At Apple Arts Studios, our commitment to excellence in motion capture drives every project. With advanced tracking systems, a dedicated team, and a passion for digital storytelling, we ensure every performance is accurately captured and transformed into animation.
Dressing for Performance: Motion Capture Suits and Setup
Actors wear specially designed suits, embedded with motion tracking markers, ensuring their movements are captured with high precision.
Scene Briefing: Preparing for the Shoot
Before stepping onto the stage, our experts guide actors through scene visualization, physical movement strategies, and animation objectives.
A Team Effort: Technical Crew and Performers in Sync
Our Mocap TDs, Unreal TDs, and technical team work closely with actors to optimize the environment, check marker placements, and finalize calibrations.
Baseline Calibration: T-Pose Setup
Actors perform the T-pose, a vital step for registering accurate motion data and establishing character proportions in digital animation.
Final Scene Setup: Ensuring Precision Capture
Before capturing begins, our team refines lighting, tracking, and sensor alignments to maintain clean motion data tracking.
Recording Every Movement in High Detail
Using our OptiTrack Prime X22 cameras, we track full-body movements in real-time, capturing every performance detail for seamless animation integration.
Overhead Tracking: Ensuring Spatial Accuracy
By leveraging aerial tracking perspectives, we verify actors stay within the defined capture area for optimal tracking performance.
Vcam Technology: Real-Time Animation Visualization
Our virtual camera system allows for immediate playback, ensuring directors and animators can monitor the scene as it unfolds.
Refining the Captured Performance
Actors repeat key movements to perfect character animation accuracy, ensuring post-production data is as seamless as possible.
Facial Capture for Enhanced Animation
Expressions play a vital role in digital storytelling. Our facial motion tracking systems capture micro-expressions, smiles, frowns, and subtle movements.
Live Monitoring for Motion Data Accuracy
Our team conducts real-time motion analysis, ensuring the final animation meets the highest production standards.
Capturing Facial Details with Precision
For hyper-realistic digital characters, our head-mounted facial tracking systems ensure flawless data transfer from real performances to animated creations.
Celebrating a Successful Shoot
With another motion capture session completed, we acknowledge the dedication and skill of our team in executing high-quality animation data capture.
Motion Data Processing: Refining the Final Output
After the shoot, our post-processing specialists refine, clean, and optimize motion data, ensuring seamless integration into animation and VFX pipelines.
