AirWall™ · AirPanel™ · Cinemattex™

Big green screens. Rigged in hours, not days.

Inflatable green and blue screens up to 40 ft high, waterproof screens that shoot in the rain, foam screens and a crew who stay from site survey to wrap. One call does all of it.

02 / WHY INFLATABLE

No truss. No bracing. No week of pre-rig.

The AirWall replaces a scaffold and truss build-out with inflated sections that go up in less than half the time, come down without waste, and go up again on the next show.

03 / HOW A HIRE WORKS

One call, then we handle the rest.

Brief

Call or send the form with the location, dates, the size and colour you need and what the shot has to do.

Site inspection

We look at ground, access, power and wind exposure, and agree the build: static on containers, lorry-mounted, or AirPanel.

Install and inflate

The screens and crew arrive together. The wall inflates in a fraction of the time a truss build takes.

Shoot, then strike

Crew on hand for shooting days. When you wrap, the wall comes down with nothing thrown away.

04 / THE TECHNOLOGY

Built on an Academy Award-winning system.

The AirWall was engineered by Aircover Inflatables of British Columbia, Canada. Airscreens VFX Solutions holds the licence for the system and has hired it to productions since 2015.

To David McIntosh, Steve Smith, Mike Branham and Michael Kirilenko for the engineering and development of the Aircover Inflatables Airwall: a modular inflatable panel system that can be rapidly erected on location at hundreds of feet in length, enabling large-scale composite shots when used with blue or green screens.

07 / QUESTIONS

What productions ask first.

How high can the AirWall go?

Each section inflates to 24 ft. Mounted on one 8 ft container the top of the screen sits at 32 ft; on two containers, 40 ft. No additional bracing is needed at either height.

How long can the wall be?

Sections are 40 ft long and join end to end, so the wall can run to whatever length the set design needs.

Can the screen move during the day?

Yes. The AirWall can be mounted on a 40 ft container lorry as a mobile green screen, and the 40 × 24 ft AirPanel rotates through 360 degrees with angular movement for overhead placement.

What happens if it rains?

Cinemattex™ is fully waterproof with a UV-stabilised matte finish. It does not fade in sun or change colour when wet, it can be cleaned, walked on and driven over, and it can be used underwater, including in chlorinated pools.

What sizes of indoor foam screen do you hold?

Digi green, chroma green, digi blue, chroma blue and grey foam from 8 × 8 ft up to 60 × 30 ft, plus black drapes, with bespoke sizes on request. See the size list.

Have you worked on a show like mine?

Probably. Airscreens screens have been on Star Wars, Marvel and DC features, Jurassic World, Pirates of the Caribbean, Disney live-action and Amazon and Netflix series. See the credits.
