Virtual production specialist Orbital Studios has relocated to Television City, installing advanced LED walls to enhance local film and television production.

Expansion of production capabilities

Orbital Studios, a specialist in virtual production technology, has officially moved its operations to Television City. The relocation includes the installation of multiple high-specification LED walls, which are central to modern virtual filming techniques.

The move provides local productions with access to cutting-edge hardware used to create immersive digital environments in real-time. This technology allows filmmakers to replace traditional green screens with high-resolution LED displays that provide realistic lighting and backgrounds for actors.

Proven industry track record

The studio brings significant experience from high-profile international projects. Orbital Studios has previously contributed technical expertise to major streaming and broadcast productions, including:

• History’s World War II, featuring Tom Hanks for the History channel.
• Nemesis, a production for Netflix.

By establishing a presence at Television City, the company aims to integrate its specialised workflows into the existing production ecosystem. The deployment of multiple LED volumes suggests an increased capacity for handling complex, large-scale virtual sets.

The impact of virtual production

Virtual production represents a significant shift in how visual effects are integrated into the filmmaking process. Rather than adding digital elements in post-production, the LED wall technology allows for:

• Immediate visual feedback for directors and cinematographers.
• Naturalistic interactive lighting on cast members and props.
• Reduced reliance on traditional location filming in controlled studio environments.

The arrival of these facilities at Television City marks a technical upgrade for the site's infrastructure, supporting the growing demand for sophisticated digital filming solutions within the industry.
