Cast real-time ambient lighting and parallax motion directly onto clearcoats and windshields. Capture dynamic driving sequences in-camera for broadcast spots and digital campaigns without process trailers, tow rigs, or closed-road permits.
See all the specs for Stage 14
12 sound stages and 20 bookable spaces, each with its own footprint. We'll match the right one.
The LED wall casts natural light onto talent and props, making it ideal for realistic driving scenes and productions where reflective surfaces are key to make the shot real.
Any location. Same day.
Real-time driving plates put any road outside the windows — coast highway, night city, desert two-lane. Swap driving plates between setups without moving the car, the crew or the lighting.
Final frame on the day.
stYpe RedSpy tracking keeps parallax true as the camera moves, so the agency approves the shot on set rather than waiting weeks for a comp.

We know every project is unique, and you might have some questions before getting started.
1
Can I drive the car onto the stage?
Yes. Stages 01 and 03 take vehicles straight through the door, and Stage 01 has fit an Abrams tank. Dock-high loading, and haulers stage inside the fence.
2
What can the turntable hold?
The Stage 02 turntable is 21 ft and hydraulic: it lifts, rotates and tilts. Send the make and model with your dates and we'll confirm the fit.
3
Do you have a lightbox technician?
Yes. The 10' × 40' lightbox on Stage 02 runs with a technician, booked with the stage.
4
Can we shoot driving scenes without a green screen?
Yes. The Stage 14 LED wall puts the road outside the windows and casts real light onto paint and glass, so reflections are captured in camera. No process trailer, tow rig or road permit.
5
Can we shoot the turntable and driving scenes the same day?
Yes. Beauty spins on the Stage 02 turntable in the morning, driving scenes on the Stage 14 LED wall after lunch — the only LA lot we know of with both. No company move, no second permit.
6
Do we need a film permit?
No film permit is needed inside the stages. They are private stages on a private lot, so there are no street closures to arrange.
7
How many days do we need to book the LED wall?
LED playback books with a one-day minimum. XR, which adds camera tracking so parallax stays true as the camera moves, books with a two-day minimum.
