Virtual Production

Here is how this works in practice. Spain's virtual production capacity is an emerging hybrid offering. The country's mature strength runs through greenscreen feature work at Ciudad de la Luz Alicante (5,580m² cyclorama + 4-million-litre underwater filming tank). Mediapro Studios Sant Joan Despí (Money Heist home stage), Pinewood Iberia. Eyeworks Madrid, Picasso Studios and Bambú Producciones. With El Ranchito Madrid + Barcelona VFX integration (Emmy-winning Game of Thrones + Stranger Things composites).

Here is the short of it. For heavier LED-driven ICVFX work we recommend a hybrid pipeline combining Spanish greenscreen + exterior-plate capture with cross-border LED-stage time at Pinewood Studios London (the Mandalorian-equivalent LED stage capacity). Stage One + Plateau Virtuel Paris Bry-sur-Marne. Or Babelsberg Berlin's DARK BAY (the largest LED stage in Europe). Mediapro Sant Joan Despí has an emerging LED stage with 270-degree curve and ceiling cap that handles smaller ICVFX commercial and TV-drama work. Supported by The Mill Spain + Twin Pines + Crater Studio VFX teams running Unreal Engine 5 + nDisplay multi-PC rendering pipelines.

Here is the breakdown. Engagements start with a feasibility call to set whether the project actually gains from LED stage capture or whether greenscreen + El Ranchito VFX integration is the better fit given Spanish budget and bench depth. Most Spanish-shooting features still leverage greenscreen + VFX rather than LED stage. Game of Thrones (the Sevilla Alcázar Dorne, Almería Slaver's Bay, Bilbao Dragonstone). Pirates of the Caribbean, Indiana Jones Dial of Destiny. Star Wars Attack of the Clones. Solo Star Wars Story, Wonder Woman 1984, Black Crab. In the Heart of the Sea.

Here is what that looks like on the ground. Spider-Man Far From Home Madrid sequences. Vicky Cristina Barcelona and Money Heist all worked greenscreen-first. When LED is the right answer we set up cross-border with Pinewood London, Bry-sur-Marne Paris or Babelsberg Berlin. With Spanish exterior plate capture (Almería desert, Canary Islands volcanic terrain, Alhambra/Alcázar/Mezquita heritage interiors, Galicia Atlantic coast) feeding back to the partner stage. The 25-30% national rebates + Canary Islands 50% rebates still applies to the Spanish-shot portions. Bilingual ES/EN VFX oversight is standard, Catalan + Basque + Galician + Valencian regional ease on the wider bench. NAV-equivalent ATA carnet through AEAT clears imported LED gear cleanly.
