The 2,200sqm stage, operated by VFX company Pixomondo and film rental firm WFW in Vancouver, Canada, has been named by Guinness World Records.
Guinness World Records has named a 2,200sqm, 310° virtual production stage in Vancouver, Canada as ‘the world’s largest LED stage’.
The stage, operated by visual effects company Pixomondo and film rental specialist William F White International (WFW), has an LED screen that is 24.3m x 8.3m, with 2,500 LED wall panels and 760 LED ceiling panels, giving a total coverage of 720 sqm.
A Guinness Worlds Records entry said: “LED volumes such as the one at Pixomondo are used to film virtual productions using real-time-rendered imagery, resulting in scenes that can be recorded in-camera. Dynamic photo-real imagery combines with physical props to create visual effects without the need for green screens. This real-time technology allows actors to see and interact with their environment, even when the camera moves position, and also to be lit correctly for their location.” Craig Glenday, editor-in-chief of Guinness World Records, added: “As fans of this latest generation of effects-led movies and TV shows, it’s exciting to be able to recognize a space as magical as the Pixomondo and William F. White International stage. It’s almost literally a dream factory where anything can be conjured up, from flying dragons to dramatic moonscapes.” Among the productions filmed at the Pixomondo and William F White International stage is the upcoming live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender (Nickelodeon/Netflix, 2022).
