If you’re based in Burnaby or the Metrotown area and searching for an LED wall video studio, you’ve probably noticed something frustrating: there isn’t one in Burnaby. No LED volume stages, no virtual production facilities, nothing with a curved LED wall anywhere in the city. But here’s the good news — Upperland Studio in Richmond is just 15 minutes away, and it’s the closest professional LED wall studio to Burnaby in all of Metro Vancouver.
Whether you’re a content creator filming TikToks, a Metrotown-area business producing marketing videos, or an SFU or BCIT student working on a film project, this guide shows you exactly how to get here and what you’ll find when you arrive.
Why There’s No LED Wall Studio in Burnaby (Yet)
LED wall virtual production is still relatively new in the Vancouver area. The technology requires specialized hardware — high-resolution LED panels configured in a curved volume, real-time rendering engines like Unreal Engine, and camera tracking systems that sync the background perspective to the camera’s position. Setting up a facility like this requires significant investment in both equipment and space.
As a result, most LED wall studios in Metro Vancouver are concentrated in Richmond and parts of Vancouver proper. Burnaby, despite being one of the largest cities in the region, doesn’t have a single LED volume stage. That means Burnaby-based creators and businesses need to travel — and Upperland Studio is the shortest trip you’ll make.
How to Get from Burnaby to Upperland Studio
Our studio is located at 238-13880 Wireless Way, Richmond BC V6V 0A3, right off Highway 99 near the Richmond Auto Mall area. Here are three common routes from different parts of Burnaby:
Route 1: Via Highway 99 (From South Burnaby / Metrotown)
Head south on Boundary Road or Kensington Avenue to connect with Highway 91, then merge onto Highway 99 South. Take the Steveston Highway exit and you’re minutes from our door. Total drive time: approximately 15 minutes depending on traffic.
Route 2: Via Knight Street Bridge (From Central Burnaby)
Take Kingsway west toward Vancouver, then head south on Knight Street and cross the Knight Street Bridge into Richmond. Turn west on Westminster Highway and navigate to Wireless Way. Total drive time: approximately 15–18 minutes.
Route 3: Via Kingsway to Oak Street Bridge
From northern Burnaby, head west on Kingsway through Vancouver, then connect south on Cambie Street to the Oak Street Bridge. Cross into Richmond and head east on Westminster Highway to reach us. Total drive time: approximately 20 minutes.
No matter which route you choose, you’ll spend less time driving than it takes to set up a green screen and fix all the spill in post-production.
What You’ll Find at Upperland Studio
Upperland Studio isn’t just the closest LED wall studio to Burnaby — it’s also one of the most accessible and affordable in Metro Vancouver. Here’s what’s included in every booking:
- 7-metre curved LED wall: A seamless, high-resolution LED volume that wraps around your subject for immersive, realistic backgrounds
- Unreal Engine real-time rendering: Hundreds of virtual environments — cityscapes, nature scenes, branded sets, abstract gradients — all rendered in real time
- Camera tracking system: The LED wall’s perspective shifts with the camera, creating parallax and depth that looks completely natural on screen
- Professional lighting: Studio lighting is included so you can start shooting immediately
- On-site technical support: Our team handles the tech so you can focus on your content
- All-inclusive pricing at $99/hour: No hidden fees, no extra charges for the technology
Compare that to renting a traditional studio, hiring a green screen crew, and paying for post-production compositing. You’ll save both time and money with an LED wall that gives you final-pixel results in-camera.
Who’s Using Upperland Studio from Burnaby?
Content Creators & Influencers
Burnaby is home to a growing community of YouTubers, TikTokers, and Instagram creators. Many are producing content from home setups with limited backgrounds and inconsistent lighting. An LED wall studio gives you cinematic-quality visuals that instantly elevate your brand — and at $99/hour, a single session can produce weeks of content.
Metrotown-Area Businesses
The Metrotown corridor is one of the busiest commercial areas in Metro Vancouver. Businesses here — from retail shops to tech startups to professional services — need video content for social media, websites, and advertising. An LED wall lets you create polished product videos, executive interviews, and brand stories without the cost of location shoots or extensive post-production.
SFU Students & Film Programs
Simon Fraser University’s Burnaby campus has strong programs in film, communications, and interactive arts. Students working on thesis films, short projects, or portfolio pieces can use an LED wall to create scenes that would be impossible on a student budget — sci-fi environments, period pieces, exotic locations — all without leaving Metro Vancouver.
BCIT Students & Media Programs
BCIT’s Burnaby campus offers programs in broadcast, media, and marketing. Whether you’re producing a student project or building a demo reel for job applications, an LED wall session gives your work a professional edge that flat backdrops and green screens simply can’t match.
LED Wall vs. Green Screen: Why Burnaby Creators Are Making the Switch
If you’ve been using a green screen at home or in a rented studio, you know the limitations: colour spill on hair and clothing, flat lighting that doesn’t match the background, hours of keying and compositing in post. An LED wall eliminates all of these problems because the background is physically there, emitting real light that wraps around your subject naturally.
- No green spill: Wear any colour, including green
- Natural reflections: Glasses, watches, and shiny surfaces reflect the actual environment
- Real-time feedback: See your final shot on camera as you film — no guessing
- Faster turnaround: What you capture is what you get. Minimal post-production needed
