What ZeroSpace does

ZeroSpace is a Brooklyn-based next-generation virtual production and creative studio founded in 2018 as an award-winning immersive art exhibit and subsequently evolved into a production and incubation operation. The company operates approximately 50,000 sq. ft. of production space across two Brooklyn facilities (588 Baltic Street and 337 Butler Street), comprising four interconnected studios (Studios B, C/Subway Set, D) plus the ICVFX Stage. Its core technical offering integrates LED in-camera visual effects (ABSEN PL2.5 Pro panels driven by Disguise VX4+ media servers and Brompton processing), Vicon motion capture (12 Vicon Vero cameras on a 20'x22' truss grid), photogrammetry (custom Nikon DSLR and Z-Cam 4K arrays with proprietary processing software), Canon-powered volumetric video capture (100+ Cinema EOS 4K cameras), and an in-house Virtual Arts Department producing 3D environments, characters, and assets in Maya, Blender, Houdini, and Unreal Engine.

ZeroSpace monetizes through a quote-based, project-driven model with four primary revenue streams: studio space rental (individual or whole-venue), full-scale production services (content creation, A/V production, live events, set fabrication), immersive installations (fulldome, LED installations, projection mapping, interactive exhibits, both domestic and international), and Virtual Arts Department services. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; clients initiate proposals via contact form. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across Entertainment & Media Companies (Disney, Universal, Warner Bros., Netflix, HBO, A24, CBS, Sony, Framestore, Moment Factory), Global Brands & Agencies (Nike, Adidas, Puma, Dior, Louis Vuitton, Hermès, Bulgari, Apple, Intel, Nvidia, Meta, Ford, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Cadillac, Pepsi, Red Bull, L'Oreal, P&G, Macy's, FedEx), Music (Justin Bieber, Solana), Gaming (Fortnite, Epic Games), and Events. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional funding or ownership structure.

ZeroSpace pursues a partnership-led ecosystem strategy with technology integrations from Canon, Vicon, Disguise, Brompton, and Luma, complemented by an Artist Residency Program (launched 2022) and a community events series. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and consultative, targeting enterprise clients via direct proposals, website content, client logo social proof, and creative community engagement. No information is publicly disclosed regarding revenue, funding rounds, headcount figures, management team beyond a technical director, or board composition.
