Dark Slope to Open New Virtual Production Stage in Vancouver (Exclusive)

Dark Slope plans to open a virtual production stage at North Shore Studios in Vancouver in December, adding LED technology to the campus’s existing production facilities. The move follows the closure of Pixomondo’s stages and reflects Dark Slope’s expectation that producers will make greater use of virtual production.

The stage will reuse LED screens, motion-tracking cameras, computing equipment and rigging from former Pixomondo stages in Vancouver and Toronto. Those facilities supported productions including Star Trek television series and The Handmaid’s Tale; Dark Slope has also worked on shows such as Heated Rivalry and The Boys. The company plans to offer consulting to design, build and operate custom LED stages in Canada and internationally.
