Optic8 Partners with NEWTech Prep to Build a State-of-the-Art LED Wall for Virtual Production

Optic8, a leading integrator of immersive experiences and LED volumes, has partnered with NEWTech Prep to provide a state-of-the-art LED wall for virtual production, at the NEWTech high school campus in Spokane. This new installation will allow students to learn the latest virtual production techniques and workflows used in productions of all sizes.

Located within NEWTech Prep’s Digital Media department, the studio features a 14ft wide and 10ft tall LED wall with a full tracking system. Designed to simulate professional virtual production studio environments, the LED wall at NEWTech Prep provides an ideal learning platform for students eager to explore careers in film, television, and live events.

In addition to providing the virtual production equipment, Optic8 collaborated closely with NEWTech Prep’s media department to ensure the students could take part in the installation. Working alongside Optic8’s installation team, NEWTech Prep students performed quality control checks on LED panels, assembled the wall, ran wiring, built the support structure, and calibrated tracking cameras.

The new studio represents a significant investment in the future of innovative, career-focused education for Spokane Schools. The LED virtual production studio at NEWTech Prep will serve as a core component of the media production curriculum, opening doors for students to develop in-demand skills, while creating a roadmap for other like-minded schools to follow.
