Actors composited into the finished world while you shoot, locked to the real camera move and lens.
Photoreal 3D environments captured from real locations, and a growing library you can shoot in again.
Each take carries what post needs, so editorial and final comp start ahead, not from zero.

Every take keeps what post needs. Picture lock and final comp come sooner, with fewer surprises.
StoryEngine is a Vancouver virtual production studio that puts filmmakers inside the final image while they shoot. We capture real locations as photoreal 3D environments, then composite actors into them live on set, locked to the real camera's move and lens.
Directors and DPs see the finished shot instead of a green wall, and every take carries what it needs to finish in post without starting over. Our founders bring high-end VFX craft from film and episodic television to a faster, more affordable way of working.
