Synapse Virtual Production is pleased to announce the opening of its flagship LED Volume stage at Los Angeles Center Studios’ 150’ x 120’ Stage 4. The volume itself is 60’ wide, 22’ tall and 35’ deep with 2 large LED Wild Walls for additional interactive off-camera lighting, or to extend the volume’s side walls, allowing even more camera move options.

Utilizing AOTO Electronics 2.3mm pixel-pitch LED panels with 170-degree off-axis viewing capability and Brompton Technology Limited SX40 Tessera video processors and stYpe tracking systems, Synapse’s unique design/shape incorporates a matching full-resolution 2.3mm seamless ceiling that perfectly marries to the Volume’s main wall with no tracking cameras, gaps or other obstructions to be painted out. This truly represents “final pixel” in-camera visual effects (ICVFX) captured live on set. Content to the wall may be driven by either Epic Games’ Unreal Engine for full 3D tracked environments, or various 2D media via Pixera Corporation servers.

The Volume’s physical placement on the stage permits tracked cameras to shoot the full 60’ width of the volume from up to 100’ away. This allows for unmatched extreme wide shots to be captured with maximized practical set depth, or to shoot scenes with large cranes and high angles of up to 35’. The volume’s LED panels are also only an inch off the stage floor, allowing for easy set-dressing integration without having to bring in cumbersome customized steel deck platforms… Car shoots can literally drive into shot on a freshly installed polished dark epoxy floor. Having an epoxy floor added to the volume allows for the in-camera capture of practical reflections of assets being displayed on the LEDs that interact dynamically with the polished floor.

Locating Synapse flagship studio on Los Angeles Center Studios downtown-adjacent campus brings with it all of the conveniences of a major studio lot: offering multiple modern soundstages, a standing office tower building (which houses many preexisting sets as utilized on shows like Mad Men, as well as additional production office space), established studio infrastructure amenities and an exterior backlot with downtown LA as its sweeping background.

Since launching in 2022, Synapse has rapidly emerged as a leading authority in the world of cutting-edge imaging technology solutions for the film and entertainment industry. With a focus on virtual production, the company is more than just a cutting-edge LED stage, Synapse offers support across all aspects of the image creation process including: consulting, budgeting, scheduling, creative development, boarding/shot creation, previs, production services, environment design/VAD creation, post-production and VFX.
