Motion Capture Services in the Mimic Studio, Berlin

Motion Capture Services

Mimic Productions offers world-class motion capture services for film, gaming, and interactive media. Our expertise spans facial motion capture, body mocap, and realtime mocap solutions, delivering high-quality animation for projects of any scale. Whether you need a full motion capture studio in Berlin or mocap services on location, we provide seamless solutions that bring characters to life.

Facial Motion Capture Services

Our founder, former manager of the Facial Motion Capture Department for blockbusters like Avatar, Tin Tin, and Rise of the Planet of the Apes, ensures unparalleled expertise in facial motion capture services. We can capture uniquely subtle movements, as well as highly dynamic expressions, from a simple blink to the complexity of emotive lip sync using advanced motion capture technology.

Our facial mocap services include the use of wireless head-mounted cameras (or HMC), which can be used in conjunction with our optical body motion capture system, enabling us to capture both the body and facial data simultaneously. This system ensures that your actor's full performance is accurately captured in a single moment.

Realtime Facial Motion Capture Services

Do you have a 3D concept that requires realtime facial motion capture, instantly applied to a 3D model? At Mimic Productions, our facial mocap services use the latest motion capture technology and software to deliver precise, lifelike animation in real time.

We guide you through every step of development and provide full support during live events. Whether it’s for AI motion capture, holograms, digital communication, or live projections, our motion capture services ensure your 3D characters perform exactly as envisioned.

Body Motion Capture

Our body motion capture services provide precise tracking of performers’ movements, capturing every nuance and translating it into realistic animation for 3D characters. Whether for film, gaming, or interactive media, our mocap services ensure fluid, natural motion while maintaining accuracy and efficiency throughout the production process.

Optical Body Motion Capture Services

Our body motion capture services simplify the process of recording realistic movement by tracking optical markers on performers and translating this mocap data onto a 3D skeleton. This allows your 3D characters to move with organic, lifelike motion, perfect for film, gaming, or interactive media.

Equipped with a high-fidelity OptiTrack system, our mocap services capture high-speed performances with precision, ideal for sports, action, or dance sequences. Large capture spaces and advanced tracking technology ensure multiple performers can be recorded simultaneously. With our reliable motion capture services, you can focus entirely on the performance while we deliver highly accurate and convincing results every time.
