A Saharan desert. A tropical rainforest. The bustling streets of early 20th century London. Maybe even a interstellar civilization on another planet.
Most of these would require expensive set design and months of construction to make possible. Now, they re available at the click of a mouse and they all could be found in a sound stage just outside downtown Savannah.
On Friday, the Savannah College of Art and Design announced their new XR stage and backlot expansion to the Savannah Film Studios, 2315 Louisville Road. The 10.9 acre project will include a Hollywood-style film backlot, an XR Stage for virtual productions, and indoor soundstages. The stage, which was created in partnership with MEPTIK Studios, will be state-of-the-art and will make Savannah Film Studios the most comprehensive university film studio complex in the country.
