About Scarab Digital
Scarab Digital is an independent Canadian creative technology studio based in Vancouver, working across virtual production, on-set playback and digital design for film and television. Established in 1998, the company combines practical production engineering with motion graphics and real-time environments. Its work also extends to commercial advertising, corporate content and interactive experiences.
The studio developed its screen-production practice around digital elements that serve a scene and respond to performers. These include interactive phones and tablets, vehicle dashboards, medical monitors, surveillance feeds and fictional control systems. Its designers create motion graphics and fantasy user interfaces, while its playback specialists develop the systems and triggers needed to deliver those graphics on camera. This connects screen design with the technical requirements of shooting, from individual handheld props to multi-monitor environments.
Virtual production and real-time environments
Scarab Digital provides in-camera visual effects through LED volumes, camera tracking and real-time environment integration. Its Virtual Art Department builds digital assets and environments, supports pre-lighting and optimizes sets for real-time production. Previsualization and technical visualization help productions explore how digital content, cameras and physical staging will work together.
The company's virtual production offering includes supervision, LED wall configuration, mobile pop-up stages and testing environments. It also advises productions and stage operators on workflow design, infrastructure and LED volume calibration, with crew training available as part of its consulting work.
Playback, equipment and vehicle work
Equipment rental supports the studio's creative and technical services. Its inventory spans period televisions and computer hardware, contemporary displays, projectors and video distribution equipment, giving productions options for both historical settings and modern screen environments.
For vehicle scenes, Scarab Digital offers multi-camera capture, driving plates and synchronized background playback using projection or LED systems. These capabilities connect location photography with controlled studio shooting. Across its services, the studio brings screen content creation, equipment preparation and on-set implementation into a coordinated production workflow.
