London-based Garden Studios has unveiled a new virtual production stage featuring a fully motorised LED ceiling using 2.6mm pixel pitch panels from Absen, designed to enable a configurable 360-degree LED volume. The stage is built to support vehicle-based process work, with the company claiming reduced repositioning and faster turnaround through a layout enabling most angles via a single 180-degree rotation. It includes rail- and motor-mounted lighting trusses with pre-wired power/data and supports Unreal Engine-based real-time workflows.
Virtual production is shifting from “cool LED volume” to “factory throughput,” and Garden’s design is explicitly about time saved per setup—especially for car work where resets burn budgets. A ceiling that becomes a wall, moves 18 meters, and pairs with pre-wired, motorised lighting is less a feature list than a bid to standardize fast-turn, repeatable shooting. For streamers and studios under cost pressure, the competitive edge is fewer shoot days and more predictable schedules. The emerging meme: VP stages are becoming configurable machines, not bespoke playgrounds.
