“The studio lot is an inspiring mix of classic Hollywood and modern
technology. We share a passion for shooting talent and bringing stories to
life, and we have also contributed to the development of the HCS permanent
green screen stages. This new alliance takes our relationship deeper, matching
our creative and execution capabilities with Hollywood Center Studios’ premiere
offerings, all for the benefit of our clients.”

HCS has added motion capture to its largest green screen
facility, Stage 12, which, according to Schmit, “provides the hardware
front-end required for the some of the more serious VFX production we
specialize in.” But not all Engine Room/Hollywood Center Studio shoots are
focused on technology, many productions are straight talent and/or product
shoots that involve interior studio sets.
