Virtual Production Stage
Discover the future of film and commercial production
Featured Equipment
LED Volume
Dive into the world of virtual production studios with the highest resolution LED volume in Canada. Built in partnership with ARRI, our LED volume features a 1.9-pixel pitch, Arri lighting grid, Mo-Sys technology, and ample power distribution, providing endless opportunities for creative professionals to turn their vision into reality.
Arri Lighting Grid
With vast experience in building virtual stages across the world, Arri provided a unique lighting solution for our LED volume. Instead of a traditional LED ceiling, our lighting grid features Arri Orbiters and Skypanels controlled by GrandMA3 and connected to Unreal Engine 5. Stay in control of mood and lighting like never before!
About Mo-Sys
StarTracker
Mo-Sys StarTracker determines the position of the camera with utmost precision and instantly synchronizes it with the virtual production. This ensures a smooth shooting process with no delay between movements in the real world and in the virtual one.
Cinematic XR Focus
Cinematic XR Focus provides an ability to pull focus away from real objects and towards virtual objects that appear to be positioned behind the LED virtual production stage. This gives filmmakers freedom to easily capture both, real and virtual stages objects.
VP Pro XR
Holding all the pieces together is the VP Pro XR. It is a preconfigured, multi-node server system that allows filmmakers to work with a virtual production stage using conventional shooting methods. The system integrates with Unreal Engine 5 and enables camera tracking, focus pull, and more.
Floor plan
Our virtual production is 46 feet wide and 16 feet tall and comes with 6,000 square feet of dedicated space. Loading bays are located right by the stage. Explore our floor plan for additional details.
Motion Control
BoltX
Unleash your creativity to the fullest with our MRMC BoltX motion control robot. BoltX can be used both on and off tracks and comes with our certified operators. Its movements can be synchronized with the virtual production world by combining the use of Mo-Sys technology and Flair, MRMC’s premium motion control software.
Bolt Jr+
While more commonly used for shooting on location, Bolt Jr+ can be used to shoot on our volume stage. Just like BoltX, Bolt Jr+ can be used with and without tracks, and its movements are reflected in the virtual world for a smooth and synchronized shooting experience.
Advantages of Virtual Production Stage
Virtual production has become very popular largely because of the ability to analyze in camera visual effects in real-time, rather than waiting for post-production. In today's world, the virtual production stage has been integrated into film and TV show production as an organic part, and it continues to evolve. Virtual production is appreciated for a set of important reasons.
More Natural Lighting
Green screens, already familiar in cinematography, require special lighting conditions. This makes it very difficult to use additional lighting for the scene. Therefore, significant problems arise when shooting dark rooms or night scenes. This is why specialists put extra effort into the post-processing stage. However, with virtual production studios, the ambient light from the screen automatically creates the right lighting to make the scene look natural. As a result, the LED volume wall reduces post-processing time.
Wide Range of Designs
Virtual production using LED volume breaks down previous barriers. Now the director and his team do not need to limit themselves in anything. Thanks to the LED volume stage the video creators have complete freedom in choosing hairstyles, props, or costumes for the actors. As a result, it is less expensive and more quick.
Improving Video Quality
LED virtual production stage is gaining momentum and popularity for a reason. LED video walls for virtual productions improve image quality and accuracy. LED volume virtual production guarantees high resolution and brightness, allowing creators to achieve more stunning in camera visual effects. This makes scenes more detailed and realistic, enhancing the overall viewing experience. As a result, using a LED wall in virtual productions can significantly reduce the pixelization of the final product. With high resolution, high brightness, and natural lighting capabilities, the virtual production stage is quickly becoming the tool of choice for many content producers in the film industry.
Environmentally Friendly
By using a virtual production stage, film producers save resources from travel and accommodation funds. As a result, this option becomes more economical and environmentally friendly. Building and designing physical sets at each site generates waste and requires additional resources. With the volume stage, these costs can be avoided. Almost any location or setting can be created on the LED wall, giving filmmakers and advertisers greater flexibility and creative control.
FAQ's
What is so special about your LED Volume Wall?
Well, everything. It features 1.9-pixel pitch panels by Absen, making it the highest-resolution virtual production in Canada. It also comes with an ARRI lighting grid, with 9 Orbiters and 11 Skypanels controlled by GrandMA3 and connected to Unreal Engine. This provides much more control over lighting than typical LED stages. We would mention more things that make our production special, but you’ll likely get bored reading it all (unless you’re a nerd like us), so come by for a tour instead!
Do you create assets and environments in Unreal Engine?
Absolutely, and they look amazing! We have an existing library of assets and environments, and our team of Unreal Engine developers can create any custom-built environment to bring your vision to life!
What is the rental rate for the Virtual Production?
Can't wait to already try it? Well, that makes sense. Shoot us an email outlining the details of your project, and we'll provide a quote.
How does a typical Virtual Production rental work?
We start with understanding your project needs (production length, environments needed, crew size, etc). We then start preparing for the shoot, from assets and environments in Unreal Engine to stage props and equipment. You also need to provide "liability insurance" (this toy is very expensive, so we recommend just being careful). Before the shoot, we always provide a "previsualization" of the project, and you have a prelight day to prepare for the actual shoot. On the day of the shoot, we let you do the magic, and our crew is there to assist you if needed.
What is included in LED Volume Stage rental?
The rental comes with full access to the ARRI LED lighting grid controlled by GrandMA3, and our Unreal Engine specialist along with our LED volume virtual production supervisor. On top of that, the entire studio is yours to use. From our cozy couches and a kitchen with an empty fridge (don't worry we'll fill it up before you come), to a cyclorama that you can use for the gear set up, or to even shoot another scene. Note that any assets and environments for the LED stages are not included in the standard rental rate.
How high is the ceiling?
The ceiling is 20ft high.
