Tyler Perry Studios, Synapse unveil plans to launch new Virtual Production facility. Published 3 hours ago The Atlanta VR studio is set to go live by the end of the year ATLANTA - Tyler Perry Studios has announced a multi-year agreement with Synapse Virtual Production to develop and operate a next-generation virtual production facility on its Atlanta studio grounds. Located on the historic 365-acre Tyler Perry Studios campus in Atlanta, which already includes premier sound stages, expansive backlots, standing sets, and production support facilities, the new virtual production-enabled soundstage will provide filmmakers, television producers, and content creators access to state-of-the-art LED volume technology, real-time digital environments, and advanced production workflows that expand creative flexibility, streamline production, and reduce costs while keeping crews at the center of the process. As with all other facilities at Tyler Perry Studios, the Synapse soundstage will be available for third-party usage. By combining modern technology with Tyler Perry Studios' existing production infrastructure, the studio aims to provide a complete, end-to-end production offering. The new soundstage is expected to be operational by the end of 2026. The facility will combine LED volume, advanced camera tracking, and real-time 3D engines such as Unreal Engine with a production-ready operating model designed for real-world schedules and sets. Synapse also utilizes AI-supported tools for look development, asset iteration, and environment capture, helping productions move faster while maintaining creative quality and human oversight. This approach is focused on production-ready execution, consistent on-camera results, and a workflow designed for real sets and real schedules, the two companies reported. Already operating flagship LED volume stages in Los Angeles, with a New York facility set to open next, Synapse offers end-to-end virtual production services spanning concept development, virtual art direction, real-time processes, on-set stage operations, and post-production integration.
