About Stargate Studios Malta
Stargate Studios Malta is a visual effects, virtual production and full-service film production company based in Malta. Established in March 2012 through a partnership between The Bigger Picture and the Stargate Studios network, it serves film, television, advertising and corporate productions across European, Mediterranean and North American markets.
The studio combines digital effects with live-action production and post-production services. Its visual effects work includes supervision, compositing, CGI, 3D modelling, asset creation and pre-visualisation. These capabilities support projects ranging from contemporary television drama to historical environments, digital set extensions and feature-film effects.
Production and post-production
Virtual production services bring together virtual backlot workflows, real-time Unreal Engine integration and camera tracking. LiDAR scanning and photogrammetry capture architectural and environmental detail for visual effects, virtual production and interactive assets. The company's broader capabilities also include digital cinematography, CG animation and immersive AR/XR experiences.
Its post-production offering spans offline editorial, colour grading, sound editing, sound design, voice-over recording, ADR and 5.1 mixing. Digital lab services connect production and editorial through on-set and near-set dailies, review materials, LTO archiving and secure data transfers. Together, these services allow the studio to support several stages of a production rather than supplying visual effects in isolation.
The company also provides production preparation, logistics, crew sourcing and support with Malta Film Commission rebate administration. Its international work includes on-set supervision and delivery for productions shooting beyond Malta, alongside remote post-production services.
Screen work and wider applications
The studio's portfolio spans international episodic television and feature films, with work involving environment reconstruction, effects integration and digital finishing. Alongside entertainment production, it applies its environment-capture capabilities to cultural heritage documentation and game-engine assets. This combination of production services, post-production infrastructure and digital environment work connects its screen-production business with interactive media and preservation projects.
