PXO Opens New Virtual Production Powerhouse in Vancouver

PIXOMONDO (PXO), the award-winning virtual production and VFX powerhouse behind House of the Dragon, The Boys, and Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, has officially launched its newest LED Volume in Vancouver. Purpose-built from the ground up by PXO Clara—PXO’s specialized LED Volume division—this cutting-edge facility is designed to push the boundaries of what’s possible in virtual production, offering filmmakers a highly adaptable, future-forward environment for premium storytelling.

The new stage combines the muscle of Sony Electronics’ next-gen VERONA LED panels with PXO’s proprietary tools to give filmmakers a hyper-flexible, near-instantly adjustable virtual playground. The LED ceiling is mounted on a gantry system, enabling rapid lighting transitions, from a softbot array to an interactive, reflection-accurate source, in just minutes. Two mobile wild walls, engineered with a precision ground-hover system, allow for quick and nearly effortless repositioning.

The stage also features PXO AKIRA, a groundbreaking vehicle-processing ecosystem that redefines how driving scenes are captured. PXO AKIRA includes a motion platform with unlimited yaw, independent suspension, and a robotic camera crane synchronized with the LED wall to ensure a seamless blend of 3D elements and 2D content.

Rounding out the system is a digital twin software suite, offering full previsualization, real-time stage control, and centralized management bridging the gap between pre-production planning and on-set execution.

Jonny Slow, CEO of PXO said, “This configuration offers filmmakers unparalleled flexibility and realism in virtual production environments. It is an awesome showcase for what is possible to achieve by combining the best of Sony Electronics with PXO, and the fact that we have been able to build it in British Columbia is testament to the quality of crews and locations.”

Christopher Cox, Head of PXO Clara added, “With PXO LED Volumes currently operating in the US, Canada, Australia and beyond, we’re scaling our virtual production footprint around the world empowering filmmakers to bring bold ideas to screen faster, smarter, and with fewer creative compromises.”

The Volume opens May 26, 2025, and it’s ready for business—from sci-fi epics to sleek car commercials. For studios considering their next shoot, it might be time to look west—to Vancouver. With PXO’s cutting-edge technology, the future of filmmaking is already in the room.
