BITS & PIECES NEW ENGLAND'S DOOR G LAUNCHES VIRTUAL PRODUCTION STUDIO EAST PROVIDENCE, RI — Door G (www.door-g.com) is a new, independent cre- ative production studio that's leveraging virtual production, emerging AI solutions and agile workflows to create immersive video experiences. The studio offers cre- ative development, virtual production, traditional production and post services, as well as AI consulting and studio rentals. It's home to one of the largest LED virtual production stages in New England, and is available for work with agencies, brands and filmmakers. Door G's J-shaped LED wall measures a massive 56-feet-wide by 14-feet-tall and is powered via a combination of technology from Mo-Sys, INFiLED, Nvidia, Brompton and Unreal Engine. The studio is located just 12 miles from Rhode Island T.F. Green International Airport, and is within driving distance of Boston, New York and Connecticut. Coupled with Rhode Island's tax credit incentives, Door G presents a cost-effective and strategic advantage for the New England production community. "We started Door G not just to leverage emerging technologies, but to do imag- inative storytelling that wasn't possible a few years ago," explains Steve Rosa, CEO of (Add)global, Door G's parent company. "We're going to push boundaries with our partners — filmmakers, brands and agencies — to keep creating new worlds of possibilities in our studio."
