Frequently Asked Questions
-
A virtual production studio combines high-resolution LED screens, camera tracking technology and real-time rendering software such as Unreal Engine to create realistic environments directly in-camera. Instead of filming in multiple physical locations, productions can create dynamic virtual worlds inside the studio, reducing travel, weather delays and post-production costs.
-
An LED volume is a large curved LED screen environment used in virtual production. The LED walls display virtual environments in real time, allowing realistic reflections, lighting and backgrounds to appear naturally on camera.
At Silvertown Studios our LED volumes are designed specifically for on-camera work using high-resolution LED panels, Brompton processing and optical camera tracking.
-
Green screen requires backgrounds to be added during post-production.
Virtual production allows backgrounds and environments to appear live on the LED screens while filming.
This gives directors, agencies and talent the ability to see the final environment during production, improving creativity, realism and efficiency.
-
Yes.

Virtual production is ideal for vehicle content because realistic driving environments can be displayed on the LED volume while the vehicle remains stationary.
This allows complete control over lighting, reflections, weather conditions and backgrounds.
