EFFICIENCY

An expert in LED walls for virtual production.

Where clarity meets control—and every detail works in your favor.

At Forge Virtual Studios, producers gain more than access to cutting-edge LED walls for virtual production—they gain a partner built for efficiency. Our team understands real production pressure: tight timelines, complex logistics, and clients who expect flawless results. From pre-vis to shoot day, every workflow is designed to move faster, stay predictable, and give producers the creative control traditional sets can’t match.

4 Tools That Keep Productions Moving

Every detail inside Forge was designed to remove friction for producers. From our J-shaped LED wall to dual-stage flexibility, each feature helps you plan faster, shoot smarter, and stay in control. It’s virtual production built for real-world efficiency—right here in Chicago.

The Wild Wall

Get reflections right—every time. Our movable “wild wall” gives producers precise lighting and reflection control for cars, glass, and glossy product shots. Adjust in real time to match the scene without rebuilding sets or losing the day’s momentum.

J-Shaped LED Volume

Film more looks in less time. Forge’s curved LED wall delivers multiple angles and environments in one setup, letting you move seamlessly between scenes. Capture more content per day—no resets, no overtime.

Lighting Grid & Ceiling

Lighting that keeps up with you. Our motorized grid is pre-rigged with Aputure fixtures synced to the LED wall for speed and precision. Change the mood, time of day, or look in seconds, not hours—perfect for commercial and branded shoots.

Dual Studios

Prep in one. Shoot in the other. Forge’s dual-stage layout gives producers flexibility and predictability. While one team captures a scene, another can pre-light or reset next door—keeping every production day running smoothly.

Two Virtual Production Studios. One Seamless Day.

Forge’s dual-studio setup was built for producers who need control, speed, and creative flexibility. Book both Studio A and Studio B to run parallel shoots, pre-light scenes, or reset without stopping the clock. Capture twice the content in a single day, keep your video production on time, and wrap without the word “overtime” ever entering the conversation.

When schedules tighten, our two stages can work together to keep the crew’s momentum high and stress low. Predictability, efficiency, and creative consistency — all under one roof.

Explore the floor plan to see how Studio A and Studio B work together to keep your shoot on track.
