Unlock the Extraordinary

Northern Gateway Films loves taking our projects to the next level through tools like Virtual Production with our XR Volume LED wall, In-House MOCAP (Motion Capture) and 3D technology. These capabilities allow us to unlock the extraordinary in not only our narrative films but also in live event productions, Gateway Partner Media brand videos, and more. 

Virtual Production

In our state-of-the-art production studio, we house our XR Volume LED wall which can be used to combine computer-generated environments with physical sets, allowing for dynamic, in-camera visual effects and greater creative flexibility during filming.
