As motion capture technology becomes ever more prevalent in the production of a wide range of entertainment media, it is of no surprise that motion capture in video games<\/strong> is fast becoming an industry standard \u2013 and we saw some of the most cutting-edge usage of it this month here at the Altagram studio in Berlin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This month, we welcomed the teams from Mimic Productions and Mad About Pandas to our state-of-the-art recording studio here in our Berlin offices!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mimic Productions<\/a><\/strong> is a leading Berlin-based motion capture \u2013 or mocap, as it is known in the industry \u2013 and 3D character animation studio. Over the years they have worked with some of the biggest figures in sports, music and television, capturing their likenesses for screens big and small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From face mapping to full-body motion capture<\/strong>, they do it all \u2013 and yes, it\u2019s just as cool as you would think!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Founded in 2013 by industry veteran David Bennett \u2013 a man that managed the facial motion capture for films such as Planet of the Apes, Tintin and Avatar \u2013 it\u2019s of no surprise that the company prides itself on the strength of its facial motion capture and animation!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using their wireless Head-Mounted Cameras and innovative facial analysis algorithms<\/strong>, they look to capture every last detail on a subject\u2019s face, replicating the all-important subtleties that truly bring characters to life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were here to work with the folks from Mad About Pandas<\/a><\/strong>, the Berlin-based award-winning games and creative media production studio, collaborating on the forthcoming chapters for their hit mystery adventure game, Hitchhiker (published by Versus Evil<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitchhiker\u2019s first chapter, released in January of 2018, proved a hit with many, garnering rave reviews and a number of awards. Described by one reviewer as \"a purgatorial road trip\u201d<\/a><\/strong>, the game certainly offered players a ride they were unlikely to forget in a hurry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dubbed a \u201cmystery game set along lost highways\u201d \u2013 players find themselves in the role of an unknown, unseen hitchhiker, and are forced to unravel the mystery, and answer questions as basic as: who am I; and where am I going?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the forthcoming chapters set for further release on PC, Mac, consoles, and \u2013 excitingly \u2013 VR, we certainly can\u2019t wait to get our hands on them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s more, we had the cameras rolling the entire time, and captured some behind the scenes footage that gives you a sneak-peek<\/strong> into some of the work that we get up to around here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
