Upperland Studio (Richmond, BC) is built for speed. Most clients who rent our stage for two hours comfortably capture 5–10 distinct looks. Highly experienced teams who arrive with a tight shot list routinely push to 15–20 looks. The reason is simple: an LED wall workflow that lets you switch environments in minutes, plus on-site support included so your crew can focus on performance and camera.
What you can capture in a 2-hour session
- 5–10 looks for typical teams (music video beats, product setups, interviews, fashion mini-sets, vertical hooks).
- 15–20 looks for seasoned crews with pre-built backgrounds and a disciplined shot list.
- Pickup shots for campaigns that need extra coverage (social cutdowns, alternates, thumbnails, BTS bumps).
Setups in 3–5 minutes — really
Most looks are ready to roll after 3–5 minutes:
- Load or switch LED wall content (plates, gradients, graphics).
- Tweak lighting for mood and skin tone.
- Confirm frame, white balance, and exposure.
- Roll.
Because you’re not moving locations or rebuilding sets, resets are short and momentum stays high.
On-site support is included (no surprise fees)
Your booking comes with a dedicated Studio Manager who will:
- Guide lighting choices (key/fill ratios, reflections, color consistency).
- Assist camera basics (framing checks, WB, exposure targets, quick lens tests).
- Run the LED wall (how to play media, loop plates, tempo-sync simple looks).
- Help with basic workflow coaching so your first hour is productive, not experimental.
This is built into the rate. You’re not left alone in a dark room; you have a knowledgeable partner who keeps things moving.
Easy to learn, easy to love
If you’ve never filmed with an LED wall, you’ll pick it up fast:
- Visual feedback is instant. What you see is what you get—no keying surprises later.
- Talent performs better. They see the world they’re “in,” not a blank backdrop.
- Directors & DPs level up. Virtual production is now a core skill; mastering it early saves time and budget on future shoots.
Why this saves money and upgrades quality
- No company moves. All your “locations” live on the wall.
- Fewer variables. Weather, traffic, and permits don’t derail the day.
- Consistent lighting. Fabric, makeup, and product textures render cleanly.
- Faster approvals. Clients sign off on the monitor—fewer revisions in post.
Who gets the most out of our stage
- Music video directors & artists needing multiple vibes in one block.
- Advertising & brand teams producing product demos, hero shots, and social variations.
- Fashion / beauty creators shooting editorial masters + vertical reels in one sitting.
- Podcast / interview shows that want pro polish and quick turnarounds.
- Indie filmmakers & short-form creators stacking scenes without company moves.
How to arrive “camera-ready”
- Bring media for the LED wall on USB/SSD/HDMI (plates, brand colors, gradients, loops).
- Prepare a shot list with target frames (16:9 and 9:16 if needed).
- Decide lighting mood per look (soft glam, crisp commercial, moody contrast).
- Block talent beats and wardrobe sequence to reduce changes.
Sample 2-hour flow (simple, efficient)

Why directors and cinematographers should learn LED walls now
Virtual production is fast becoming standard craft. The sooner your team adopts LED wall techniques—foreground practicals, parallax awareness, lighting integration—the more competitive you’ll be on schedule-tight, multi-deliverable projects. It’s not just a specialty tool; it’s a modern way to control time, cost, and image quality.
