SCENE 01 / VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
Virtual Production
LED volume and real-time VFX for your Brazilian production.
Here is how this works in practice. Virtual production merges physical filmmaking with real-time digital environments, using LED volumes, motion capture, and game engine technology to create in-camera visual effects. This way gives directors and cinematographers immediate visual feedback, reduces post-prod timelines, and enables creative flexibility on set.
Here is the short of it. We connect you with virtual production stages and tech teams equipped to deliver real-time rendered environments for your project. Our team sets up facility booking, content pipeline setup, and on-set tech support to make sure your virtual production workflow operates smoothly from pre-visualization through final capture.

On Location
Unreal Engine 5 + Disguise + Mo-Sys / Stype / Ncam ICVFX pipelines at O2 Filmes São Paulo, Globo Estúdios PROJAC Rio, and Casablanca Studios with cross-border ILM Stagecraft / Pixomondo LA backup
Here is how this works in practice. Brazil's virtual-production skill has scaled from zero to feature-grade from \1021 and 2025 driven by the SVOD content boom (Netflix, Globoplay, Disney+, HBO Max, Prime Video, Apple TV+ Brazilian-language originals). The country's primary VP / ICVFX stages are O2 Filmes São Paulo (Fernando Meirelles's firm, full LED Volume + Unreal Engine pipeline), Globo Estúdios PROJAC Rio (the world's largest TV operation since 1965 — emerging VP integrated with telenovela floor for next-gen broadcast graphics + LED Volume hybrid telenovela shoots), Casablanca Studios São Paulo, Gullane Filmes, and Estúdios Mega Rio.
On the ground, LED-panel inventory is ROE Visual Black Pearl BP2V2 + Carbon CB5 + Diamond DM2.6 driven by Brompton Tessera SX40 processors with Brompton Hydra calibration. Control is Disguise vx 4+ / Designer media servers with Unreal Engine 5.4+ (Niagara, Lumen, Nanite, MetaHumans). Camera tracking is Mo-Sys StarTracker + VP Pro, Stype RedSpy + Kit, Ncam Mk2. Cameras are ARRI Alexa 35 / Alexa Mini LF, Sony Venice 2 Rialto, RED V-Raptor.
Here is the short of it. The Brazilian VP commission catalogue dominates Netflix Brasil + Globoplay first-series exterior-plate work (Salles I'm Still Here 2024 supporting pipeline, Padilha Netflix work, Mendonça Filho streaming features), Disney+ regional shoots, Prime Video originals, and high-end automotive + telecom + financial commercial work for Itaú, Bradesco, Vivo, Magazine Luiza, Natura, and Stellantis Brasil. Cross-border integration runs through ILM Stagecraft + Pixomondo LA partnerships when feature loadouts exceed local stage capacity. Brazilian DPs frequently work both sides of that pipeline.
Here is the breakdown. On the ground, Finishing flows through Quanta Post São Paulo (Brazil's dominant VFX + DI house), O2 Pos, and Conspiração Filmes Rio. ANCINE / Lei do Audiovisual Article 1A/1B/1B-bis / Lei Rouanet / FSA federal sector fund / state rebates (Lei do Audiovisual Paulista, Rio Filme Decreto, Pernambuco / Bahia / Ceará / Minas Gerais) all factor funding structures. CLT / FGTS 8% / 13º salário across freelance. ANATEL clears wireless camera-tracking link.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
What is virtual production?
Virtual production uses LED walls displaying real-time rendered environments instead of green screens. The camera sees a finished background on set, allowing immediate creative decisions and in-camera visual effects that interact with lighting.
What are the benefits over green screen?
LED volumes give realistic reflections in eyes and surfaces, accurate interactive lighting on actors, immediate creative feedback, reduced post-prod time, and no green spill or complex keying needs.
What software do you use?
We primarily use Unreal Engine for real-time rendering, along with industry-standard tools for tracking, color science, and asset management. The system integrates with standard cinema cameras and workflows.
Can you create custom environments?
Yes, our virtual art department creates custom 3D environments optimized for LED volume display. These can be photorealistic locations, fantastical worlds, or anything in between—delivered ready for real-time playback.
What about camera tracking?
Camera tracking is key for perspective-correct backgrounds. We use pro tracking systems that sync camera position with virtual environment rendering, keeping parallax and perspective as the camera moves.
Where are LED volumes in Brazil?
Brazil has growing LED volume facilities in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. We can advise on the best stage for your needs and set up all tech aspects of virtual production including crew and gear.
