Project Overview

Nightsky Studios approached SUUM Studio with the challenge of showcasing their world-class studio facilities and virtual production services in a way that could engage prospective clients online, across a variety of technical and creative backgrounds.

SUUM Studio delivered a suite of six bespoke 3D interactive models, optimised for web and mobile, and embedded directly into their website experience.

“Working with SUUM studio to create interactive 3D models of our virtual production facilities was a fantastic experience. Their attention to detail, creative approach, and technical expertise helped us capture the essence of our space in a way that’s both functional and visually engaging.

The final Modelate outputs not only enhance how we present our studio to clients but also opens new possibilities for virtual tours and remote engagement, we had over 800 views in the first week of using them.

We’re excited to see how this technology supports the future of immersive production and would highly recommend Modelate to any organisation looking to enhance how they showcase their space online."

- Lewis Simister, Director, Nightsky Studios
