The stage itself sits at our flagship facility in the Toronto area — a direct, roughly 90-minute flight from O’Hare — but every other part of the process is handled by your local team: creative calls, budgeting, casting coordination and client servicing all happen on Chicago time. Many agencies use the short trip as a working session, previsualizing scenes with our Unreal Engine artists before the crew ever leaves the city. Because production runs in Canadian dollars, Chicago brands typically see meaningful savings versus booking a comparable volume stage in the US.
Commercials, music videos, broadcast segments, automotive and food/CPG content all thrive on the volume’s flexibility — fitting territory for a market built around Kraft, M&M’s and other packaged-goods giants headquartered near Chicago. Switch environments in seconds, direct with confidence from a live monitor, and walk away with a finished shot instead of a VFX to-do list.
Our dedicated Unreal Engine artists build custom, photorealistic environments for every New York project — from an ever-expanding assets library to fully bespoke worlds — and offer previsualization so your team can plan camera angles, art direction and lighting before the shoot day.
Our state-of-the-art LED Volume is 58 feet wide with a 1.9mm pixel pitch for ultra-sharp, cinematic visuals, fully integrated with Unreal Engine, real-time camera tracking and a custom ARRI lighting grid — accessible to Chicago productions through our local team.
The volume is at our flagship facility in the Toronto area, a direct flight from O’Hare. Our Chicago team manages the entire booking and production process locally, and can also bring ICVFX or equipment directly to a Chicago stage if a physical LED wall isn’t required.
Yes. Our in-house Virtual Art Department builds custom 3D environments, props and full scenes in Unreal Engine 5.5, from photorealistic locations to fully stylized worlds.
Unlike a green screen, the LED volume displays real-time environments with natural lighting and reflections, so actors interact with virtual worlds live on camera — no post-production guesswork.
