Large green screen studio completed with the latest technology
Just 1 hour from London
Box Bear’s green screen studio is a 35 square metre, soundproofed, infinity cove and is available for dry hire or with lighting/ cameras/ crew depending on your requirements.
Black and white full-length curtains and floor roll can be used to change the space to black box/ white box as required.
Our soundstage is suitable for TV, film and online productions, pre-recorded content and live broadcast streaming.
The resin flooring is hard-wearing too, so feel free to film that dance troupe and drive in your electric car!
And our new Volumetric Capture Rig allows you to get your human performances straight into VR.
Located in Crowthorne, Berkshire, we’re just 1 hour from London, with easy access from the M3, M4, M25, Heathrow and Gatwick Airports, and mainline train connections from Waterloo and Paddington.
