Garden Studios partners with Anna Valley on second virtual production stage

The new 7750 ssq ft stage features a 26 x 4.5m ROE BPV2 semicircular volume at Garden Studio’s Park Royal studio complex

London’s Garden Studios is doubling its virtual production capacity with a second stage.

The facility opened one of the first permanent volumes in London in 2020 and has delivered over 80 productions on the 12m x 4m stage that can be extended to 18m x 4m.

The new 7750 ssq ft stage, built for Garden Studios by Anna Valley, features a 26 x 4.5m ROE BPV2 semicircular volume at Garden Studio’s Park Royal studio complex. 

It includes an 8m x 5m OD4 ED ceiling, mounted on a motorised hoist, which can be lowered, raised and tilted up to a 45-degree angle; as well as a pair of 2m x 2m OD4 LED totems provide additional lighting sources.

In addition to the LED volume, the studio features Mo-Sys StarTracker and nDisplay servers and disguise vx 4 for playback solutions.

The Anna Valley volume at Garden Studios was built at the beginning of March and the first shoot using the stage has already been completed.

“Virtual production is an integral part of our technology-enabled strategy where we use emergent technologies to facilitate efficient film production,” says Garden Studios’ head of virtual production, Mark Pilborough-Skinner.

“The Anna Valley partnership is the amalgamation of a world-class supplier and an established studio operator, our goals are clearly aligned, and this allows us to provide a state-of-the-art facility to production. It really is a win-win.”
