Radiant Images

Radiant Images is a Los Angeles digital cinema engineering and virtual production company founded in 2005. It began as a specialized digital cinema rental house and expanded into custom camera systems, volumetric imaging, immersive broadcasting and real-time capture. Its work combines equipment rental, hardware development and technical production support for entertainment and technology applications.

Capture and production capabilities

The company develops and operates systems for volumetric and light field imaging, including modular stages and mobile capture configurations. Its services span stage design, manufacturing, rental and operation, supporting projects that require performances or environments to be captured as navigable three-dimensional imagery. Bullet-time camera arrays and Gaussian splatting workflows extend that work into synchronized action capture and spatial reconstruction.

For virtual production, Radiant Images supplies high-resolution background imagery for LED volumes, including 12K and 16K RAW multi-camera driving plates. Its offering also includes the Movie Plates vehicle-background library, custom camera rigs and on-set real-time camera tracking. Bespoke sensor enclosures, optical packages and rapid prototyping support productions with specialized capture requirements.

Immersive broadcasting is another part of its work. The company engineers low-latency stereoscopic, 180-degree and 360-degree video pipelines, including 8K live streaming and broadcasts over 5G networks. These capabilities serve live sports, entertainment events and space-related productions alongside conventional film and commercial work.

Applications and production work

Radiant Images has contributed capture systems and engineering to projects ranging from Creed III and Need for Speed to immersive NASA programming, the Artemis I launch broadcast and the Formula 1 Las Vegas Grand Prix fan experience. Its work also extends to aerospace, medical and defense training, where immersive imaging supports applications beyond entertainment.

Across these markets, the company combines specialized cinema equipment with custom engineering and capture operations. Its development from a rental business into an imaging technology provider connects practical production requirements with volumetric, virtual production and remote broadcast workflows.
