LUME Studios FAQ: Inside the Space, the System, and How We Actually Work

Dotan always says the best way to understand what we do at LUME Studios is to come in and see the space for yourself. But before you do, here are the real answers to the questions we get asked most.

The Walkthrough

What does a walkthrough at LUME actually look like?

When you come in, we take you through every aspect of the space in sequence. You enter through the storefront entrance and immediately see the marquee. From there we show you the immersive system running, explain how it operates, walk you through the different studios and their functionality across all five levels, and finish by taking you up to the fourth floor to experience the private kitchen and dining area.

Photos and videos genuinely do not do justice to what it feels like to be inside the space when the system is running. Every client we have ever brought in has had the same reaction: their eyes light up the moment they step into the immersive room.

The Immersive System

What makes the LUME system different from other venues that claim 360-degree projection?

What makes our system special is that we found a way to combine and map together 16 projectors, lighting, sound, and equipment to work in tandem as a single unified environment. This is an extremely complex system built from scratch since 2016. For a detailed technical breakdown of what separates real immersive systems from marketing claims, read our post on why most venues that claim 360-degree projection are misleading you.

What consistently surprises people when they see the system running?

Most clients come in having seen projection mapping in videos and assume they know what to expect. What surprises even technically sophisticated visitors is the scale and coherence of the full environment live. Every surface responds. The audio, lighting, and visuals are programmed to work together as one system.

Brand Assets

What format do you need brand assets in?

We can accept MOV, MP4, JPEG, PNG, and most standard formats. We can build immersive environments from almost anything — even from just a brief with no assets at all.

The Agency Side

Is LUME Studios just a venue?

No. We are a full-service agency. We can take a client from concept to ideation, venue sourcing, vendor sourcing, production elements, lighting, sound, photo and video production. Learn more about our full range of services.
