From start to finish, the production pushed an accelerated timeline, building 22 avatars and recording over 65 avatar performances in just a matter of weeks.
Each performer’s body and face were captured in precise detail and translated, in real-time via lulu’s AR compositing tools, to their digital alter ego performing on stage.

Silver Spoon set up a full motion capture volume on set, matching the size of the physical stage on which the AR avatars would appear. Part of the process included developing innovative special effects such as the ability to cry, blush, and sweat in real-time. Working closely with Fox, Silver Spoon crafted the look of the digital stars, translating initial sketches into fully functional and real-time ready 3D avatars, each with a wardrobe of unique costumes, while lulu handled the real-time AR compositing, virtual lighting and triggering character FX and transitions on stage. Stepping into new creative territory, the companies designed a workflow that sets a new benchmark for live virtual production. The partnership between Silver Spoon and lulu brought the show’s vision to life. Hosted by Rocsi Diaz, Alter Ego currently airs on FOX. With a combination of advanced performance capture technology and AR tools, the performers drive the movement of their digital avatars on stage, in real-time. The new singing competition features performers appearing as digital avatars, rather than in-person. The studios worked closely, developing a unique pipeline to create the broadcast AR experience. Real-time animation and virtual production studio Silver Spoon teamed up with visual production specialists lulu to create FOX’s first-ever augmented reality (AR) virtual singing competition, Alter Ego, starring an entire cast of virtual avatars.
