We can create more array configurations for specific VFX needs. Email lewis@wonderfilmpictures.com with the 360 rig brief.

Yes. We can create post-shoot deliverables from the array footage to match the requirements of the VFX vendor.
Our setup includes live playback rather than live stitching. Playback is streamed through a Teradek Bolt 6 1500 so all cameras on the array can be viewed without overlap.

We serve Reading, Slough, Maidenhead, Windsor, Wokingham, and surrounding towns along the M4 corridor. VFX Array rigs and VFX Ball reference kits are ideal for shoots requiring HDRI lighting capture, clean plate photography, and digital environment reference — especially useful for virtual production prep or CG-heavy workflows. Productions based west of London often choose this region for its accessibility to both countryside and controlled locations. The area benefits from proximity to key studios such as Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath. We also provide wireless video systems, camera kits, lens packages, and grip equipment for productions of all scales working in and around Berkshire and West London.
