Virtual Production Stage 1

Permanent Virtual Production Stage On Campus

Launched in 2021, Garden Studios has built a state-of-the-art virtual production studio. The facility features a 3,168 sq. ft. studio space with a 12 x 4m LED volume, extendable to 19m wide with additional panels for totems from 7m x 3m. We are a “wet hire” facility that includes prep space, green rooms, and parking.

By situating a VP stage next to traditional sound stages, clients can benefit from the convenience of schedule efficiencies and creative opportunities.

Our team works hand-in-hand with you to advise on script break-downs, scheduling, budgeting, and creative solutions. Reduce your production schedule and risk, save time with top talent, and expand creative options for each scene.

We are proud to have delivered over 110 productions, from commercials, games, and music videos to feature films and television series. Your success on the VP stage is our first priority.

FAQs

Can we use our own suppliers?

One of our key differentiators from the other studios in greater London is that we remain agnostic about which vendors and suppliers you hire for camera and lighting packages, catering, or anything else. We do not tack on fees either.

How will you work with us to adopt sustainability policies?

We ask all of our production clients to partner with us in committing to adopting sustainable production policies. Our Head of Sustainability works closely with HODs to inform them about options for waste reduction, recycling, and re-use. We can direct materials to community organizations given enough time for planning. Signage around campus will indicate where and how to recycling day-to-day materials, not to let vehicles idle, and temperature control in each building. We will capture as much data as possible for future reporting to albert.

Do you have enough parking?

Yes! Despite being in central London, our location in the Park Royal industrial area means we have several acres of property that include lots for unit base or crew parking. In addition to serving the needs of our clients filming at Garden Studios, we offer unit base lots for crews filming around London as well.
