Garden Studios turns driving shots into a reconfigurable LED “car rig”

Virtual production is increasingly judged less by “wow” backgrounds and more by throughput: how fast you can get clean, repeatable shots that don’t blow the day. Driving scenes are a perfect wedge—traditionally expensive, weather-dependent, and continuity-heavy—so a stage that prioritizes reflections, lighting realism, and quick reconfiguration becomes a direct cost and risk reducer for HETV and features. For streamers and studios under margin pressure, this is the next VP meme: LED volumes as industrialized unit-production infrastructure, not experimental tech. Garden’s mention of co-investment also signals studios competing on financing, not just floor space.
