StageCraft technology, known as 'The Volume,' allows filmmakers to use massive LED backdrops for real-time background changes, enhancing the digital backlot technique. This innovation has become prevalent in Hollywood, particularly in FX-driven franchises. Kerry Conran's Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, released in 2004, was an early pioneer of this technique. The film's unique visual style was developed through a collaboration between Conran and cinematographer Eric Adkins, who drew inspiration from various artistic influences, including film noir and comic books.
