Upperland Studio recently hosted violist Thomas Beckman and percussionist JK Plett for a Star Wars–themed performance. Using our LED Wall Volume, we moved from neon-soaked sci-fi cityscapes to deep-space vistas in minutes—no location moves, no weather delays, and lighting that wraps naturally around instruments.

Why an LED wall for performance sessions?
- Cinematic light: the wall emits real, interactive light—beautiful on strings, percussion hardware, and skin tones.
- Fast scene swaps: switch from “rainy cyber city” to “star cruiser cockpit” in seconds, keeping performance energy high.
- Multiple camera angles: our curved volume provides immersive backgrounds for wides, mids, and dynamic sliders without resets.
- Predictable budgets: fewer company moves and consistent lighting mean more music filmed in less time.
The setup
- LED Volume with curved coverage and side panels for depth.
- Soft key + edge lights tailored for viola performance and percussive detail.
- Plates designed for camera-safe refresh and shutter.
- Room to move for sliders, tripods, and handheld—ideal for performance-driven content.
In a single session, the team captured several worlds—neon rain, distant nebulae, and a starship bridge—all while maintaining consistent color and contrast for the edit.

FAQ
Q: What is an LED wall studio and how is it different from greenscreen?
A: An LED wall displays photoreal backgrounds that emit real light and reflections, which helps performances feel more natural and reduces post. Greenscreen requires keying and compositing in post but is great for VFX-heavy work. We offer both.
Q: Can small crews afford LED-wall sessions?
A: Yes. Our packages are designed for small to mid-size teams with predictable setups. Many sessions fit within a single day or half-day.
Q: Do you support Unreal Engine camera tracking?
A: We support Unreal Engine tracking (e.g., VIVE Mars) and camera-safe playback, depending on the creative needs.
Q: Do you help with locations or community performance connections?
A: Beyond production, we often introduce artists to venues and education partners to expand performance and teaching opportunities.
