Titanic Studios Description
Comprising the original Paint Hall studio and two new purpose-built sound stages, the Hurst and MacQuitty stages, which form the new extension.
The Paint Hall was used from July-October 2007 by Walden Media and Playtone Productions for the children’s fantasy sci-fi adventure film City of Ember and by Universal Pictures from July-November 2009 for the medieval comedy Your Highness.
Currently home to Seasons 1-5 of HBO’s Game of Thrones from 2010-15.
Containing four 16, 000ft² “cells” which are set out in a square and connected by an internal road and streets, each cell is 90ft tall and has one 3ft thick external “wall” that is actually a 75ft (23m) tall door. None of the cell ceilings is external and the building is “double-skinned” thereby reducing noise pollution.
The facility also offers a suite of offices, toilets, five dedicated workshops, a “green room” and has its own internal electrical substation which provides 110v, 240v and 3 phase power to the whole building.
The new Hurst and MacQuitty stages, first used in 2012 for Season 3 of Game of Thrones, provide a total of 42, 000 sq ft of additional studio space.
The stages, which incorporate high performance acoustic fabric, high-level walkways and rigging gantries with power, lighting and internal environment options to suit the full spectrum of film production uses, may be used as separate 21, 000 sq ft entities, fully sound-proofed to allow filming in one stage while construction can continue in the other.
