Developed and produced by Spirit Studios, the episode was filmed within a dedicated xR studio, in a ground-breaking new departure for terrestrial television. 

​

The satirical new pilot, starring comedians Dane Baptiste, Toussaint Douglass, Munya Chawawa, Lola Jagun and Thanyia Moore, explores the nature of fame amongst the BAME community

​

Looking for alternatives to green-screen technology for content production, Executive Producer Matt Campion engaged Director of Photography Chris Hollier in the early stages of development. Hollier has worked extensively with WL on pioneering new projects most recently their Eurosport 2020 coverage of the US and French Open tournaments.

 

Hollier comments: “Having collaborated with WL since their first foray into xR production nearly four years ago, we have seen our ongoing R&D elevate sports  broadcast to a game-changing new level. When I received the Bamous brief from Spirts Director & Executive Producer Matt Campion, I knew that WL’s unrivalled experience in broadcast xR, combined with the innovation behind SmartStage, would be pivotal to bringing his vision for this pilot to life.”
