For Netflix’s Motorvalley, Luno Studios leveraged virtual production to recreate high-speed car chases and racing sequences within a three-screen LED environment surrounding the picture vehicle. By bringing dynamic driving backgrounds onto the volume stage, the production was able to capture complex automotive scenes with greater control, efficiency, and flexibility.
Powering the playback pipeline were Comino liquid-cooled servers, which handled multiple streams of high-resolution media, including demanding 8K footage. Their performance and stability ensured flawless playback of bandwidth-intensive content, allowing the virtual environments to keep pace with the speed and precision required by the production.
Equally important was Comino’s liquid-cooling architecture. The servers' near-silent operation allowed the brain bar to be positioned close to the shooting area, reducing infrastructure complexity and shortening cable runs without introducing unwanted noise on set. The result was a more streamlined and efficient working environment, precisely where it mattered most.
Drawing on years of experience in virtual production, VFX, and on-set operations, Luno Studios has worked closely with Comino to help shape systems that address the practical realities of film production. From reliability and acoustics to deployment and day-to-day usability, the goal has always been the same: build machines that solve real problems for real crews.
That philosophy was evident throughout Motorvalley. Thanks to Comino’s purpose-built, no-nonsense design, the systems could be deployed, configured, and integrated into the production pipeline with remarkable speed, minimizing setup time and allowing the team to focus on creative execution rather than technical overhead.
On set, where schedules are measured in minutes and every delay carries a cost, the best production technology, when designed with filmmakers in mind, simply enables crews to deliver their best work faster.
Motorvalley demonstrates the commitment shared by Comino and Luno Studios to building practical, purpose-driven solutions for the realities of modern filmmaking.
