They essentially bring the location to Los Angeles. For the production of Wolves, they drove the capture van to Davenport, Iowa, for two days bringing the footage back and the production shot all the scene here, saving a lot of money and not having to bring an entire cast and crew to Davenport. A train set was built on their stage for The Newsroom, projecting their plates for two days. "It was a lot of work with three cameras, wide and tight angles, handheld, with the actors walking around the train," explains Hayk Margaryan. For Curb Your Enthusiasm, they brought a bus onto stage for some driving scenes. Brian Wright describes, "I remember at one point, the effect was so realistic that you could see grips, gaffers, everyone leaning into the turn, but the bus was not moving. It was so interesting to see that." Robert continues, "We've had complete productions shoot their show here, ten episodes in eight days; it's all done indoors. They could not have done it in twenty days outside, apart from heat exhaustion and everything that comes with it." Hayk Margaryan concludes, "You know, it makes it easier for the crew and the cast to be in a controlled environment, to be in an air-conditioned place, have a place to sit, wait until they relight and then just walk back into the vehicle. You don't need to drive, it's safe and a completely controllable situation."
