An industry-leading production studio has launched at Gateshead digital centre PROTO as part of a £2m investment by Innovate UK.
AMP at PROTO will provide filmmakers and games development firms with access to virtual production and 3D technology. The facility includes a curved LED screen on huge 8x3.5m scale, of the type used in global productions such as Disney’s The Mandalorian and cutting edge virtual production equipment including tracking cameras and a motion capture system.
It is the work of a partnership between growth programme Digital Catapult and consultancy Target3D and aims to fuel the North East's growing reputation as a top film and TV production location. The Gateshead studio is the first of its kind in the region and will be part of a national network.
