Virtual Production Bristol - The Studio Barn

Bristol has long been one of the UK’s most vibrant creative cities. From world-class television and animation to award-winning natural history documentaries, the South West is home to an incredible mix of talent and production.

Now, thanks to a new partnership between CUBE Studio and The Studio Barn, that creative community has something new to get excited about: CUBE StudioX, our mobile virtual production solution, is officially landing in Bristol.

What is CUBE StudioX?

CUBE StudioX was built on a simple but radical idea: that virtual production can take you anywhere, from anywhere. Instead of needing to travel to a large London stage, our mobile LED volumes can be deployed directly into studios like The Studio Barn.

This gives production companies, agencies, and brands in the South West access to the same expertise and technology we’ve used to deliver hundreds of VP projects for global clients - without leaving the region.

Bristol is already a hub for TV drama, advertising, animation, and natural history filmmaking. By partnering with The Studio Barn, we’re bringing a flexible virtual production setup and virtual production services to a city that thrives on creativity and innovation.

As James Hakesley, CEO & Executive Producer at CUBE Studio, explains:

“Bristol has long been a powerhouse in UK production. By bringing CUBE StudioX to The Studio Barn, we’re making our years of expertise and hundreds of successful virtual production projects accessible to the West Coast’s thriving creative community”

What The Studio Barn Offers

The Studio Barn is already a premium production space. With the addition of CUBE StudioX, it now offers:

• Customisable LED volumes - Choose wall sizes that match your project and budget.
• Expert VP crews - Our team of Unreal artists, LED specialists, and playback operators.
• Rapid setup - From booking to shoot in days, not weeks.
• Creative flexibility - Perfect for commercials, TV, corporate content, and music videos.

A New Era for Virtual Production in the South West

The arrival of CUBE StudioX at The Studio Barn means productions in Bristol, Bath, Cardiff, Exeter, and across the South West can access world-class virtual production closer to home.

It’s about making VP more flexible, more accessible, and more cost-effective - all while maintaining the highest production values.
