Less than a year after an LED volume wall was introduced to the film world in Saskatchewan, the equipment is making its exit from the province.
Volume Global is the company that built the LED volume wall. The company arrived and 2022 and the LED volume wall was introduced in March of 2024 and operated out of the John Hopkins Regina Soundstage.
According to a post in a group on Facebook by one of the owners, the company will be leaving Saskatchewan after the two films lined up for 2025 are complete.
An LED volume wall is a piece of equipment that combines digital cinematography, LED volumes, game engines, and processing platforms. The volume wall currently in Regina is a 28-foot by 85-foot installation, making it North America's second largest LED wall.
The films #VanLife and Hostile Takeover used the $12.5 million piece of equipment for their productions. Saskatchewan’s expanded grant system had invested $3.3 million into Hostile Takeover, with the government estimating economic spinoffs to generate approximately $14 million.
In a response to Volume Global’s announcement, the Saskatchewan Media Production Industry Association (SMPIA) said while that they are sorry to see the company go, they have made an economic impact on their time here.
“Since they arrived in 2022, Volume Global has produced two films, which employed 323 people and generated $32.5 million in economic impact. We look forward to their next two projects happening in Saskatchewan as well,” their statement read.
