A sound stage where the location is already built
Rent a bare soundstage anywhere in Los Angeles and the rental is only the beginning: you still build the set, dress it, shoot it and strike it. Our Burbank stage comes with the locations. We pioneered real-time virtual production in 2007, a pipeline that's now patented, so the newsroom, the courtroom or the penthouse your script needs is standing before your trucks arrive, and it changes to the next location in seconds. It's the stage rental and the full film studio in one booking.
- A controlled, camera-ready shooting environment. The quiet, repeatable conditions you rent a sound stage for
- Lighting and grip already on the floor: no separate gear rental to coordinate
- 250+ ready-to-film virtual sets, a newsroom, a courtroom, a penthouse, a spaceship, each loaded in seconds
- Multi-camera Unreal Engine pipeline with patented CastleVision real-time compositing
- Dressing rooms, makeup and production offices on site

Standing on arrival
Sets you would otherwise build on a Los Angeles sound stage
Each one is a photoreal virtual set that appears around your talent live, in camera. Load one in seconds and swap to the next between setups.
How a shoot day works
The stage runs like any professional soundstage in Burbank: call time, blocking, lighting, takes. The difference is what's behind your talent.
Pick your locations
Browse the set library and pick the environments your script needs, 250+ standing virtual sets, from network newsrooms to city streets. No construction schedule, no art-department build-out.
Walk on and shoot
Your talent works in the foreground, with practical pieces they can touch, while the world is composited live, in camera, on every monitor. An optional crew with 25+ years of network TV experience can run the floor, and sets swap in seconds between setups.
Wrap without a strike
The final look leaves the stage in camera. Nothing to tear down, no location moves. The day ends when the last take does.
Who shoots here
Kevin Hart's Hart to Heart shot on the Burbank stage. Aquaman 2 and The Mummy shot here. Clients include Warner Bros., HBO, Netflix, NBC, CBS, Amazon, BET, Paramount and Hearst. Networks and studios that could rent any stage in Los Angeles and book this one because the location work is already done.
One stage in Burbank, one in Albuquerque
The flagship stage is in Burbank, the heart of LA's media district, minutes from Warner Bros. and Disney. When the incentive math matters, our Albuquerque stage runs the same patented pipeline and is a New Mexico Qualified Production Facility, so your shoot qualifies for the state's 30% refundable film tax credit.

Questions
Sound stage rental, answered
- Is this a traditional sound stage rental?
- It works like one, a controlled, camera-ready soundstage in Burbank with lighting, grip, dressing rooms, makeup and production offices, but instead of renting empty walls and building a set inside them, you load any of our 250+ virtual locations in seconds and shoot it in camera the same day.
- How much does it cost to rent a sound stage in Burbank?
- We quote each production against its actual scope rather than a rack rate. And because the locations are already built, you skip the construction, dressing and strike costs that usually sit on top of a stage rental. Tell us your format and dates and we’ll price it.
- Where is the stage located?
- In Burbank, California, the heart of Los Angeles’s media district, minutes from Warner Bros. and Disney. A second stage in Albuquerque, New Mexico runs the same pipeline and is a Qualified Production Facility for the state’s 30% refundable film tax credit.
- Can we bring physical set pieces onto the stage?
- Yes, practical foreground pieces like desks, tables and furniture blend with the virtual environment, so the camera sees real elements your talent can touch inside a world that extends far beyond the stage walls.
- What has been shot on the stage?
- Kevin Hart’s Hart to Heart shot on the Burbank stage, Aquaman 2 shot news and press scenes here, and clients include Warner Bros., HBO, Netflix, NBC, CBS, Amazon, BET, Paramount and Hearst, across talk shows, game shows, news, commercials, film and TV.
- How do you rent a soundstage?
- Tell us the format, shoot dates and how many looks you need. We scope the day (stage, sets, lighting, and the virtual system operator who is included in the rate), quote it against your production, and hold the dates. An optional crew package adds camera and teleprompter operators, or bring your own team.
- How much does it cost to rent a sound stage in Los Angeles?
- Most LA soundstages charge for empty walls, then the set build, lighting package and strike land on top. We quote each production individually, and because the sets are virtual there is no build, storage or teardown line item. Tell us your dates and scope and we will price the day.
- Is the stage near Hollywood?
- We are in Burbank at 154 S. Victory Blvd, directly across from Nickelodeon Studios, about five minutes from Warner Bros., ten from Disney, and roughly fifteen from Hollywood. Same production corridor, without the Hollywood load-in headaches.
