Our creative services

VISUAL EFFECTS

Visual effects are the standard in today's film world. There are few limits left, and many producers and directors are also already proactively using this technology in their productions.
While visual effects often took place as part of the film finish or as practical miniatures in the 80s and 90s, they experienced a wave of digitization at the turn of the millennium. But the graphics capabilities were not yet up to snuff, often resulting in a very synthetic look.
Today, people have rowed back a bit and are working with both traditional and current or forward-looking methods.
3D models are no longer exclusively fully created from scratch, more often based on 3D scans or "kitbash sets." Similarly, while many objects such as vehicles are still animated "by hand," digital characters are either fully or partially driven by motion-capture data.
Our pipeline includes leading software solutions from Autodesk Maya, Epic Games Unreal Engine, Embergen, Marvelous Designer, Realusion Iclone & Character Creator, Adobe Substance as well as Adobe cloud applications.

MOTION CAPTURING / PERFORMANCE CAPTURING

If you want to have naturally believable animation on 3D characters and perhaps have them speak at the same time, there is no getting around motion capturing or performance capturing. Our focus here is specifically lies on main characters. We use a sensor-controlled system from Rokoko, with which we can even record autonomously “on location”. But we can also do a lot on our small stage, such as swimming, flying or riding. And with the help of some props, the actors are able to perform all believable animations for your needs.

VIRTUAL PRODUCTION

Ever since the famous series "The Mandalorian", LED walls and virtual environments have found their way into film production. Using Epic Games software Unreal Engine, a real-time parallax effect is now achieved when tracking the camera while the actors act in front of a huge LED wall system. We have a collaboration with company "rent-Event tec" and their LEDcave, where we can shoot at a curved LED wall with a total measuringof 44m by 7.5m (144ft. x 24ft.) and a soundstage which is also suitable for larger set constructions.
What are the advantages of shooting on an LED stage?
When shooting on an LED stage, you almost have the final image. Sometimes only minor touch-ups are needed. Instead of describing to everyone on set what will be seen later instead of green, everyone already has a view and actors can also interact with it.
The virtual set is customizable at all times, e.g. you want the sun to be slightly higher? Or do you need some extra attachments at the background? For the foreground, you can also use athmospheric effects like haze or fog, what you cannot on a greenscreen set.
