The LED wall at Kōawa Studios—the University of Canterbury’s Screen Arts Facility—is the centrepiece of its Virtual Production (VP) Stage, positioning it as a leading hub for creative technology in New Zealand’s South Island. The Kōawa LED wall is a commercial-grade 14m x 4m curved display with a fine 1.9mm pixel pitch. It uses VuePix Infiled DB Virtual Studio Series panels and is driven by Brompton Technology’s Tessera LED video processors, establishing it as an industry-standard setup for cinematic virtual production. This facility allows for live-action capture against real-time, high-quality 3D environments, directly preparing students for professional roles in the screen sector.

This species has becomes know locally as the New Zealand Lions mane. In reality, it should be called the NZ Coral tooth. Pekepeke kiore (also know as Coral tooth, also known as Hericium coralloides, also known as Hericium novae-zealandiae) is an endemic species found in our native forests.

It is a slower growing mushroom, they need to be grown under high humidity at all times, otherwise its tendrils dry out. This species was thought to be identical to Hericium coralloides found overseas, which is also named Coral Tooth. But under further genetic testing, was found to be its own species, or Hericium novae-zealandiae.

There is no evidence Hericium novae-zelandiae contains the same compounds that make Hericium erinaceus such a powerful medicinal fungi. It’s safe to assume it doesn’t, but curious to see what the science says?!? or not?
