If it isn't in the library, we'll build it.

Our in-house set builders and artists create any location you can describe. And CastleVision, our patented capture method, records any real location in the world, with its real light and movement, and replays it on our stage. Any scene imaginable, shot in Burbank or Albuquerque.
