Unreal Engine Technology:
The Future — and the Present —
of TV & Film

UNLEASH THE POWER OF THE UNREAL ENGINE WITH
L.A. CASTLE STUDIOS

L.A. Castle Studios is the Leader in Unreal Engine Productions

No one is asking the questions “Why Unreal Engine?” or “Why virtual?” because hit shows and films like Disney’s The Mandalorian and L.A. Castle Studios’ productions have demonstrated the power and flexibility of Unreal and virtual set production for filming any and all types of content. 

The question being asked now is “How can production companies utilize the Unreal Engine and virtual sets in a way that is spectacular, easy, and at the cutting-edge of technology?” The answer is to that question is: Shoot at L.A. Castle Studios. 

Production companies, directors, and filmmakers choose L.A. Castle Studios for producing content because L.A. Castle Studios makes a production’s vision come to life, in the safest, greenest way possible, with crews as small as you choose, no trees being cut down for sets, and no emissions from travel and construction. Our Unreal Engine setup is unparalleled. 

Here’s why. 

L.A. Castle Studios is multi-camera, meaning your team gets every angle simultaneously. These multiple cameras are able to move freely, without restriction, as they would on any “practical” location or million dollar standing set -- without spending the million dollars. Multi-camera for scripted scenes and film means faster productions and it’s easier on actors, as they sometimes need to do the same scene only once to get every angle needed. For talk and news style shows, multi-camera is the only setup that makes sense. Some locations, like restaurants, markets, and extremely specific locations can utilize our patented method of virtual set creation that allows for scenes, shot on our stage, to be indistinguishable from shooting on-location. One of our cameras is on a camera crane, so your team can walk away with stunning sweeping crane shots.

L.A. Castle Studios is multi-feed. Our multiple feeds give your post production team an incredible amount of creative control over the set and scene. We offer each of the following feeds for all three cameras. 

1. Live composite. This feed shows the talent, environment (set), and any practical set pieces all together. The L.A. Castle Studios live composite is the top in its class and it’s what most of our clients use when creating their final product for the viewer. 

2. Background only. This feed is the moving background, tracked with each camera, minus talent and any practical set elements. This feed is important because it allows for the post production team to make modifications or corrections to the set without affecting talent or other elements. 

3. Foreground only. This feed captures the production without the live-composited set and is important for making color and other adjustments to talent and/or other elements without affecting the set or scene overall. 

4. Matte and tracking data. This feed displays as white for composited elements and black for non-composited elements. Post-production teams will use this feed to correct any of the rare imperfections that might pop up in the scene. 

L.A. Castle Studios has your production covered with twelve total feeds of data, that’s four feeds from each camera. You’ve never had control over any production like this, even in the real world. 

L.A. Castle Studios uses the latest in cutting-edge software to power these productions. If you’ve seen it and are excited about it, we’re either ahead already or will be first to apply the latest so our clients can utilize the best as soon as possible. 

L.A. Castle Studios uses the latest in cutting-edge hardware. Though the studio has existed for over a decade, we’re always working to upgrade our hardware to make sure that our clients’ productions look better than what can be seen anywhere else. Our most recent hardware upgrade has been to our graphics cards and lighting package. Our new state-of-the-art graphics cards enable us to shoot with RTX ray tracing capabilities, allowing for digital sets that look even more real than ever before. We’ve upgraded our available lighting to the newest and best in LED RGBW technology. When you enter L.A. Castle Studios, you’re entering what’s by square foot, the best lit studio in Hollywood.

L.A. Castle Studios includes everything you’re likely to need to shoot. This includes cameras, audio, lighting, sets, full-technical integration capability for outside or specialized equipment, set furniture for talk-show style productions, news desks, and much, much more.

Shadows -- for total reality. Shadows are vitally important for Unreal productions. L.A. Castle Studios has been able to master the “art of the shadow” to create scenes that look identical to being filmed on-location. The shadows that we create are not digital shadows but easy-to-work-with actual shadows of talent and props. A best practice is to adjust our lighting to match the angle of the virtual light in the Unreal scene for total reality.

At L.A. Castle Studios, you’re not limited to using Unreal for the background alone. Instead you’re set free to utilize Unreal for total scene immersion. This means that your team can mix as many practical elements into the scene as they want. For instance if you’re filming a restaurant scene, you may want to use a real table where talent can dine. If you’re filming a bedroom scene, you may want to include a real bed and dresser. If you’re filming an outdoor scene, you may want to include a real lamp post for your talent to lean against. The combinations are endless and each includes live compositing and total immersion. 

L.A. Castle Studios is the experienced virtual production facility. We’ve been making virtual content since 2008 and are proud to have been involved in the virtual space for so long and the opportunities that we’ve had to connect with great people, work on great projects, and to be at the forefront of the future of Hollywood. 

Major networks and filmmakers trust L.A. Castle Studios for their Unreal productions. We’re glad to work with networks, production companies, and filmmakers with projects of all sizes.

Production at L.A. Castle Studios is safe. Because Unreal is easy for us to work with, we’re able to work with smaller crews than you ever thought possible. With the size of our facility and stage, and the size of crews needed, your cast and crew can remain socially distanced and safe while creating the same (or better!) high quality content that you and your viewers expect.

