Trilogy Studios
Imagine being able to shoot a commercial or film at any location you want around the world, without ever leaving the confines of North Texas.
Well, as of this October, this production industry wish has become a reality. The newly opened Trilogy Studios at 5501 Alliance Gateway Freeway just so happens to be that place.
Boasting a 23-foot ceiling height and an expansive width of 157 feet, this new state-of-the-art 19,000 square foot facility provides unparalleled visual opportunities for filmmakers to take advantage of. Trilogy Studios also has two other volume stages that offer a variety of options for filmmakers to do other projects.
One such area is Trilogy Studios’ car processing stage, which is the ideal space to shoot a car commercial in. This space includes moving interior shots along with the digitization of motion that creates the illusion of shooting a commercial outside. This stage also includes a specialized facility that allows car companies to drive directly into the building via a secure loading ramp for added security.
Trilogy Studios also has a Commercial Stage set up for a variety of commercial projects.
“Shooting on a volume stage combines practical sets with digital environments, allowing filmmakers to shoot scenes in dynamic, visually stunning settings without the need for extensive green screens or post-production effects,” a release states. “This innovative approach not only streamlines production but also provides actors with a more engaging and realistic environment to perform in.”

Trilogy Studios’ three stages are equipped with cutting-edge tech from Optic8, which breaks down the barrier of traditional filming logistics, or trying to shoot on location in exotic areas. This means filmmakers can shoot in their desired locales without ever leaving the comfort of the studio.
There’s also a separate 100,000 square foot facility next door, used for a variety of needs for large-scale projects that need dedicated areas for fabrication of set design, large areas for prop storage, wardrobe, and even more production offices and meeting rooms, if needed.
There’s even a versatile third curved LED stage measuring 50 feet wide by 20 feet high, which will help filmmakers streamline the production process.
“As a hub for innovative content creation, the studio offers creatives the flexibility to experiment with new techniques, integrate Unreal Engine environments, and use real-time camera tracking for the perfect shot,” the release continued. “The virtual production stage allows creators to film scenes in different environments—be it a cityscape, desert, ocean, or outer space—without needing to change sets or travel to multiple locations. By doing so, this reduces logistical challenges, offering faster turnaround times, increased cost-efficiency, and greater creative flexibility.”
Trilogy Studios’ is also the first virtual production facility of its kind, not just in DFW, but in the central United States.
"The entertainment landscape is rapidly evolving, and virtual production is at the heart of this transformation," Joe Worth, director at Trilogy Studios says. "We're proud to offer filmmakers a space where their storytelling can transcend the limits of traditional production. Whether you're filming a high-stakes action scene, a serene nature backdrop, or an otherworldly fantasy environment, our stage has the capability to deliver unmatched quality and creativity."
