When you step into 100 Sutton Studios in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, you’re entering a 15,000 sq ft creative powerhouse. Our space is designed to elevate your production with cutting-edge technology and versatile stages. The game-changer? Unreal Engine virtual production. This technology transforms how you create, shoot, and finalize projects. It’s not just about visuals; it’s about control, speed, and immersive storytelling.


Our studios include multiple pre-lit cycloramas with RGB lighting, a dedicated greenscreen stage, a large daylight stage, production support areas, and a screening theater. This setup is perfect for filmmakers, DPs, photographers, ad agencies, and brand teams looking to push boundaries. Here’s how Unreal Engine virtual production can revolutionize your next project.


Unlocking Potential with Unreal Engine Virtual Production


Unreal Engine virtual production blends real-time 3D rendering with live-action filming. This means you can see your digital environments and effects on set as you shoot. No more waiting for post-production to visualize your vision. At 100 Sutton Studios, our stages are optimized for this workflow.


Our cyclorama studios come pre-lit with customizable RGB lighting. This allows seamless integration of virtual backgrounds rendered by Unreal Engine. The greenscreen studio is perfect for chroma keying, while the daylight stage offers natural light for hybrid shoots. Production teams can monitor and adjust scenes in real time, speeding up decision-making and reducing costly reshoots.


Key benefits include:


  • Real-time visualization of virtual sets and effects

  • Enhanced collaboration between directors, DPs, and VFX teams

  • Faster turnaround from shoot to final product

  • Greater creative flexibility on set

Is Unreal Engine 5 killing games?


Unreal Engine 5 is a powerhouse for game development, but its impact goes beyond gaming. Some worry it might overshadow traditional game engines or saturate the market. However, its real-time rendering capabilities have opened new doors for filmmakers and content creators.


At 100 Sutton Studios, we leverage Unreal Engine 5’s advanced features to create immersive virtual environments for film and advertising. The technology’s ability to handle complex lighting, textures, and physics in real time means productions can achieve cinematic quality without the usual delays.


Rather than killing games, Unreal Engine 5 is expanding the creative ecosystem. It bridges the gap between gaming, film, and live production, offering tools that serve multiple industries. This convergence benefits everyone, especially those working in hybrid media projects.

Practical Tips for Maximizing Virtual Production with Unreal Engine


To get the most out of virtual production, preparation and understanding of the technology are key. Here are actionable recommendations:


  1. Plan your virtual environments early: Collaborate with your VFX and Unreal Engine teams during pre-production. This ensures the digital assets are ready and optimized for real-time rendering.

  2. Use our RGB lighting to match virtual scenes: Adjust lighting on set to complement the virtual backgrounds. This reduces post-production fixes and enhances realism.

  3. Leverage real-time feedback: Use the screening theater to review takes immediately. This helps catch issues early and keeps the project on schedule.

  4. Train your crew: Familiarize your camera operators and directors with Unreal Engine’s interface and capabilities. This improves communication and efficiency on set.

  5. Integrate production support spaces: Use our dedicated rooms for VFX and editorial teams to work alongside the shoot. This tight integration speeds up workflows and creative decisions.


By following these steps, you’ll reduce downtime, improve quality, and deliver projects faster.

In Buckshot Roulette, I reached a situation where my original plan no longer made sense. I had to let it go and make a fresh decision based on what was actually happening.
