The Evolution of Advanced Connectivity for the Virtual Production Stage

Production tax credits, incentivizing new builds of production stages, are booming. Currently there are just under 500 stages in LA alone (up from 400 in 2019) and over 1200 nationally, according to Film LA. Meanwhile, as much as 20% of filming budgets are consumed by Visual effects (VFX), and by 2028 the Virtual Production market alone will grow to $4.73B, per analyst firm Research and Markets.

As a result, significant advances are occurring within the infrastructure of the traditional production and virtual production stage.
