LED Wall Virtual Production

In-camera visual effects for your New Zealand production.

LED wall virtual production uses large LED display volumes to project real-time rendered environments behind performers, replacing traditional green screen with photorealistic in-camera backgrounds. Wellington is the world's leading VFX hub, anchored by Stone Street Studios (15,000m² of stages used for Avatar and The Lord of the Rings), Avalon Studios, Auckland Film Studios and Kumeu Film Studios — all integrated with the Weta Workshop and Park Road Post ecosystem.

We connect you with LED wall facilities and Unreal Engine teams across New Zealand, supported by world-leading post houses including Weta FX (Avatar, LOTR, Planet of the Apes), Park Road Post (founded by Peter Jackson), Images & Sound and The Lab. Our team coordinates stage booking, virtual art department resources and the up to 40% NZ Screen Production Grant through the NZ Film Commission.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is LED wall virtual production?

LED wall virtual production (also called ICVFX - In-Camera Visual Effects) uses large LED displays to show real-time rendered environments behind actors. The camera captures both performers and background in-camera, providing realistic lighting and reflections.

What are the advantages over green screen?

LED walls provide realistic lighting that illuminates actors naturally, capture accurate reflections in eyes and surfaces, and allow actors to see the environment they're performing in. Results are captured in-camera, reducing post-production VFX work.

What kind of environments can you create?

Virtually any environment—from authentic New Zealand locations such as Fiordland, the Southern Alps, Tongariro and the Coromandel Peninsula to sci-fi worlds and historical periods. Environments can be built from photogrammetry of real NZ sites or designed in Unreal Engine by Weta FX.

Do you have LED stages in New Zealand?

Yes. We work with virtual production capable spaces at Stone Street Studios in Wellington, Auckland Film Studios and Kumeu Film Studios, and can coordinate temporary LED volume installations within those large stage complexes when a custom configuration is needed.

How does camera tracking work?

Camera tracking systems measure the camera's exact position and rotation in real-time, allowing the virtual environment to respond with correct parallax as the camera moves. This creates convincing perspective shifts.

What's involved in pre-production?

Virtual production requires significant pre-production—building digital environments, planning camera moves, and technical setup. Starting early allows time to develop assets and iterate on creative decisions.
