August 20 marks Hungary’s most important national holiday, celebrating the founding of the state and a thousand years of national continuity. This year, the occasion felt especially close to us: several key scenes from the official campaign film were brought to life in our studio, including the iconic fireworks display, one of the most emblematic visuals of the national celebrations.

Filming such a sequence under real conditions would have posed major logistical and technical challenges. That’s why we’re especially proud the production team chose our LED volume to recreate this moment. With virtual production, the fireworks could be captured directly in-camera under full creative control, with uncompromised visual fidelity.

With this behind-the-scenes video, we honor the day of our statehood in the way we know best — through cinematic craft, precision, and collaboration.
Happy birthday, Hungary! 🇭🇺

As previously shared, Two Minutes to Midnight wrapped its closing chapter on our LED stage. A fitting finish to a story shaped by time itself. We had just a handful of days to conjure the Mojave Desert, 1960s Los Angeles, and the strange, looping streets of Remedyville. But with the right hands and the right tools, every frame found its place. 🏜️

This wasn’t just another shoot, it was the final chapter of a twelve-year cinematic journey. And we’re proud to have scored it with our craft, our technology, and our team. Now, the voices behind the film – director Balázs Hatvani, lead actor and producer Jim Hanks, and our studio head Zoltán Simon – open up about the filmmaking process, the story’s evolution, and the role of VP in realizing the vision. 🎬

🏁 This weekend brings the 40th Hungarian Grand Prix — a landmark celebration of speed, precision, and pure racing legacy. Meanwhile, F1 fever is racing through cinemas too, with Brad Pitt’s new film bringing the intensity of the grid to the big screen.

But our front-runner isn’t Max Verstappen, Lewis Hamilton, or even Sonny Hayes. He doesn’t need horsepower — just a helmet, a flash of vision, and a little LED stagecraft.

Because anyone can be a champion.
What would you race toward with your imagination? ✨

Six months ago, we opened the doors to our virtual production studio, and since then, a range of feature films, commercials and even TV shows have been shot here, each one proving how professional-grade technology makes a real difference on set. Until now, we haven’t shared much about the technical details. But with our studio’s half-year milestone, it’s the perfect time to show what ARRI accreditation really means in practice — through a short BTS video.

What makes our studio stand out?
✔️ ARRI-certified LED volume for an authentic, cinematic virtual production environment
✔️ ARRI Alexa 35 camera system and Signature Zoom lenses for lifelike, post-ready image quality
✔️ Flexible, quickly configurable studio space that meets international production standards
✔️ Internationally backed workflows and professional support for Hollywood-grade filmmaking

ROE Visual takes a closer look at the LED technology behind our studio — and the collaboration that made it possible. At the heart of our setup: the Black Pearl BP2V2 panels, which became the digital canvas for everything we create. From sci-fi sequences to high-concept action scenes, this precision-built volume gives
directors and DOPs a next-gen toolset: cinematic control, real-time adaptability, and unmatched visual fidelity, all in one space. 🎥

With this technology and team, we’re proud to stand at the forefront of the virtual production revolution.

Virtual production isn’t just for blockbusters. 🎞️
You’ve seen it in epic sci-fi films and big studio dramas, but the same technology can unlock speed, flexibility, and bold visuals for a wide range of formats.

Whether it’s high fashion, a stylized performance piece, or a fast-paced automotive scene — like the one we shot in our studio with Aston Martin Budapest and their new DB12s — VP makes it all possible in one controlled space. We recreated a full-speed ride along the LA coastline using camera tracking technology, complete with palm-lined boulevards and the thrill of a California coastline cruise. ☀️🌴
No permits. No chasing light. Just real-time environments, responsive lighting, and cinematic freedom with every shot. 🎥

Virtual production is no longer the future. It’s a tool for right now, and for any format that thrives on visual storytelling.

How do you land on Mars?
With a camera, a crew, and an LED volume. 🎥🪐

This wasn’t concept art. It was a fully crafted sequence — imagined, lit, and captured on set. What looks like outer space was built just a few meters from the lens, in a virtual production setup where every frame responds in real time.

Step behind the curtain and see how Mars was made! 🎬

A breakthrough in television — where classical music meets cutting-edge technology. The Virtuosos Talent Show 2025 is more than just a spectacular show. It marks a new chapter for televised performance, proving how virtual production can unlock entirely new creative possibilities. 🎬✨

Captured fully in our LED volume, centuries-old compositions were reimagined through striking, visually driven interpretations. The director, producer, and our studio lead share how this creative collaboration unfolded.

The finale aired over multiple weekends — wrapping just last week. Here’s how the vision became reality, note by note, scene by scene.
