LED Wall Virtual Production
In-camera visual effects for your New York 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. New York hosts the largest US studio complex outside Hollywood: Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard runs 30 stages on 50 acres (the largest is 27,000 sq ft on the East Coast), Silvercup Studios, Kaufman Astoria and Broadway Stages provide additional ICVFX-capable space, and Wildflower Studios is adding 775,000 sq ft in Queens.
We connect you with LED wall facilities and Unreal Engine teams across NYC, supported by post houses including Picture Shop, PostWorks NY, Harbor, Nice Shoes and String & Can. Our team coordinates stage booking, virtual art department resources and the up to 30% New York State Film Tax Credit (with $700M annual cap) through the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.

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 York locations such as the Manhattan skyline, Brooklyn brownstones, Central Park, the Hudson Valley and the Hamptons to sci-fi worlds and historical periods. Environments can be built from photogrammetry of real NY sites or designed from scratch in Unreal Engine.
Do you have LED stages in New York?
Yes. Steiner Studios at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, Silvercup Studios, Kaufman Astoria and Broadway Stages all host virtual production and ICVFX-capable facilities, and we can coordinate temporary LED volume installations when a custom configuration is required.
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.