The L.A. Castle Studios dressing rooms, green rooms, common areas, and stage are luxurious and comfortable. We keep things clean, orderly, and sanitized. The LED video wall in our production area provides a movie-theater sized live feed to the L.A. Castle Studios Stage. For Unreal productions, you’ll see the live composite and any other feed you’d like to see, from multiple angles. There’s nothing else like it. 

Filming with the Unreal Engine offers limitless possibilities for your production. Imagine sets anywhere you can dream -- in any configuration you can imagine -- without construction costs or travel time -- for your production. 

Dreams come true at L.A. Castle Studios. We’re redefining the science of cinema -- and are proud to be at the cutting edge of virtual sets and using the Unreal Engine.

A New Era for Standing Sets

L.A. Castle Studios is proud to offer standing sets for any location, in 4K with beautiful lighting and cinema cameras and lenses. These sets, powered by the Unreal Video Game Engine, are better than traditional standing sets because often we have not just one room or one street, but a whole house or an entire city available for your film, TV show, talk show, news program, and more. And, in our sets, unlike traditional standing sets, we can shoot a full 360 degrees. In our sets, we can light vast areas and we can even control the weather.

Spaceship & Space Station Sci-Fi Sets

THE MOST ADVANCED SPACE SETS — AND WE’VE ELIMINATED SET CONSTRUCTION COSTS.

You’ll Love Filming Sci-Fi at L.A. Castle Studios

L.A. Castle Studios is an incredible production facility tailor-made to record stunning science fiction or documentary-style space scenes on our many available spaceship sets and space station sets. We provide everything you’re likely to need to film including cameras, lighting, crew, reference monitors, a set, and more.

Our spaceship sets and space station sets are amazingly advanced. Some of our space sets look like they’re right out of the near future as they’re nearly identical to something you might see soon visiting the ISS. Others look like they’re from the distant future, utilizing space technology that doesn’t yet actually exist. Each of our sets is totally customizable, so if your scene requires perhaps a ship that can cross dimensions, we’ll dress the set until it matches your vision — whatever you can imagine.

These spaceship and space station sets are large and all-encompassing with multiple rooms for every scene like bedrooms, mess-halls, cockpits, kitchens, engine rooms, etc. There’s plenty of area to shoot your whole series -- or just one scene. You can mix and match our spaceship sets too, giving your production a huge amount of variety and fantastic production value.

Our spaceship sets are environmentally friendly. Because we’re powered by the Unreal Video Game Engine, our sets require no materials to create, thus saving resources. And because you can film multiple locations and scenes at this one location, you’re saving emissions and travel time and expenses. Many spaceship sets are trashed after use -- ours are stored on hard drives and ready for your next production.

L.A. Castle Studios spaceship sets are incredibly cost-effective because there are no construction costs, travel costs, or set storage costs and you get a huge number of space environments to film in.

Contact us and schedule a tour and demo of L.A. Castle Studios and we’ll put you right into some of our incredible spaceship and space station sets.

Press Junkets Made Easy

Our incredible technology makes the production of press junkets easier and better looking than you ever could have imagined. Our unique studio allows you to use both of two options. 

PRESS JUNKET OPTION 1

Recreate the scenes of your film or TV show. 

L.A. Castle Studios has developed a patent-pending technology that allows our clients to recreate scenes from your TV show or film, complete with extras, crew, etc., right on our stage. This allows for press junkets to be filmed at the convenience of the talent, on our stage, with the latest in news and updates, long after filming has actually wrapped. Your talent will feel like they’re right back on set and, if you mention networks, stations, and hosts by name, the recipients of your junkets will love it because their audience will assume that you were thinking of them right on set — and you were! Utilizing our patent-pending technology including extras, crew, etc., requires a small amount of filming to take place on set before wrapping your production so please let us know early if you would like to utilize that our technology. If the production has wrapped already, no problem! We’ll find or create a set that looks very similar to the set where the TV show or film takes place. Either way, you’ll leave the studio with junket segments that you, the press, and their viewers will love. 

PRESS JUNKET OPTION 2

TV Talk Show or News Set Junkets.

L.A. Castle Studios has developed a technique that comes close to guaranteeing maximum exposure for your press junkets. Here’s how it works. When they arrive, your talent will find themselves “at home” and comfortable in our gorgeous facility. On our stage, your talent will read from our best-in-the-industry teleprompter system as they mention networks, stations, and hosts by name. As your talent is mentioning particular networks, stations, and hosts, the L.A. Castle Studios crew will change the images and videos in the set behind the talent to match the network, stations, and hosts in sequence. Those networks, stations, and hosts love to hear their names mentioned particularly, and this guarantees maximum plays of your talent and content. Trust us on this; we’ve been in the TV business for a long time and we have a lot of experience in maximizing air plays. 

Each talk show or news style set will be customized with images and video from the TV show or film that your talent is promoting. We can even change images and video live to match segments with exactly what the talent is describing at that particular time. 

No other method for producing press junkets comes close to the beautiful look you’ll receive at L.A. Castle Studios. Contact us for a tour and demo of our press junket sets and method.
