VIRTUAL PRODUCTION
Virtual Production — LED Volume, In-Camera VFX & Beyond
Thailand's hybrid virtual production studio — LED volume stage, real-time rendering, Lumia camera tracking, and a full technical crew ready to support any production format.
What Is Virtual Production?
Virtual production replaces the traditional green screen compositing workflow with real-time LED backgrounds displayed on a large curved LED wall — called an LED volume — while the camera rolls. The background is physically present on set: it reflects onto actors, vehicles, and props, and responds to the camera in real time. The result is a final-pixel image captured in-camera rather than assembled in post.
A camera tracking system feeds live position data to a real-time rendering engine, which adjusts the perspective of the virtual environment as the camera moves. The background behaves like a physical location. Directors, cinematographers, and actors work in a real environment — not against a blank green wall — which fundamentally changes the creative dynamic on set.
The technology has been adopted by major film and television productions globally, and is now accessible to productions across Southeast Asia through Thailand's first dedicated hybrid virtual production stage — the Unsystem and Unformat studio partnership in Bangkok.

Unsystem × Unformat
The virtual production studio is a partnership between Unsystem and Unformat — Thailand's first purpose-built hybrid production facility combining world-class studio infrastructure with deep creative technology expertise. Unformat provides the physical stage and production facilities. Unsystem provides the technical infrastructure: LED system design, media server architecture, real-time rendering pipelines, and on-set crew.
Productions that previously required travelling to established VP facilities in Los Angeles, London, or Sydney can now be built and run in Bangkok at the same technical standard. The studio is available for long-term and project-by-project bookings.

Common Questions
What is virtual production and how does it work?
Virtual production is a filmmaking technique that replaces traditional green screen compositing with real-time LED backgrounds rendered during the shoot. A large curved LED wall — called an LED volume — displays photorealistic environments generated by a real-time rendering engine. Because the background is physically present on set, it reflects naturally onto actors, vehicles, and props, creating in-camera realism that is difficult or impossible to achieve in post-production compositing. Camera tracking systems like Lumia feed live camera position data to the rendering engine, which adjusts the parallax perspective in real time so the virtual background moves correctly as the camera moves. The result is a final image that often requires little to no compositing in post.
How does virtual production compare to green screen in terms of cost and quality?
Virtual production typically has a higher on-set cost than traditional green screen, but this is offset by significant savings in post-production. Green screen requires extensive rotoscoping, colour correction, edge treatment, and background compositing — work that can represent 30–60% of total post-production spend on a VFX-heavy production. Virtual production dramatically compresses that workflow because the final-pixel image is captured in-camera. For productions with shorter post-production timelines, talent who prefer real environmental references, or projects requiring naturalistic lighting interactions, virtual production consistently delivers superior results at comparable or lower total production cost.
What types of productions is the virtual production studio suited for?
The studio is configured for the full range of content types that benefit from LED volume production: feature films and episodic television requiring location environments without location logistics, broadcast programmes needing dynamic virtual set design, commercials and brand films that require photorealistic environments, music videos needing elaborate world-building within a tight budget and timeline, and corporate and branded content requiring high-quality visual environments at scale. The studio can also support hybrid configurations — using the LED wall as a practical background element without full in-camera VFX tracking — for productions that need a production-value environment without a complex real-time pipeline.
What camera tracking technology does the studio use?
The studio is equipped with Lumia, Unsystem's in-house camera tracking system. Lumia uses smart environment learning to build a spatial model of the stage automatically — no ground-truth calibration rituals, no tracking markers, no dedicated tracking operators. The compact Lumia unit mounts directly to any cinema camera — ARRI, RED, Sony, Blackmagic — and delivers sub-millisecond tracking latency to the rendering engine. Because Lumia works with any LED wall system and any media server, it integrates seamlessly whether the studio is running the US-Series LED wall with native processing or any other configuration.
How do I book the virtual production studio and what does the process look like?
Bookings begin with a production brief — your script or shot list, estimated shooting days, content requirements, and any specific technical needs. Our team at Unsystem and the studio partners at Unformat conduct a pre-production consultation to scope the system configuration, content pipeline, and crew requirements. For projects requiring custom 3D environments, we work with our content creation partners or can integrate with your existing VFX pipeline. Production prep typically begins 2–4 weeks before the shoot date. Contact us or visit the Unformat studio website to begin the booking process.
