Our expected movie/video projects partner is the post-production studio responsible for CGI in the movie. Our BIS production manager shall cooperate with the special effects designer and production manager to agree on the amount of work necessary and timeframe needed as well as verify the expectations of the client.

The service offer includes:

• the technology of motion capture for realistic movement of CGI 3D characters
• facial motion capture process which records the intricate changes in an actor facial expression
• retargeting of motion: calibrating an actors moves to a CGI character with different body proportions, perhaps super-natural hero(-ine)
• manual editing of motion – finish and tweak captured data manually
• loop captured data – required because of memory limitations of PCs and the joining of different moves.
• 3D scanning – quickly convert 3D objects to CGI models in high detail – both detailed props and large-scale objects for rapid modeling.
• Consultations – implementation hints.

We provide a complete service, starting with transportation from the airport, booking hotels and food catering on location during the shooting days. Our staff is English speaking and our client will always have a specialist on hand available to resolve any problems or needs that may arise. We will always have at least on engineer on location; more are available if needed.
