Virtual production means the location is a photoreal virtual set that appears around your talent live, in camera, so the finished shot is on the monitor while you film. We pioneered the real-time method in 2007, now patented; today the same multi-camera stage handles everything from one scene to a full feature, with 250+ ready-to-load sets, the operator who runs them included, and an optional crew package on top.
- Patented CastleVision pipeline
- Multi-camera Unreal Engine
- 250+ ready-to-load sets
- Gear included · optional crew

Full service
Virtual production services in Los Angeles
Our virtual production services in Los Angeles cover the whole production, not just the room. One booking gets you the Burbank stage, the patented CastleVision in-camera compositing pipeline, 250+ ready-to-load virtual sets and the dedicated virtual system operator who drives it, plus, as an option, a floor crew with 25+ years of network TV experience.
That bundle is what makes the schedule move: locations change the same day, in seconds, so a morning in a courtroom becomes an afternoon in a newsroom with no build, no strike and no company move. We support the shoot from set selection and previs through the last take, and if the script calls for an environment the library doesn't have, we build custom virtual sets to spec.
The stage
The virtual production stage
Our virtual production stage in Los Angeles is a green screen cyclorama in Burbank driven by a multi-camera Unreal Engine pipeline. Talent performs on the physical stage while the engine renders the environment in real time and CastleVision composites the two live: the shot in the program monitor is the finished shot, and the pixels recorded on set are final pixels, not placeholders for post.
This is virtual production beyond LED walls: the environment lives in the engine, so sets swap in seconds and the pipeline cuts between cameras the way a broadcast control room does. The same stage has carried single-scene inserts, talk shows, features and episodic series. Our sister stage in Albuquerque, New Mexico runs the identical pipeline as a Qualified Production Facility.
How it works
Three steps from script to screen
Step 1
Pick your locations
Browse the set library and choose from 250+ ready-to-film environments. Sets load in seconds, so one shoot day can hold a Manhattan penthouse, a network newsroom and a space station.
Step 2
Shoot it in camera
The multi-camera Unreal Engine pipeline renders the world in real time behind your talent. The director sees the actual shot in the monitor and makes decisions on set, not six months later in post.
Step 3
Wrap without the strike
No teardown, no company moves, no permit chase. The footage that leaves the stage is the finished look. Whether you came for a single scene or a full feature.
Wondering what a day here costs? Every job is quoted to the production, not a rack rate, see what drives the cost.
Los Angeles logistics
Built for LA producer logistics
A virtual production studio only saves you money if getting to it is easy. Ours sits in Burbank, the Media Capital of the World, inside the crew base, the vendor base and the network ecosystem your production already lives in.

Chasing a tax credit instead?

Questions
Virtual production in Los Angeles, answered
- Do you offer virtual production services in Los Angeles?
- Yes, full-service virtual production in Burbank: the stage, the patented CastleVision in-camera compositing pipeline and 250+ ready-to-load virtual sets in one rental, plus the virtual system operator who drives it: with additional crew available as an optional package. Sets change in seconds, so a single shoot day can cover multiple locations without a company move.
- Are you a virtual production company in Los Angeles?
- We're the virtual production studio and stage partner LA productions book. The stage and the technology you produce on. We pioneered real-time virtual production in 2007 and now hold two U.S. patents on the method (CastleVision). You keep your production, your client and your credit; we provide the multi-camera Unreal Engine stage, hundreds of ready-to-load sets and the virtual system operator who runs it: with additional crew as an option.
- How do I choose a virtual production company?
- Ask four questions. How long have they actually done this (we pioneered real-time virtual production in 2007, and the method is protected by two U.S. patents)? How many environments can they load, and how fast? Is the crew included, or is the studio bare (our virtual system operator is included in every booking)? And do they support your client relationship, or compete with it? The answers separate a true production partner from a rental room.
- Where in Los Angeles is the stage?
- In Burbank, at 154 S. Victory Blvd, the heart of LA's media district, across the street from Nickelodeon, about 5 minutes from Warner Bros., 10 from Disney and 15 from the Burbank (BUR) airport. Crew, talent and clients get to the stage without a company move.
- What can you shoot on the Los Angeles stage?
- Film and TV, talk shows, game shows, news, commercials, press junkets, host wraps, music videos and vertical drama, single- or multi-camera, with stadium-style audience seating available. Kevin Hart's Hart to Heart shot on this stage.
- What do virtual production services in Los Angeles cost here?
- Every job is quoted against your actual shoot, format, days, sets and crew, not a rack rate. Because the stage, the sets, the gear and the virtual system operator come bundled in one rental, with additional crew available as an add-on, your budget goes to the screen instead of construction, permits and company moves.
- Do you have a stage outside Los Angeles?
- Yes, a companion stage in Albuquerque, New Mexico, running the same pipeline with exclusively virtual production and in-camera live compositing. It's a Qualified Production Facility, so shooting there unlocks New Mexico's 30% refundable film tax credit, and a production can split between the two stages without losing continuity.
