World’s Largest Fully Encapsulated VP Stage Opening in the UK

With a backwall of 84m x 7m, FIN STUDIO PICTURES first large scale VP stage, opening in the Thames Valley, will be the world’s most advanced fully encapsulated virtual production volume.

It’s not just the screen size that’s impressive; the technical credentials and production options are second to none with industry leaders Bendac, Disguise, Epic Games, Unity, Brompton Technology, and Target3D partnering with Fin Studio Pictures to seamlessly integrate the most advanced systems and software.

“Starting from a pure production mindset, we’ve designed the ultimate VP stage with no compromises. When it’s done correctly, VP is an extremely powerful tool, removing uncertainty for filmmakers, creating new options, and allowing them to shoot without restraints.

 

We identified early on that a VP stage needs to be in a full studio setting so productions can fully integrate this element into their other filming activities. The partnerships see us working together exclusively to develop VP stages in new studio sites across the UK and beyond.

 

Every element is best in class, from the LED panels to the backend tech. Our technical partners are working with us to showcase and seamlessly integrate their most advanced systems and software into this flagship project. And our custom designed sound stage is large enough to house the huge fully movable screen, raising to 17m in the air and strong enough to hang 200 tonnes from the gantry.

 

Our VP stage is a permanent installation, with a wealth of walk-in features making it more cost-effective for content creators from the world of film and high-end television as well as commercial shoots, live events and TV broadcasts.

 

VP is already reshaping the industry and is set to become an increasingly powerful tool for producers to build realistic worlds and tell their stories. We have designed this stunning VP studio from the ground up to meet the needs of state-of-the-art filmmaking for years to come whilst making it accessible for everyone.”

“Our cutting-edge VP stages will be a game-changer for the wider production industry, both in terms of the scope of the technology involved as well as the scale.”
