On this stage
Multi-camera Unreal Engine virtual production. 250+ ready-to-shoot sets. Optional expert crew.
Burbank is where we pioneered CastleVision, our patented method for filming a real place and bringing it onto the stage alongside our Unreal Engine virtual sets, live and in camera. It remains the flagship for virtual production in Los Angeles, and nearly any scene can happen on this one floor: a courtroom set in the morning, a police station film set after lunch, the Oval Office set or a subway train set by evening. Twenty-five-plus years of network TV experience is on hand for any shoot day.

Fully turnkey
Everything's here. And the crew to run it, if you want them.
Bring your production; we bring the rest. Our virtual system operator is included in the rate, so the Unreal Engine pipeline is staffed and running the moment you arrive: and an optional crew package adds camera and teleprompter operators on top.
Virtual production systems
Three Unreal Engine virtual studio systems, three Ultimatte 12 keyers, and Mo-Sys Star Tracker camera tracking for live, in-camera compositing.
Cinema cameras & lenses
Three Panasonic Varicam 35 4K cinema cameras. The camera behind Ozark and Better Call Saul. With Fujinon Cabrio 20–120mm and 14–35mm cinema zooms.
Camera movement
A 13-ft CamMate "Encodacam" jib, the encoded crane famously used on Avatar, plus encoded Vinten heads and dollies for perfectly tracked moves.
The stage
Pre-lit green screen cyclorama with a 20-ft ceiling (15 ft to grid), silent HVAC, isolated power, and stadium-style audience seating. Sound stage rental →
Lighting, grip & audio
Fiilex RGBW matrix and Astera tube lighting, a two-ton grip package, Sennheiser lavs and booms, and a Yamaha mixing console.
Recording, prompters & spaces
Multi-camera ISO + composite recording, beam-splitter and presidential teleprompters, editing suites, five green rooms, dining, lounges, and a giant LED "video village." The wall is for watching, not a background: the set is composited live on green. See how that compares in our LED volume alternative.
