Fivefold Studios offers studio space and offices that span over 12,000ft2, allowing it to host indie projects through to large-scale blockbusters.
The facility’s LED volume allows for real-time capture of visual effects. Additionally, the studio boasts Europe’s largest fixed green screen cove, spanning 5,000ft2 and measuring 33ft in height.
Fivefold will also provide training programmes in partnership with Media Cymru to equip the next generation of production specialists with skills to help maintain Wales as a global production hub.
