As part of the launch, DNEG and Dimension also debuted two of
the world’s largest LED volume stages, in London and Rome, and
released a behind-the-scenes video titled The Evolution of Virtual
Production to showcase its latest virtual production techniques and
advancements.
DNEG and Dimension initially announced a joint venture to
deliver virtual production services in February 2021. The newly
launched DNEG 360 service expands this successful partnership
between DNEG and Dimension to include Visualisation, Virtual
Production, Content Creation, and Development services. This
offering provides clients with an end-to-end production solution
and a seamless transition through development, pre-production and
virtual production into visual effects and post for feature film
and episodic projects, advertising, music videos and more.
DNEG 360 operates two of the world’s largest LED volume stages,
at studios in London and Rome. The London studio offers two stages:
Stage One features an LED volume with 1600 panels making up a 20m x
8m curved LED wall, with four wild walls, and a retractable LED
ceiling; Stage Two is set up for performance, vehicle, and
volumetric capture. The team’s second LED operation is situated at
the world-famous Cinecittà Studios in Rome, utilising a 24m x 8m
LED volume with a LED ceiling and a 25m rotating platform deck to
allow for quick repositioning of sets.
Steve Griffith, Managing Director of DNEG 360 and Dimension
Studio, said: “DNEG 360 is the only end-to-end, real-time powered
service provider operating at this kind of scale anywhere in the
world. Our experienced and talented team has delivered thousands of
shots and over 800 virtual production shoot days, which has allowed
us to refine our approach through hands-on experience. We have
taken the promise of the technology and made it work at scale,
mapping out and defining the creative journey through the digital
production process, from development through to delivery. This
allows us to provide guidance, experience, and continuity for our
clients as they navigate the filmmaking process, reducing risk and
finding cost efficiencies.”
Since 2021, DNEG and Dimension have delivered virtual production
work on shows such as ‘Masters of the Air’ (Apple TV+), ‘Those
About To Die’ (Peacock), ‘Here’ (Sony Pictures), ‘Avatar: The Last
Airbender’ (Netflix), ‘No Way Up’ (Altitude Film Entertainment),
‘Devotion’ (Sony Pictures), ‘The Muppets Mayhem’ (Disney+), and
many others.
DNEG Global CEO Namit Malhotra said: “The launch of DNEG 360 is
another example of DNEG’s strategy of investing in areas of
technological advancement to reinforce our leadership position. The
work that the DNEG 360 team is delivering is second-to-none, and
the advances that we are making in real-time technologies and
virtual production techniques are both creatively exciting and
game-changing in terms of the opportunities and efficiencies that
they open up for our clients and partners. I’m excited to welcome
our clients to explore our world-leading LED volume stages in
London and Rome, and I look forward to seeing DNEG 360’s latest
slate of projects hitting our screens soon.”
