Performance Meets Precision – Behind the Scenes of Our 7-Day Mocap Shoot
Apple Arts Studios
At Apple Arts Studios, we believe cinematic storytelling begins with precise performance capture. Our recent 7-day shoot marked a milestone in scale and execution—featuring full body, facial, and finger tracking using our upgraded Vicon Vero 2.2 system and Unreal Engine live previsualization.
