Shanghai Film Academy Unveils New VP Studio Powered by AOTO

Shanghai, China — August 22, 2025 — Shanghai Film Academy has officially opened its new LED virtual production studio, featuring a curved 23-by-7-meter RM2.3S LED volume engineered and supplied by AOTO. The 161-square-meter installation marks a meaningful expansion of the Academy’s production training capabilities and underscores AOTO’s growing footprint in education-driven virtual production environments worldwide.

The new studio reflects the Academy’s push to integrate production technology directly into its curriculum, giving students access to the same workflows used across today’s film, television, and commercial production sectors. Built around real-time rendering and in-camera VFX techniques, the LED environment enables a true “what you see is what you get” approach—allowing students to learn through hands-on creative practice rather than relying solely on traditional green-screen processes.

By working inside a fully functioning LED volume, students gain practical experience in virtual art direction, lighting, camera operation, motion tracking, and on-set visualization. The setup supports an end-to-end production workflow that links classroom instruction with industry-standard methodology, offering a clearer pathway between academic training and real-world production environments. For the Academy, the studio also represents a strategic step toward modernizing its film education model and strengthening the integration of research, teaching, and practice.

The collaboration with Shanghai Film Academy builds on AOTO’s broader work in academic virtual production. Similar LED stages have been established at institutions such as Beijing Film Academy and Hubei University of Technology, helping bring XR and VP capabilities into structured film and media programs. Internationally, AOTO has supported universities including Solent University, Warwick Business School, Rose Bruford College, LAMDA University, Abertay University, and DeSales University, where LED stages are increasingly used not only for filmmaking but also for performance, interactive media, and multidisciplinary research.

Across these installations, AOTO’s LED technology plays a central role in helping institutions create modern, production-oriented learning environments that mirror professional filmmaking conditions. With over 100 LED virtual production stages deployed globally—including projects for leading technology companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, Meta, and Tencent—AOTO continues to support the adoption of virtual production as a core component of digital content creation and education.

The launch of the Shanghai Film Academy virtual production studio underscores how institutions worldwide are preparing students for the next generation of storytelling. As LED-based workflows become foundational to both the entertainment industry and digital media education, AOTO remains committed to empowering schools and creators with reliable, production-ready visual technology.
