Precision in Performance – Our Cinematic Mocap Journey

At Apple Arts Studios, we recently wrapped a 7-day cinematic motion capture shoot featuring full-body, finger, and facial performance capture powered by our Vicon Vero 2.2 motion capture system. From rehearsals to real-time Unreal Engine previsualization, every phase was executed with precision, planning, and passion.

Over the course of this shoot:

• We rehearsed with 14+ actors from PB Casting over 2 days before beginning capture
• Delivered real-time previsualization using Unreal Engine with over 20 MetaHuman characters
• Captured full facial animation with 5 facial rigs running in parallel
• Ensured daily shot reviews with client sign-offs to maintain clarity and quality
• Concluded with a smooth post-process-ready data handover

Our team’s commitment ensured zero system breakdowns or technical delays. This was Apple Arts Studios' first major cinematic mocap schedule after upgrading to the Vicon system—executed without compromise.
