State-of-the-art virtual production stage designed for groundbreaking projects
As one of Europe’s largest fixed virtual production facilities, ARRI Stage London provides a premium choice for high-quality feature, episodic television, commercial, and music video projects.
Delivered as a collaboration between ARRI and Creative Technology, the facility showcases a state-of-the-art LED volume with creative software platforms, powerful media servers, and the latest ICVFX technologies, all within a dedicated 708 m² studio space located at ARRI’s UK premises in Uxbridge, West London.
The LED volume at ARRI Stage London consists of a main, ‘in-vision’ curve, two mobile side screens, a dynamic height-adjustable ceiling, and back curve. The wraparound configuration can be programmed to display 360-degree imagery that even when not in frame, casts dynamic, fully integrated lighting effects onto the performers and the scene being shot.
The main in-vision curve is 30 m wide x 5 m high (98.4 ft x 16.4 ft) and constructed from ROE Visual Ruby 2.3 LED panels.
Two moveable and tiltable side screens, each 3 m wide x 4 m high (9.84 ft x 13.1 ft), comprise ROE Visual Carbon CB5 LED panels.
The back curve measures 19 m wide x 4 m high (62.3 ft x 13.1 ft) and also uses ROE Visual Carbon CB5 LED panels.
The dynamic motorized ceiling is 10 m x 10 m (32.8 ft x 32.8 ft) and built from ROE Black Pearl 2 LED panels. The four sections can work independently and tilt to an angle of 45 degrees. Precise positioning creates reflections wherever needed.
ARRI Stage London helps clients meet their goals for responsible, greener projects:
IP-based lighting control with integrated ARRI Orbiter and SkyPanel LED fixtures, mounted to motorized lighting truss for authentic skin tone and fine detail rendering.
A bespoke automated rigging and suspension system can be controlled by a single operator, providing safe, millimeter-accurate positioning, reducing expensive downtime.
Multiple tracking and processing systems integrated within the stage, allowing for instant transition between 2D and 3D workflows. Guest systems can also be connected into the stage’s workflow, giving productions flexible options, rather than a single prescribed set up.
In-house virtual production specialists from ARRI and Creative Technology provide guidance from script to screen.
Extensive backstage and crew areas, including make-up and wardrobe, crew dining room, outdoor areas, and VIP lounges.
ARRI Rental located on the same facility for high-end camera, lighting, and grip packages.
“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.”

"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."
“Virtual production unlocks so much more than location. ARRI Stage London has been designed to be completely immersive, inspiring both the talent and the creative team to try ambitious shots or push perspectives that would have previously eaten into tight production schedules.”
“Completing seven different set ups in just eleven hours was a challenge, but the thoughtful design and engineering of ARRI Stage London enabled us to transition swiftly, thanks to the stage automation and playback systems.”
