Experience agency Journey has acquired the UK-based Dimension Studio which specialising in virtual production for film and episodic TV, animation, location-based entertainment, and live experiences.
Based in London and operating internationally, Dimension has worked with major studios such as Disney, Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV+, and Sony Pictures. As well as its own projects currently in production, the studio’s recent film and TV projects include Those About To Die for Amazon, Masters of the Air for Apple TV+, Robert Zemeckis’ Here, Universal Pictures’ Wicked parts 1 & 2 (pictured), and Taika Waititi’s Time Bandits. The team behind Dimension Live has delivered recent projects for international artists, including Röyksopp and Floating Points, and at major live events, including the Glastonbury Festival.
Journey has been behind immersive storytelling projects including work at the Empire State Building and reimagining opera in The Adventures of Kavalier & Clay.
“This partnership is as much about people as it is about virtual production and technology,” said Simon Windsor, Co-Founder and Co-CEO at Dimension Studio.“Journey’s design-led ethos aligns perfectly with our culture of creative experimentation and production innovation. Together, we can empower clients and visionary creators to tell stories in ways the world has never seen.”
The transaction was supported by private equity firm Growth Catalyst Partners (GCP), which focuses on investments in tech-enabled creative businesses. In addition, Journey entered into a new lending relationship with Eldridge, an asset management and insurance holding company.
