ZFX has one of the largest permanent indoor rehearsal studios in North America. ZFX’s newly renovated “dojo,” now with a 32′ x 160′ green screen!

Our “Dojo” provides the ability to test stage or film flying scenes for your production. You can then view the flying live or via email, saving hours of rehearsal time on location. Even if you have an unfinished vision, ZFX can mock-up your idea before you incur huge expenses and then provide you with a proof of concept video.

When not on location, our creative team brainstorms daily in the Dojo making them the most highly trained in the industry.
