Our Manchester production facilities comprise of three amazing studios; our infinity cove studio is widely regarded as the best infinity cove in the northwest. It’s a large, clean, bright studio with an infinity curve meaning anything placed in front of it appears to be floating in space.
Green screen productions a speciality
The studio is used in green screen chroma key FX work. Coupling the infinity cove with the green screen makes the space the most adaptable studio; a space to craft your vison. Whether it’s short or long form content you’ll find a home with us.

We can use blackout curtains to transform the studio to black. There are options to repaint the cove too to white, blue, or any colour you need.
The cove is the heart of our studio. The space is perfect for large-scale shoots like filming multiple people or big products. It’s mused for corporate productions, TV productions, music video and film. It’s also ideal for live streaming productions and using virtual sets.
