Where today’s creativity meets tomorrow’s technology

At the Advanced Media Production (AMP) Network Studios, we believe the future of media production isn’t just about bigger screens or better effects, it’s about unlocking new ways to tell stories, share knowledge, and create impact.

That’s why Digital Catapult built facilities unlike any other in the UK.

Where, professional-grade studios meet advanced technologies such as 5G, virtual production, XR, and AI. It’s a place where commercial projects gain a competitive edge, researchers turn ideas into applications, and the next generation of talent learns by doing.

Virtual Production
Skills Building

The Skills Building Packages (Starter, Advanced, Mastery) are tiered programmes designed to give individuals, training providers, and creative organisations scalable access to professional virtual production environments, building practical industry-relevant skills without the limits of classroom-only training.

Virtual Production
Shoot Packages

The Virtual Production Scene and Day Shoot Packages (Lite, Pro, Edge) are tiered products designed to give independent creative media production studios, creative media production companies, and enterprise teams flexible, scalable access to advanced virtual production capabilities without the burden of heavy upfront investment.

Advanced Media Production Suite

Beyond Virtual Production, AMP offers a suite of specialist services including Motion Capture, Volumetric Capture, Immersive XR, and Advanced Connectivity testbeds. These facilities give creators, enterprises, and researchers the tools to prototype, experiment, and deliver next-generation experiences at scale.

Our cross-sector expertise is a blend of industry know-how with research depth, bridging commercial and academic worlds.
