Are you wondering how LED walls can take your creative projects up a notch, especially in virtual commercial production? Let's delve into this. Essentially, LED walls provide you more bang for your buck. Imagine a vast space, with Ultra-HD screens that span end-to-end, showcasing any image with unparalleled realism - that's an LED stage for you! They're like blank canvases offering limitless possibilities, enabling you to film at multiple "locations" in a blink, giving you absolute control over everything from set design to noise control.

Bet you didn't know that popular media like "The Batman," "The Mandalorian," and "Westworld" have all leveraged LED stages to build fully-realized worlds, saving oodles of post-production time while offering a more authentic interaction for the actors.

Mile 80's Experience


Let's give you a real-life example from our experiences at Mile 80. We had just a single day to shoot five music videos, and guess what our game-changer was? An LED stage! It provided us an efficient workflow and a range of visual aesthetics for the artist. We worked closely with the artist right from the start, drawing inspiration to create five distinct locations using our LED walls.


Some cool tricks we learned along the way? Creating depth in the background videos resulted in a mesmerizing effect that made the space seem expansive. Using shallow depths of field further enhanced the illusion. Achieving such realism would've been quite challenging with traditional green screen methods, as they require considerable on-set work or complex post-production tactics to replicate the natural light interactions.


While procuring an LED stage might seem costly upfront, when compared to multiple days of shooting across various locations, it turned out to be a more cost-effective solution. It allowed us to shoot five virtual locations in a single day!

So, if you're curious about how LED stages can take your virtual commercial production to new heights, feel free to reach out. Trust us, it's a game-changer in the world of video production!
