As the dancers perform their choreography on a separate, custom-built performance capture stage, video representations of the monsters appear on the live stage flanked by in-person backup dancers. All of this is possible thanks to a cutting-edge, virtual production setup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than being on stage for the performance, the dancers are backstage. Ashley said that &#8220;there are humans there but they are hooked up to CGI&#8221; during an interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BBCTheOneShow\/status\/1603831011506520064\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">BBC&#8217;s The One Show<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The audience, however, get to see the holograms play out on the screen. Each performance would only be shown on the large screen and not actually on the stage, but it is thought the audience and judges are able to watch it live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Netflix has been contacted by GRV Media and Reality Titbit for comment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I was there for the tapings of 2 of the episodes, the comparison with the character designs are a huge difference, we saw the characters on the stage LED Wall dance and they were low poly, low resolution versions, we were clapping at an empty stage obviously<\/p>&mdash; Joshua Riley (@JoshuaRiley01) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JoshuaRiley01\/status\/1603719436489433092?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 16, 2022<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>OMG: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/realitytvshrine.com\/netflix-reality-shows\/what-technology-does-netflixs-dance-monsters-use\">What technology does Netflix&#8217;s Dance Monsters use?<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-audiences-can-see-real-time-dances-fans-think\">Audiences can see real-time dances, fans think<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In some scenes on Dance Monsters, viewers can see some of the screens that the audience and judges watched the performances on. One Reddit user shared their thoughts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The audience and the judges are seeing the dancers hooked up in that costume and the cameras (which we\u2019re seeing) is seeing the AI. When the performer starts they show a quick side by side of them in a sound stage in the costume hooked up and make it seem like the dance was pre recorded.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Another theory from a fan is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The backup dancers are real, so with a full crowd and the judges there, the backup dancers perform and people pretend react to the main dancer. I have noticed that the crowd seems less than hyped (even when reality show crowds are told to cheer. I&#8217;ve been in things like this before and they have hype men to pump you up). THEN the show finishes all the graphics and inserts the characters in the performance plate. On a later date they show it to the judges on a screen in front of them with a minimal audience behind them, and mash the whole thing together.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I wanna know what the judges and audiences of Dance Monsters actually see on stage.
