Rapid spatial scanning, cinema-grade digital twins, and strict local IP data protection.

Rapid spatial scanning, cinema-grade digital twins, and strict local IP data protection.

District Cinema transforms real-world spaces into interactive, photorealistic digital environments, from quick 10-minute spatial scans during early location scouting to highly detailed digital sets for Final Pixel work. Film production data is highly sensitive, so 100% of our scanning, data handling, and model reconstruction is processed locally on secure, air-gapped hardware. Your pre-release set designs, location choices, and confidential IP never touch public cloud processing queues or unvetted third-party servers.

Previs Scan Quality
Optimized for Planning & Risk Mitigation
Traditional scouting relies on hundreds of static 2D photos scattered across cloud drives: no spatial context, no exact measurements, no depth. Our PreVis workflow replaces them with fully navigable, photorealistic 3D environments captured in 10 to 30 minutes per location at centimeter-level accuracy, viewable on any device through Terra.

Remote Virtual Scouting

Directors, DPs, and above-the-line personnel explore locations across the globe without leaving the production office, eliminating unnecessary travel expenses.

Art Department Measurements

Art directors and set decorators pull accurate spatial measurements directly inside the model to plan set builds, wall placements, and prop positioning.

Logistics & Safety Planning

Unit managers calculate basecamp footprints, measure gate clearances, and verify power access and truck parking, while safety advisors conduct virtual walkthroughs to identify hazards and plan emergency routes before crews ever set foot on site.

04

Set Preservation & Digital Archiving

When a physical set is scheduled for strike, a high-fidelity scan digitally archives every square inch, eliminating physical storage fees, preserving exact prop placements and paint tones for multi-season continuity, and letting pickups happen on a green screen or LED stage months later with absolute visual continuity.

Cinema-Grade Digital Twins

When your project demands sub-centimeter accuracy and assets clean enough to project onto an LED Volume or drop into a VFX pipeline, we deploy our Final Pixel capture array: SLAM LiDAR, BIM-grade terrestrial LiDAR, DSLR photogrammetry, and drones. Our in-house Virtual Art Department delivers cleaned 3DGS splats, high-poly meshes, normal maps, and Unreal-ready assets for ICVFX, reshoot safety, art-department continuity, and IP monetization.

Crew Enablement & Backend Support

We empower your crew rather than making them dependent on external operators. Targeted training sessions and recommended capture kits let your internal location teams scan environments themselves, while our Virtual Art Department handles backend processing, data cleanup, file conversion, and delivery.

3DGS

What is Gaussian Splatting?

Unlike traditional polygon meshes wrapped in flat textures, 3D Gaussian Splatting represents a scene with millions of translucent 3D splats, accurately capturing reflections, glass, fine foliage, and thin geometry that break traditional photogrammetry, while streaming smoothly in a standard web browser without heavy GPU hardware or lengthy downloads.
