VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

  • Toei Tokyo Studios is home to Japan’s only 270-degree curved LED volume stage, offering cutting-edge virtual production capabilities. The system enables shooting unconstrained by weather, season, or time of day, with LED panels that emit light to replicate the natural lighting effects of on-location filming.
  • With these panels, we can capture and project a wide variety of Japanese landscapes, making it possible to recreate locations that would be difficult to film on site.
  • As a permanent fixture within the studio, the stage is seamlessly integrated with our in-house art, set construction, and technical departments—ensuring smooth coordination across all production elements.
  • This advanced setup allows for high-efficiency, high-impact filmmaking that meets the demands of modern storytelling.

BLACK STUDIO

Inside Black Studio, Toei Tokyo Studios features a dedicated Light Stage system—the latest model from the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies. This advanced facial scanning technology captures ultra-high-resolution facial geometry and skin texture, perfect for creating photorealistic digital humans.

Purpose-built for high-end VFX, virtual production, and full-body digital human creation, the studio supports global film, television, and gaming projects, including major Netflix productions.

MOTION CAPTURE STUDIO

  • Our optical motion capture studio is equipped with a 48-camera VICON system and supports both standard and large-scale motion capture productions, with access to Toei’s larger soundstages when required.
  • The studio enables simultaneous body and facial capture, making it ideal for producing highly detailed animation. On-location facial capture is also available, offering flexibility for shoots at external studios, remote locations or even meeting rooms.
  • The studio has been used on projects such as The First Slam Dunk, ONE PIECE FILM GOLD, and Monster Hunter: Wilds, demonstrating its capability for high-end, performance-driven productions.
  • Toei Tokyo Studios can also provide props, set pieces, and experienced stunt teams to support complex action sequences or bespoke performance capture needs.
