STUDIO REVOLUTION Netflix’s Altered Carbon was shot at Vancouver’s super- studio, Skydance.
Welcome In a Netflix promotional type of way, the streaming giant is reinventing ‘old Hollywood’. Their latest sci-fi show is Altered Carbon , adapted from a novel and heavily featuring a futuristic streetscape with unlimited light reflection and back projection possibilities; but surely VFX digital extensions are the way to go to reproduce an endless street disappearing into the distance? But a long booking from Netflix to hire a new studio complex called Skydance in Vancouver enabled the production to use their 500-foot-long, 50-foot-high and wide main studio space to house the ‘street’. You’re then able to shoot much of the action in-camera, everywhere you point your camera can be part of the story and if you pan to the ceiling it’s there you can digitally set extend. But Skydance doesn’t want to just offer you a single space; there are also a myriad of spaces to house nearly all the creative and construction disciplines that a big TV series and movie needs, in fact ironically just like the old days in Hollywood. This post-industrial redevelopment (Skydance used to be a printing works) is perhaps the most positive message to come out of this whole TV production revolution.
