Pre-Visualisation / Stunt-Visualisation

Pre-Visualisation (Pre-Vis) is the process of planning a production prior to shooting or final animation.  It is an animated version of a storyboard.

Stunt-Visualisation (Stunt-Vis) is the process of planning stunts and action sequences prior to shooting or final animation.

We provide Pre-Vis & Stunt-Vis for feature films, television show, and commercial / industrial projects.

  • Location Scouting
  • Character / Performance Animation
  • Motion Capture
  • Camera Layout / Virtual Cameras
  • Lighting
  • Editing, Pace & Timing

Tech-Visualisation

Technical-Visualisation (Tech-Vis) is the process of transitioning from Pre-Vis into practical shooting.  It is the testing and evaluation phase that derives that data required for production.

  • Camera Platform Assessment
  • Motion Control Analysis and Data Generation
  • Flight Simulators and Motion Base Analysis and Data Generation
  • Location Layout
  • Logistics
  • Stunt

Real-Time On-Set Rendering

Our real time camera tracking system was originally developed on projects such as Harry Potter and Angels And Demons.  It enables any camera to be tracked indoors or outside to extremely high accuracy in real time. 3D CGI composited live & FBX export.

  • Virtual Sets & Environments
  • Eye-Line Matching & Correction
  • Ultra Low Latency Real Time Systems
  • Character & Creature Interactions
  • Camera Tracking
  • Object Tracking
  • Performance / Motion Capture
  • Optional Motion Control Integration

Motion Control

Motion Control fully dynamic rig simulation and solving. Plan shots in advance knowing whether they will run on the real rig in advance. Position, speed, acceleration testing on all rigs.

  • Accurately Matched to Real World Rigs
  • Universal Motion Control Solver (any rig)
  • Real World Calibration & Alignment
  • Specialised On-Set Tools for Rapid Adjustments
  • High Speed Solving Across Multiple Systems
  • Virtual Sets & Environments
