When Real Locations Are Impractical
Need a spot that’s difficult to shoot, like a busy airport, factory, retail store, or the surface of Mars? Let’s create a virtual world exactly the way you want it. Anywhere you can’t shoot, we can.
Lighting Made Easy
Want to keep golden hour going all day long? No problem. Adjust the intensity, color, and direction of lighting in real-time. Because the LED Volume is a light source, you’ll find that you have accurate light, shadows, and reflections without any work in post production.
Weather That Works
When you need clear skies, a dramatic thunderstorm, or light snowfall, you can dial in the exact atmosphere you want without waiting on nature. The best part: no rain delays, snow days, or unbearable humidity.
The Perks
- Less travel and moving costs
- No location scouting, permits, or fees
- Faster shooting schedules
- Reduced crew needs
- Less post-production work
Testimonials
Team > Tech
Before we talk shop, let’s get one thing straight.
Great tech is NOTHING without a strong team that balances technical expertise with a talent for creativity and storytelling. You need creatives and engineers who go the extra mile, constantly innovate, and push the boundaries of what’s possible. People who live and breathe this stuff every day because it’s who they are.
So, we’ll let you know if we ever find people like that. For now, you’ll have to settle for these characters (meet our team).

Case Studies
Cody Clix
Two weeks. That’s what we had to bring a Fortnite-inspired world to life in a way that captures the full Clix experience. The idea: “Sound Is Survival.” The goal? Take Cody out of his real-world setup in Texas and drop him straight into a fully immersive, in-game universe the moment he puts on the new JBL headset. And it had to feel real.
Car Process
Capturing car driving footage on or off road usually means securing camera cars, car mounts, permits, closed courses, professional drivers, and a whole lot of budget. It’s logistically complex, weather-dependent, and comes with serious safety considerations. For many productions, it’s just not practical.
Culture Pop
The Fair Folk agency needed to produce two broadcast spots for their new client, Culture Pop. The approved concepts called for two unique locations: a suburban neighborhood and a city park. Each set relies on oversaturated colors and a bright, sunny day.
Sweet Baby Ray's & Ken's Salad Dressing
Windy Films and the GYK Agency concepted an ambitious series of digital videos featuring Sweet Baby Ray’s barbecue sauce and Ken’s Salad Dressing. The assignment would require tabletop food content, exterior lifestyle video, and photography, and outdoor grilled meat shots. 8 videos, 2 products, in 2 days.
Gray Whale Gin
The talented team at Colossus Creative concepted a series of videos that required 6 exterior locations along the California coast from Monterey to Malibu. All with perfect early afternoon light and weather, and the ability to change the perspective of the background to match a foreground bar and midground actors. Oh, and it needed to happen in one day!
Boston Dynamics
Boston Dynamics needed a controlled studio environment to create high-quality content of their Atlas humanoid robot for a major tech summit keynote.
