Why an LED wall is a game-changer for cosplay
Cosplay demands detail. Fabric texture, wig color, makeup, and props must look true to the character. A high-brightness LED wall provides a photoreal background that casts the right reflections and color onto the subject, so what you see on set is what you get in camera. No green-spill cleanup, fewer compositing hours, and more time to pose and perform.
How we rebuilt the game world in studio
For this session, the team referenced Arknights visual motifs and re-created the scene on our LED wall. We used:
- A curved 7 m wide by 4 m high LED backdrop for immersive perspective and depth
- Soft key lighting plus practical highlights from the wall to keep skin tones clean
- Quick scene switches to move from beauty close-ups to performance shots without changing locations
The result is a cohesive set of images that feel like screenshots from the game while staying flattering and editorial.

Frequently asked questions
Can I bring my own backgrounds
Yes. You can supply plates or we can help you select and adapt scenes for parallax and color harmony.
Do I still need heavy VFX after shooting
Usually not. Because lighting and reflections are captured in camera, many teams finish with standard color work.
How many looks can we do in one session
Most teams capture three to five looks in a half-day by switching backgrounds, lighting ratios, and camera angles.
Is the space suitable for video as well as photos
Absolutely. Many productions combine stills and motion in the same booking to maximize value.
