“Once I understood the various technical roles on the stage, I found the collaborative working process hugely positive and very creative. I soon learned that I could control the lighting of the plates by literally moving the sun from dawn to dusk and choosing the time of day for each scene. That was a first for me, and I loved it. The scope for creativity is unlimited.”

“Shooting in a volume like ARRI Stage London is like nothing else; the talent and the creative team all feed off the immersive atmosphere, and it creates an amazing, collaborative environment for all. Knowing you can experiment in real time opens up possibilities that can’t be replicated in any other way.”

Connor Ling, Virtual Production Lead, Framestore

"ARRI is renowned as an industry leader in the cinematography and film space, just as Creative Technology is in live events, so we were extremely happy to hear about ARRI Stage London as a dedicated LED volume. Having a space where we can collaborate, test new workflows and bring projects is absolutely invaluable."
