Hot Spots: Dark Slope Set To Expand Toronto’s Virtual Production Capabilities
Dark Slope has launched a new 35,000 square feet virtual production studio in Toronto, which includes two soundstages and an LED volume that sits at 75 feet wide in circumference and 16.5 feet high, making it one of the largest LED volumes in North America.
That said, there are some bright spots in the advancements of technology – particularly in virtual production – that are increasingly opening up new creative possibilities to help producers find cost-effective ways to do more with their budgets. “This funding will enable us to expand our capabilities and accelerate our growth, particularly in the virtual production space where we see tremendous opportunity to both service the industry and develop original properties,” says Dark Slope Executive Chair Khanna.
