Cube Studio chooses Brompton LED processing for virtual production

Located in Maidenhead, UK, about thirty miles from London, Cube Studio’s 7,500 sq. ft. full-service virtual production studio opened in spring 2023 and has since attracted companies like EY, Final Pixel, McKinsey & Co., Nokia, and RadicalMedia, along with production firms, corporations, and film and TV organisations to choose it for their creative projects. Cube Studio’s VP technology features Brompton Technology LED processing.

Investing in the latest technology was a commitment both James Hakesley, Co-Founder & CEO, and Roy Kimani, Co-Founder & Director of Innovation, felt strongly about. “As a business, we’ve consistently embraced innovation and that’s what attracted us to virtual production. After witnessing the potential of the technology when it was used on Mandalorian, we wholeheartedly immersed ourselves in it”, says Kimani.

“Virtual production is revolutionising the creative and storytelling landscape, and we consider ourselves fortunate to be among its pioneers”, adds Hakesley. “We work extensively in the commercial advertising market, where we’ve achieved success by collaborating with clients and bringing their visions to life. We have also ventured into feature films. Our latest project is a sci-fi short.”

The studio comprises a 10.5 m by 5.5 m LED volume made up of Unilumin LED panels, powered by one 4K Tessera SX40 LED processor from Brompton Technology, and supported by three Tessera 10G data distribution units. Other technologies include Mo-Sys camera tracking. The team also utilises Unreal Engine to assist in creating photo-realistic virtual environments.

Apart from shooting at their permanently installed Cube Studio facility in Maidenhead, Hakesley and Kimani have also undertaken mobile work, deploying the VP setup on the road, with a recent example including action-thriller feature film “Cleaner”, starring Daisy Ridley directed by Martin Campbell, which is scheduled for release early 2025.
