fx center babelsberg
FX Center Babelsberg stands on the Studio Babelsberg premises in Potsdam, combining production facilities with Shin Takamatsu’s distinctive architecture. Light fills the central atrium above its cascading stairs.
Four floors contain 3,000 square metres of offices, 2,000 square metres of studios and ancillary space, plus underground parking. Wheelchair access is available throughout the building. Three sound stages serve different production requirements, with stage ten accommodating green, blue, or black molleton surrounds and adjustable ceiling trusses. Stage eleven handles special effects through pyrotechnic ventilation and drainage for filming with water.
Stage twelve houses Volucap, Europe’s first volumetric video capture studio, where 32 cameras reconstruct human bodies in high-resolution 3D. Two cinema auditoriums, conference rooms, and rentable event areas extend the site beyond filming. Its most striking detail remains the light-filled atrium, framed by stairs that cascade through the building.
