Services FAQ
We know every project is unique, and you might have some questions before getting started.
Not necessarily. You can bring your own assetes or utilize our in-house World Building team to source, create, and polish assets. We'll cover the right approach during the tech consultation
We recommend environments finalized and calibrated to Stage 14's LED profile at least one week before shoot day. This allows time for a tech rehearsal and color calibration before you have a full crew on set.
Stage 14 works with virtually all professional cinema cameras. Wider lenses above T2.8 typically produce the best results. Lenses with strong native focus breathing can complicate sType tracking — we'll walk through your specific kit on the tech call.
Yes. Stage 14 is fully broadcast-ready and has been used for live streaming, virtual event backdrops, and hybrid in-person/broadcast experiences — with dedicated fiber, A/V support, and live streaming built in.
All stages including Stage 14 are booked on a day-rate basis — 12 hours minimum. Given the technical setup required for XR production, most productions find a full day to be the right minimum regardless.
With green screen, your background is added weeks later in post. With the LED volume, it's live on set — the director sees the final shot in real time, the wall emits actual light onto talent, and you leave shoot day with a dramatically lighter post pipeline.
The main difference is where and how the environments are created and/or sourced. XR usually involves building complex Unreal scenes, combined with precision camera tracking. LED does not (usually) include camera tracking, and can be accomplished with my traditional video and photographic backplates.
