s a powerful tool not just for pre-production logistics, but also for set design, continuity planning, and even marketing.
Whether you're coordinating a shoot, designing a set, or pitching a location—Matterport helps bring your vision to life, faster and with greater precision.
Location finding: Using Matterport, filmmakers may virtually scout potential shooting locations. This can reduce alternatives without the need for actual site visits, saving time and money.
Documentations: Detailed documentation of locations, sets, and props is provided by Matterport scans, which can be very useful for future research, retakes or insurance reasons.
Post production: Matterport scans can be utilised for precise match-moving, compositing and scene reconstruction during post-production, assisting in the blending of computer-generated elements and real-world film.
Set designing: Planned set designs and camera positions can be determined using Matterport scans by filming teams. This ensures that the sets are accurately constructed to match the selected places. Furthermore, the measuring tools can be used to give size aspects of sets.
Tagging in Matterport lets film crews mark up a space with notes visible in the 3D tour—ideal for planning lighting, camera setups, set design, and more. It helps departments coordinate remotely, keeps track of continuity details, and makes location scouting and prep faster and more accurate.
The built-in measuring tool lets you check dimensions directly within the 3D model—perfect for planning set builds, checking ceiling heights, doorway sizes, or confirming whether gear will fit in a space. No need to revisit the location—just measure remotely, anytime.
