Virtual Production Newcastle & Gateshead

CUBE StudioX brings mobile LED volumes and full virtual production services to Newcastle, Gateshead and the North East.

CUBE StudioX brings virtual production to the North East. We deploy mobile LED volume stages, camera tracking and Unreal Engine crews directly to Newcastle, Gateshead and locations across the region - so you get world-class virtual production without sending your shoot 300 miles south.

Whether you're shooting a commercial, branded content, drama or automotive work, our team designs, builds and operates a complete LED volume at your location or a partner studio near you - backed by CUBE's network of permanent stages in London, Bristol, Norwich and Manchester.

Virtual Production Anywhere: how it works

Most virtual production studios expect you to come to them. CUBE Studio works the other way around. Our Virtual Production Anywhere model means we bring the entire volume to you:

  • Mobile LED walls in flexible sizes — from compact 5×3m setups for product and interview work up to large-format walls for full drama and automotive shoots
  • High-quality LED panels (1.9–2.8mm pixel pitch) driven by Brompton processing for broadcast- and cinema-grade image fidelity
  • Camera tracking with Mo-Sys StarTracker for accurate real-time parallal
  • Unreal Engine and Disguise workflows operated by experienced VP crew
  • Full supervision - a dedicated VP Supervisor on set from pre-production through wrap

We handle everything. Your production just turns up and shoots.

Why virtual production in the North East?

The North East screen sector is growing fast with more high-end TV, film and commercial work landing in the region every year.

What the region has lacked until now is local access to LED volume technology. CUBE StudioX closes that gap. Instead of adding travel days, accommodation and haulage to shoot on a fixed stage in London or Leeds, North East productions can now bring the volume to a local studio, warehouse or location - cutting cost, carbon and complexity.

Virtual production is particularly powerful for:

  • Commercials and branded content - shoot multiple "locations" in a single day on one stage
  • Automotive - in-car dialogue and process shots with photoreal moving backgrounds, no low-loaders or road closures
  • Drama and film - environments that would be impossible, expensive or weather-dependent to shoot for real
  • Corporate and broadcast - dynamic virtual sets that elevate interview and presenter-led content

Backed by a proven studio network

CUBE StudioX operates LED volume stages and virtual production facilities across the UK and internationally:

  • RD Studios, (London) - our flagship location: 45,000ft²+ with flexible CUBE Studio-built LED walls from 10×4m up to 35×5m
  • Windsor - dedicated VP stage in partnership with Windsor College
  • Mount Pleasant & Dock Street (Central & East London) - city-centre stages for commercials and content
  • Bristol - The Studio Barn and the Floating Harbour studios
  • Norwich - FocalPoint studio serving East Anglia
  • Dubai & Riyadh - mobile deployment across the Middle East

Every mobile deployment in Newcastle and Gateshead draws on the same equipment, workflows and crew that run these stages daily. You get established, production-proven virtual production - delivered locally.

Full production services

Virtual production is more than a wall. CUBE Studio provides everything you need for a sucessful production:

  • VP supervision and consultancy - from feasibility and budgeting through shoot day
  • Virtual art department - Unreal Engine environment creation, optimisation and pre-viz
  • Content sourcing and licensing - plates, HDRIs and stock environments when a full build isn't needed
  • Crew - LED technicians, Disguise and Unreal operators, tracking specialists
  • Camera and lighting packages - through our studio network and local partners

How much does virtual production cost in Newcastle?

It depends on wall size, shoot duration and content requirements. A compact mobile volume for a single-day commercial shoot starts significantly lower than most productions expect and often costs less than the travel, accommodation and location fees it replaces. Contact us with your brief and we'll quote within 24 hours.

What space do we need to host a mobile LED volume?

For smaller walls (around 5×3m), a space of roughly 12×7m with 4m+ ceiling height works well. Larger configurations need more depth for camera throw and lighting. We'll advise on suitable venues in the North East, or assess a space you already have.

How far in advance do we need to book?

For standard configurations, 1–2 weeks is usually enough. Larger builds or bespoke Unreal environments benefit from 4–6 weeks of lead time for pre-production and content development.

What productions is virtual production right for?

Commercials, automotive, branded content, drama, music videos, corporate films and broadcast inserts all benefit. If your shoot involves multiple locations, travel-heavy backgrounds, weather risk or in-vehicle scenes, virtual production will almost certainly save time and money.
