Digital backlot


A digital backlot is a motion picture set that is neither a genuine location nor a constructed studio; the shooting takes place entirely on a stage with a blank background that will later on project an artificial environment put in during post-production. Digital backlot is more often used in certain genre of films, like sci-fi and comics, in order to achieve what would otherwise be too expensive or outright impossible to build as a real set.
