VFX Array Rig Hire for East London Stages
We cover East London including Hackney, Stratford, Leyton, Victoria Park, Canning Town, Barking and Dagenham, across the E, IG and RM postcode areas. We supply camera packages, lenses, wireless video and grip equipment as part of a complete kit package.
East London now holds the largest concentration of new stage space in the capital. Eastbrook Studios in Dagenham opened in 2025 with twelve purpose-built soundstages across a 21.5-acre campus, and 3 Mills Studios in Bow continues to run nine stages and over 75,000 square feet of filming space. Between them they have hosted high-end drama, features and returning series.
New stages mean new demand for the data that surrounds a shoot. Productions building CG extensions, replacing skies or set-extending beyond a stage wall need HDRI lighting capture, clean plates and environment reference gathered on location, not reconstructed afterwards. Our VFX Array rigs and VFX Ball kits cover exactly that.
The RED KOMODO-X VFX Array records 15K stitched plates across a 160° field of view with 27.9% overlap, which suits set extension, digital environment work and virtual production backplates. The chrome and grey reference balls capture on-set lighting data, and the ZEISS CP.3 XD lenses supply extended data for distortion mapping and undistortion, so material arrives at the vendor usable.
East London also gives contrasting exteriors within a short radius. The Olympic Park and the Docks provide contemporary and industrial backdrops, Hackney and Victoria Park cover street and park work, and the Thames frontage east of the city carries real scale. Most of this is location shooting, so kit needs to be compact and quick to deploy — our array arrives as a turnkey build ready to shoot in under thirty minutes, with Teradek Bolt 6 wireless monitoring and lens control at up to 1500 feet.
