Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing mobile image recording solutions struggle with location-dependent production, being influenced by weather and lighting conditions, and require significant logistical efforts to set up and transport equipment, limiting flexibility and increasing production costs.
Innovation Solution
A mobile image recording studio housed in a shipping container with an extension and retraction mechanism that transforms into a larger studio space, utilizing a monitor as a virtual backdrop to create controlled lighting and weather-independent conditions, allowing for flexible and efficient production by simulating backgrounds and reducing the need for on-site equipment setup.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If a mobile studio is mounted on a vehicle with a fixed structure, then it provides stable working conditions, but it requires significant transport volume and is difficult to relocate
Solution Approach 1:
The studio structure is divided into a base body and separable wall sections that can be assembled and disassembled. The walls are constructed as modular panels that can be attached to the base body to form enclosed studio spaces, allowing the studio to be broken down into transportable segments without requiring a fixed vehicle mounting
Solution Approach 2:
The studio employs movable and adjustable wall sections that can be extended or retracted based on operational needs. The wall panels are designed to be dynamically assembled during setup and disassembled for transport, transforming the studio from a static fixed-structure concept to a dynamic reconfigurable system that adapts between deployed and transport states
2Ease of manufacture
If the studio walls are made rigid and fixed, then they provide structural stability, but they increase the difficulty of assembly and disassembly
Solution Approach 1:
The walls are constructed as modular panels with standardized connection interfaces. Each wall section is a self-contained unit that can be independently assembled to the base body using simple joining mechanisms, eliminating the need for complex fixed-structure assembly while maintaining structural integrity through the modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The wall sections utilize panel structures that provide sufficient rigidity for structural stability while being thin and lightweight enough for easy handling and assembly. The panels are designed with inherent stiffness to maintain structural integrity when assembled, yet remain flexible enough to be manually positioned and connected without heavy machinery
3Productivity
If the studio is designed as a fixed structure, then it provides controlled working conditions, but it requires significant logistical efforts to transport and set up
Solution Approach 1:
The studio is divided into a base body and separate wall sections that can be independently transported and quickly assembled. This segmentation allows the components to be moved separately to the production location and assembled in a systematic manner, dramatically reducing setup time compared to transporting and assembling a complete fixed structure
Solution Approach 2:
The wall sections are pre-fabricated with connection interfaces and structural features that enable rapid assembly. The modular panels are manufactured in advance with standardized joining mechanisms already integrated, allowing the studio to be assembled at the production location without requiring on-site fabrication or complex alignment procedures

AI summary
The invention describes a mobile image recording studio for the location-independent production of images under studio conditions, as well as a method for image recording in a mobile image recording studio. The mobile image recording studio has a base body (1) in which, in transport mode, an extension and retraction mechanism (2) for a roof (4) and door leaves (3a, 3b) is arranged, wherein, in operating mode, the roof (4) is unfolded and the door leaves (3a, 3b) are unfolded and, together with the interior of the base body (1), side walls (9a, 9b) and a rear wall (13), form a studio space (7).The inventive method for producing images independently of location under studio conditions in the mobile image recording studio is based on the fact that the camera is exclusively aimed at the monitor wall and is bound to the background monitor by a fixed angle, whereby if the perspective of the camera is to change, the position and direction of the camera are not changed as usual, but the background on the monitor and the positions of the objects that are in front of the camera and are to be recorded are rearranged accordingly.
