collider.com: Reed's initial interest in The Mandalorian was in part because of the state-of-the-art technology used in the production. "I had gone down to visit [Jon] Favreau on the set of Season 1 Mandalorian because everyone was talking about the Volume technology," he said. The Volume is Industrial Light and Magic's inventive 360-degree sound stage that first came into play with Season 1 of the series

These movies and shows were a big part of my high school watching habits, so learning about the technology behind it is very interesting. I think it would be fun to rewatch The Mandalorian with an eye out and thinking more critically of how they achieved the shots and visual effects. I've yet to see the newest Ant-Man movie, but I will be going to see it soon and I'm excited to see how successful they were with rendering this expansive realm. Something I've been doing with media recently, is most of my brain enjoying the media for what it is while a small part of it is constantly thinking about how they achieve the effects that they do. As I keep reading articles like these and mindfully watching films and TV shows that employ these effects, I hope to glean more and just become more knowledgeable about how movies and TV shows are accomplished.
I had heard of the Volume Technology in passing and it seems so cool (and incredibly advanced) - so it was interesting to hear about it from the perspective of a director. There is so much to unpack with my questions and curiosities about how this technology works and how much work I imagine goes into it in pre production and post production. I remember first seeing it in the Mandalorian and Thor: Love and Thunder and being so curious about how these extremely detailed environments were generated by a technology like the Volume. It’s interesting to read about how it’s used as a tool in the film toolkit - obviously one tool will never fit all uses, and it’s interesting to read how it was combined with partial sets and other aspects for Quantumania versus its use in the Mandalorian. While I haven’t watched Quantumania yet, I’m excited to eventually watch the movie and see how this technology plays into the scenes.
