Sweden’s Studio Fares unveils Europe’s largest projector-based virtual production wall | News
Sweden’s Studio Fares today launches what it says is Europe’s largest projector-based virtual production wall, measuring 24m x 8m.
Studio Fares, based in Trollhättan, is already the second largest sound stage in Scandinavia with an area of 1,100 square meters.
The studio says the new wall “makes it easy to project different scenery on different parts of the wall and still be able to film in the studio on other stage constructions.”
“You don’t need many LED screens, nor server halls, which saves expensive electricity and thus the climate. The wall is flat, not curved, and different parts of the wall can be used for filming. And the rest of the studio can easily be used for other stage constructions. Overall, it saves money, time and climate, says Tyler Reid, who is responsible for regional infrastructure, virtual production and post-production at Film i Väst, the region’s production fund.
Mikael Fellenius, CEO of Film i Väst, added: “Through the wall, we can create more jobs, technical development, higher skills and less travel. We are very proud of The Wall and this opportunity to show it to all invited.”
A delegation of industry participants at the Gothenburg Film Festival will be present at the unveiling.
The wall is delivered by Behind The Wall and partners are DUPP Film, Film i Väst, Gothenborg Film Studios, Haymaker, Igelkott Väst, Klas Jansson Construction, Rasmus Eriksson Virtual Production Supervisor, Studio Skoog and Storyline.
