Green Screen Services

Green screen filming in China runs on one of the deepest studio bases on earth. Hengdian World Studios in Zhejiang is the largest film backlot in the world, with more than 130 sound stages. One of them is a 12,000m² giant that ranks as the largest chroma-key stage on the planet. While Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis adds 40 stages and Asia's largest underwater tank, Wanda Studios Qingdao adds another 50, plus the Shanghai Songjiang Film Industrial Park LED volume for hybrid green-screen and virtual production work.

Chedun Movie Town sits on the Shanghai outskirts, and the Mediaset-equivalent CCTV facilities in Beijing round out the network for fashion, commercials, and Chinese TV drama. Recent shoots anchored major chroma-key sequences across the Hengdian and Qingdao stage network. These include Frant Gwo's Wandering Earth I and II, Wuershan's Creation of the Gods Trilogy, the Tencent-Netflix Three-Body Problem, and Zhang Yimou's The Great Wall with ILM. Portable green screen kits move into warehouse spaces and heritage locations when a shoot needs a chroma-key setup outside the studio system. Each kit brings cyclorama walls, drive-in access, and the soundproofing that feature production demands.

Clean keys depend on even backdrop lighting, careful talent separation, and tight spill control. Our Chinese gaffers bring that skill from the VFX-heavy Wandering Earth franchise, the Creation of the Gods Trilogy, and the Tencent-Netflix Three-Body Problem unit shoots. Lighting packages run flicker-free HMI and tunable LED units from ARRI SkyPanel, Creamsource Vortex, and the Shenzhen-made Aputure Nova and Amaran lines that now lead the Chinese rental market. Colour science is matched to the downstream pipeline, and reference charts are shot at each camera reset.

The on-set work gets specific. Tracking markers, reference photography, and HDRI capture are handled at the plate stage. Footage then flows into the Chinese VFX pipeline at Pixomondo Beijing, Base FX with its Beijing and Los Angeles offices, Digital Domain China, MPC Shanghai, Mindwalk Studios, and Light Chaser Animation for compositing, motion capture, and real-time rendering. NRTA pre-shoot approvals run through our Chinese business entity partner, alongside standard CCNL-equivalent crew booking under the CFA and CFCC framework. The Qingdao 40 per cent rebate and Hengdian incentive scheme apply to qualifying chroma-key spend, billed through the 17 per cent VAT invoicing our Chinese partner handles.
