Shooting on led volume wall

[Apcki]

Just curious how you guys are dealing with the crazy reflections coming off a led wall. Is it just handled in post?

Last time I shot on a volume stage, that was the least of my problems… it was all drowned out by the crazy loud fan system that had to be kept on to prevent the wall from overheating(!)

Now there's a phrase you don't hear every day.  My movie brain is imagining spontaneous combustion into magic green flames if the fans don't stay on.

Yes it is.  By ADR.

Was shooting 1899 for Netflix some years ago. Approx 60-70 days in front of a giant LED „Volume“. Wanted to install thick see-through curtains off frame to reduce bouncing echos. The LED-Sup canceled that idea the first day of shooting as it would have messed with the camera tracking (despite the GO in pre-prod). 
in the end all the props, set-buildings, actors, extras and team were enough to break up the bouncing reflections and as said the fans from the walls and from the „brain“ computers became the main issue.

There used to be a time that water cooling was an actual existing thing.
Is that lost technology?
