Umbrella Studios
ST.02 / The Volume / virtual production, San Diego

A curved LED wall
for virtual production.

Virtual production puts real, moving environments on a giant LED wall behind your talent, lit by the screen itself. Unlike a green screen, you see the final shot in camera, with real reflections and real light, and nothing to composite in post. A trained operator runs the 36 by 13 foot wall on every booking, so you direct while we handle the tech.

OVERHEAD LIGHTING GRID LED 36 FT 13 FT CAMERA / REAL-TIME TRACKING / GENLOCK
The biggest one in town

San Diego's largest virtual-production LED volume.

The nearest comparable stages are in Irvine and Los Angeles. Shoot here and skip the drive, the trucking, and the out-of-town crew. Put sunrise in Iceland and midnight in Tokyo behind your talent in a single San Diego day: no flights, no permits, no weather, no location fees.

02 What it is for

Final pixel, in camera.

01

Interviews & seated talent

A 36 foot wall is made for medium and seated shots. Put a real, reactive world behind your talent, final in camera, no compositing.

02

Car & process

Believable driving and motion plates with reflections and interactive light playing across the subject.

03

Virtual sets

Swap worlds between setups. One stage, many locations, no company move.

04

Product & tabletop

Wrap products in controllable, screen-accurate light and reflected environments.

05

Interactive light

The wall is your key. Drive color, motion, and mood straight from the content on screen.

06

Music & content

Reactive backdrops for performance, brand films, and social content that would be impossible on location.
