…in the heart of Melbourne.

Excitement in the air today as we welcomed Hollywood star Liam Neeson to our state-of-the-art virtual production stages, operated by NantStudios @ Docklands Studios Melbourne.
The facility houses two giant LED ‘volume’ screens that display pre-shot footage or digitally created scenes …in the background while actors perform in the foreground.
Media were invited for a sneak peek of how the technology is streamlining production of Neeson’s blockbuster Ice Road 2: Road to the Sky, an adrenaline-packed feature set in the Himalayas.
Posing with his co-stars, Neeson described the stages as ‘amazing’.
