THE
VOID

• The Void is housed within a shooting stage that includes control rooms, rigged walls and ceiling for lights, and 3 phase power.
• It operates on a dedicated production stage with a 8D X 9W X 3H Meter (26 X 29 X 10 Feet) capture volume.
• Motion Capture system is 20 Vicon Vantage V8 cameras that can operate at up to 260fps (frames per second) at a full resolution of 3328 X 2432 pixels.
• Facial Motion capture is delivered via Mark III wireless helmets ( two available ) with Faceware Analyzer and Shephard for capture and session management.
• Stage is currently fitted with a 8 X 3 Meter LED wall with 1.9mm pitch LED’s to support a virtual production stage with simultaneous motion capture synchronisation. The walls are managed by a NovaStar Processor, and the entire system managed through Unreal Engine to synchronise motion capture data with camera and visual assets in real time.

• Data is captured into Shogun, and currently runs a real-time link to Unreal to preview capture and save sessions to disk.
  
• Facility is in an agreement with Epic Games and Vicon to ensure we have up-to-date Unreal and Shogun software in place to support productions.
• Exporting to Maya and Motionbuilder is in place.
• Clean up and edits of data can be batch processed and scripted as required.
• System has been tested with up to four performers (human), and facility has a green screen rigged in place that can be used with the system running motion capture.

For the non-technical, the above is a toybox of industry-grade technology to support your vision. We welcome any director or producer from stage or screen with a vision to integrate performance and story with virtual characters and worlds.
