OUR LOCATIONS

PINEWOOD STUDIOS

Sound stage for Production Audio

N Stage at Pinewood is a fully treated sound stage. We also have acoustic drapes surrounding the volume to enhance the ability for clients to capture the audio performance at the same time as the motion capture, reducing the need for separate ADR sessions.
LED Virtual Production

We are able to set up an LED volume in our main stage to enable a blending of motion capture, live actor and unreal environments at the same time. Please get in touch if you want to know more about this new service we can offer in partnership with iMAG displays.
Stunts

We are able to organise and book stunt performers, riggers and coordinators. We are experienced at building set pieces for climbing and jumping as well as wire work for pulls and jumps. We are also familiar in using specialist equipment like a ‘tuning fork’ to capture swimming, flying, wall running and floating.
Green Room

There is a dedicated area for the performers to relax and recharge between takes. There are snacks and drinks, comfy seating and dining tables. This area can also be used by the director to prep any scenes and collaborate in a relaxed environment.
Client area

We have a dedicated number of desks and comfy gaming chairs for our clients and directors to have the best view of the stage. This allows them to set up any equipment, PCs and video conferencing, enabling collaboration and giving production teams their own space on shoot days.
Witness Cameras

We run Black Magic 4k witness cameras, fully operated by a camera crew to capture the reference footage that we deliver alongside the selected data a client chooses. The cameras are fully integrated with our video recording and distribution system. The cameras are portable and can be positioned anywhere around, and inside the volume for flexibility.
'Behind the Scenes'

If you want to shoot a BTS reel, showing how your VFX, Game, Music video or TV show was made, we can book crew and arrange for on set time in-between shoots to grab that key interview. We can then deliver the footage and audio to you post shoot, for you to edit as you wish..
ROM volume

Dedicated volume area for capturing each performer’s full ‘Range Of Movements’, before entering the main volume stage for the shoot. This gives flexibility to overlap capturing ROM data for multiple performers, whist the shoot is taking place in the main volume.
'On the lot' Partners

With our stage being in the heart of the world famous Pinewood Studios, we are able to partner with industry experts for any filming needs. Please see list of the On the Lot companies we can work with.
Mocap Volume

The dedicated performance capture volume at Pinewood is 10m x 14m (32ft x 45ft) in size, and runs the Vicon camera system.
