“It would be great if the North East had a regional studio that offers virtual production”. Well…..now we do! PROTO is proud and very excited to bring you our brand-new Advanced Media Production studio located in Gateshead! Following recent investment from Digital Catapult, our studio now features a cutting-edge virtual production studio with a large, curved LED wall operated by our technical partners TARGET3D Ltd | The Mechanics Behind Creativity. Virtual production is one of the most important innovations since digital cameras replaced traditional film stock. It is being used for all kinds of content creation and it’s changing production processes forever. We continue to offer additional services which include: PERFORMANCE CAPTURE - Our stage is not only perfect for animation and VFX but also provides innovative tracking solutions for virtual reality, training and simulation, hologram creation and movement sciences. 3D SCANNING - Our state-of-the-art photogrammetry stage is used to scan and capture characters and large items. Our stage uses 120 cameras to shoot 3D images of bodies, faces and heads creating photorealistic digital characters for games, immersive experiences and beyond. IMMERSIVE LAB - Established by Digital Catapult NETV, the Immersive Lab (one of only four in the UK) offers companies access to the very best hardware and innovative software across AR, VR and mixed-reality.
