The Stage: Custom-Built for Virtual Production, VFX and Conventional Shoots
Our 60×12 ft cyc wall is paired with both matte and reflective flooring options in both green and blue, swappable in minutes to keep your production moving. Our pre-rigged, DMX-controlled LED-RGB lighting cloud allows projects to quickly dial in perfect matching looks, after that units are then rolled in for key lighting and atmospheric ground effects. This is a space built for directors and DPs who don’t want to compromise. We also support conventional shoots and have hosted projects from Disney, Netflix, Fox and many others.
Motion Control and Live Camera Tracking
We employ a high-resolution, low-latency tracking system that supports everything from dolly rigs to handheld setups. Real-time camera position, zoom and focus data lets you intuitively interact directly with 3D environments, capturing dynamic shots with perfect matching looks . Whether you’re moving fast with a Steadicam or booming in with a jib, your virtual space always keeps pace.
You can shoot handheld or with a dolly or jib. But our Motion Control Robot Arm opens up many more magical possibilities.
Lighting: DMX-Controlled Lighting Cloud
Our fully DMX-enabled LED lighting grid adapts instantly to your virtual environments. Match light angles, color temperatures, and ambiance to what’s in the scene—before or during the shoot. Integrated pre-configured lighting saves time while giving you complete creative flexibility.
Deliverables: Multi-Layered Capture for Maximum Flexibility
We deliver every project’s shot in four key elements:
1) 4K Master Camera Footage (Arri Alexa)
2) Tracked and Matched CG Background Footage
3) Virtual Camera Tracking Files for Digital Reshoots or CGI/VFX post effects.
4) Fully keyed and comped proxy footage of the day’s shoot with matching timecode to the masters. These clips are ready for instant editorial on-set or just after the shoot.
Having these elements fully protects a project in case any changes are later required to the background scene. even allowing for a completely new scene to be added.
