VIRTUAL PRODUCTION AT A GLANCE
Why Virtual Production at fivefold
Pre-Production
Fix it in pre. By combining project analysis with fivefold's production simulation hub, we identify challenges early, reducing uncertainty and risk before principal photography begins.
Production
Our solutions are built around flexibility. From creating digital twins of real-world locations, to scalable LED volumes, or integrated performance capture. We match the production challenge with the right technology to solve it.
Post-Production
By bringing VFX decisions into production, VP helps reduce comp-heavy workflows and gives post teams cleaner, more complete assets to finish from. That means stronger decisions on set, fewer unknowns handed to post, and clearer alignment between camera, art department and VFX.

Our Services
Pre-Production
From pitch viz and pre viz through to workflow and pipeline testing, pre-production plays a critical role in setting up a successful Virtual Production shoot.
-
Pitch Viz – Utilising generative AI to produce concept art and storyboards. A cost-effective means to support ideation.
-
Pre Viz – Generating low-cost simulations for project ideation and planning
-
Project Planning – Supporting productions evaluate, cost, time and risk when deciding to use virtual production vs location.
-
Script Breakdown – Providing technical breakdown/analysis and budgeting services to determine the correct approach for your project.
-
Image and Colour Pipeline Validation - Ensuring what is captured on set can be trusted through post, grade and final delivery.
-
Asset Creation
From 2D plates to 3D worlds, fivefold supports the development of the real-time environments needed to deliver a successful ICFX shoot.
-
Digital Twins – from scanning props and sets to real world locations.
-
Virtual location scouting and simulcam for scene blocking.
-
2D and 3D driving plates for simulated travel.
-
Performance capture - Performance capture records timing, weight, intention, and emotional nuance, not just positional data.
-

COLLABORATION
Worked With
"
fivefold studios approached the challenge with clarity and intent, building capability not only to service productions, but to underpin long-term creative and commercial value."
- Steven Knight
Creator of Peaky Blinders
"
Working in a fully controlled VP environment allowed actors to engage directly with vehicles and environments, resulting in stronger performances, faster decisions on set, and a more efficient, cost-effective VFX workflow. Fivefold's commitment and collaborative approach made them an outstanding production partner. "
