visual content production company Distortion Studios has acquired and fitted out brand new studios in Bristol, the current UNESCO City of Film.
The (200m2) studios will enable producers across all disciplines – television, film, advertising, music, corporate and events – to create original IP using the technology of Virtual Production and Unreal Engine.
This initiative, supported by funding from Creative UK and in partnership with iMAG Displays, will see the first permanent Virtual Production studio in Bristol and the South West. The new studio is run by a creative team, including a group of experienced Unreal Engine Experts and specialists in immersive digital arts.
With veteran studio manager Pete Martin overseeing daily operations, Distortion Studios are decked out with equipment including 11x4m curved LED Volume, Roe Black Pearl 2 V2 LED panels, 2x2x3m wild wall mobile led panels, 2x Stype RedSpy tracking system, Stage Precision, Pixera Media Servers and Brompton processing.
Later this month, Distortion Studios will open its doors to all delegates attending the Creative Cities Convention hosted by Kirsty Wark and taking place in Bristol 23/24 April, offering hands-on demonstrations and explanatory talks to small groups. In addition, Distortion Studios aims to educate and inspire creatives on the many ways the pioneering technique can enhance their new productions and lower their costs by hosting bespoke ‘how to….’ sessions at the studios 25/26 April.
