As Virtual Production techniques hit the ground running with film makers across the globe, Versatile’s Hangzhou location has already completed construction of its 2nd LED Volume.

The need for a customized LED panel with higher technical specs, translating into more complex shooting techniques, was built to accommodate the strong demand for virtual production shooting.  The 14,000 square metre (150,000 sq foot) building of Versatile’s second LED stage was built to satisfy the growing need for incoming projects that include feature length films, series, virtual shows as well as servicing a vast advertising sector.

Our Hangzhou’s first LED stage is fully booked as virtual production gains popularity with directors and producers and the need for the 2nd stage was set.

Versatile Media LED Screen

The newest stage stands at 8 metres (26.2 ft.) in height, 2 metres taller than the first volume, 24 metres (78.7 ft) in diameter and boasts 9,800 1.8-pixel pitch panels; 5,208 across the stages’ arc and nearly 5000 panels to cover the ceiling.

A wide gamut colour space of DC1-P3 that will support shooting at 120 fps, 1200 NIT luminance and 280 million pixels. 

Leo Lee, Versatile’s CEO and co-founder has always seen technology as a means to express and advance creativity and ultimately communicate great stories. 

“Film is an artistic medium build on technology – they cannot be separated. Were expanding our capacity to make more stories possible.”

– Leo Lee
