Virtual Production

Virtual production in Peru is an emerging field, not yet a mature sector. The Lima scene is building toward its first permanent LED volumes. Cinesphere is planning the city's first dedicated virtual-production stage. Tondero, the country's largest theatrical and series producer, is exploring LED-volume use for its in-house and commissioned work.

For shoots that need volume capacity now, we route to partner stages in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and Santiago de Chile. These mature LED stages, XR studios and Disguise-equipped operators support global features and tight series work under co-production deals. Peruvian virtual-production supervisors anchor the on-set tech teams, trained through global Unreal Engine and Epic Games fellowships. Brazilian and Chilean operators then fly in for the volume days themselves.

Our coordinators handle the cross-border site booking and the SUNAT short-term-admission forms for any Disguise media servers and tracking kit that travel with the production. They also build out the content pipeline with virtual-art-department crews in Unreal Engine 5. Pre-visualisation, asset creation and stage rehearsal all sit ahead of principal photography. Peruvian heritage reconstructions are common: Inca Cusco interiors, the Nazca lines, Lake Titicaca light at altitude, and Amazon canopy. These rank among the period and natural environments that shoots often commission.

Finishing routes through Lima post houses skilled at folding volume footage into the wider cut. DAFO and the Ministerio de Cultura sign off the production framework. IGV at eighteen per cent applies to qualifying spend. ANACTP terms cover the unit across the schedule on the Peruvian shooting days.
