Back in the day, we used rear projection to make it look like you were sitting in a driving car. Then we figured out green screens to place our actors wherever we wanted. Now we have virtual sets. If you've watched The Mandalorian, you probably know that nearly the whole darn show is shot on a LED virtual set called "The Volume". What you may not know is that virtual sets and the brilliant "Unreal Engine" software that makes them possible is being used right here right now in Oklahoma. Today we talk to our old pal, Ryan Bellgardt, who is no stranger to the show. It's been a while since we've checked in with him to see what he's been up to. Turns out, he's been up to A LOT!
