Virtual Production

Small Town, Big Story

Christina Hendricks and Paddy Considine in Small Town, Big Story, a Sky Original series filmed using virtual production at Ashford Studios, Ireland.
  • Client: Playground Entertainment
  • Location: Ashford Studios, Wicklow

Filmed in Ireland, this Sky Original series is a warm and witty but dramatic comedy, written and directed by Chris O’Dowd.

We were delighted to provide VP driving process services for the series, for Playground Entertainment.

Starring Christina Hendricks, Paddy Considine, Eileen Walsh and Chris O’ Dowd; Wendy Patterson (Hendricks), a local girl who found success as a TV producer in Los Angeles, returns to Drumbán after over 20 years, having left under something of a cloud.

Utilising our own ROE LED panels and Brompton processing, we provided a complete turnkey solution with playback from our Disguise VX4, and onsite grading and screen control by STBS DIT and OuterLimits, via Pomfort Livegrade.
Plate content was shot, graded and stitched by our colleagues at OuterLimits Post, preprogrammed and previsualised in the High Res previs suite, providing a seamless solution from plate capture to on-set capture!
