verything Your Chicago Production Needs

Chicago is home to some of the country’s biggest advertising agencies and brand headquarters — and now to a local team that puts world-class virtual production within easy reach:

  • LED Volume Stage: Shoot final-pixel, real-time backgrounds on a 58-ft, 1.9mm pixel-pitch LED volume fully integrated with Unreal Engine 5
  • ICVFX Services: Combine live chroma keying with real-time Unreal Engine environments, delivered to any chroma-ready stage in Chicago.
  • Equipment Rental: Motion control robots, cinema cameras, lenses, lighting and grip, delivered directly to your Chicago set with certified operators.
  • Virtual Art Department (VAD): In-house Unreal Engine artists building custom, hyper-realistic environments for your shoot.

Why Chicago Productions Choose SP Studios

Midwest brands and agencies need the same production value as the coasts, without coastal budgets. Our numbers make the case: 1.9mm pixel-pitch resolution, a 58-foot volume that supports 8 location changes in a single day, camera setups as close as 3 feet from the wall, and zero blue/green-screen compositing required in post. SP Studios is trusted by productions filming in Chicago, Los Angeles and Toronto — and because our production base runs on the Canadian dollar, Chicago clients get world-class virtual production at a meaningfully lower cost than comparable US stages.
