A Proven Creative Solution

MediaCity Studios next-generation virtual studio capability is a powerful creative tool for delivering even greater onscreen value – enabling the creation of even more content-rich sets. Our proven technology seamlessly combines physical, virtual and augmented reality in real time, together with live data. This enables our in-house designers to translate your vision into spectacular photorealistic environments for your production. You can import sets from any 3D modelling package and enhance them with easily sourced and adapted pre-made assets.

The results are utterly realistic, including the addition of shadows and reflections as well as the perfect integration of even single strands of hair. Cameras can be pointed in absolutely any direction across the whole of the studio to deliver a continuous on-screen set. Using the latest real-time rendering, you can see how each shot will look as it happens either live in the studio or via secure remote viewing. With this capability offered across all ten of our studios, you have the flexibility to choose the perfect-sized space for your production, from 1,000 to 12,500 sq. ft.
