The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian

Client: MPC / Walt Disney

Category: Film

Other film involvement to date includes 'Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian' the second instalment in the fantasy franchise based on Lewis's bestselling children's novels.
Capturing horses, dwarves and creating half human, half horse 'centaurs' for the great battle scenes was no problem for our motion capture team who took their expertise on location for the week long shoot.

'Prince Caspian proved to be our most complex crowd project to date. One of our big challenges was hybrid creatures which required complex motion editing.
Audiomotion stepped up to the creative task, refining the solution until our client was happy with some truly exciting sequences.'
Adam Valdez - Animation Director, MPC

Britvic: Drench

Client: The Mill

Category: Commercial

Brains is back - with a little help from Audiomotion and post-production company, The Mill.
Performing to the 90's dance anthem 'Rhythm is a Dancer', it's hard to believe that these spectacular moves are not down to Brains' natural rhythmic ability alone but a combination of motion captured dance moves and live action puppeteering blended with 3d animation.

The end result? A truly F.A.B
TV ad for Britvic!

The Golden Compass

Client: MPC / New Line Cinema

Category: Film

One of the biggest challenges for New Line Cinema, the studio behind the Lord of the Rings trilogy, was creating hundreds of characters for the giant battle scenes.

Audiomotion’s motion capture expertise was used to create "digital extras" for the climatic battle scenes and the 'gyptian' crew.

Using a replica of the gyptian ship, using rigging from the Cutty Sark restoration company, stunt men were filmed in combat and the images were replicated hundreds of times.

Winner of Best Visual Effects - 2008 Oscars.

Pepsi Raw

Client: Graphico

Category: Online Animation
Audiomotion was approached by the award winning, creative digital agency, Graphico to help create 30 sec animation to launch the new Pepsi Raw soft drink to be screened all over the country on in bars, live promotional tours, launch parties and online.

A male and female dancer were captured performing an energetic dance sequence and applied to a 3D rig before final treatment of style and effects were added.

10,000 BC

Client: MPC / Warner Bros

Category: Film
An epic adventure with epic special effects, 10,000 BC took two and a half years to make and cost a cool estimated $75million - mainly on the visual effects alone.

To create the huge pyramid scenes, stunt men were motion captured diving off a huge ramp, custom designed and built by our very own Audiomotion hands. And we didn't stop there...

Creating the opening action scenes in which the hero gets caught up in a hunting net and being dragged around by a mammoth was just another days work for the Audiomotion team - and the result is nothing short of spectacular.

Lynx Billions

Client: The Mill

Category: Commercial

Following on with the ‘spray more, get more’ campaign, a new TV commercial shows billions of scantily clad beauties flocking to a beach where a man is wildly spraying himself with the new ‘Click’ deodorant.

Audiomotion’s motion capture expertise was called upon by post-production company The Mill, to capture the raw data of girls running, jumping, jostling with each other, wading and climbing. Contrary to the impression given in the finished ad, just three models were recorded during the session.

Using Massive, armies of girls were created to stream across the various types of terrain.

The final shot posed a particular challenge and was an impressive effect to achieve. The task was tackled by taking the original plate and matching in a matte painting eight times the size of the shot – creating an artificial horizon. The 3D geometry was added and the plate was populated with over 100,000 CG girls.

Fred Claus

Client: MPC / Warner Bros

Category: Film
The filmmakers faced a huge task of creating a realistic North Pole experience complete with hundreds of Santa's elves.

"Santa's Toy Shop was a really huge set and it was an interesting challenge because we wanted to see elves working in every corner of it without overusing CGI," notes Director, David Dobkin.

"It was important to me that the elves be played by real people. It is a movie about the human spirit, so I didn't want to diminish that theme. I wanted each elf to be unique, but grounded in reality.“

The filmmakers found a Russian circus troupe consisting of 32 little people who perfectly fit the bill.

Having access to that many actors, the visual effects team then used motion capture technology to duplicate the actors and render a sufficient number of unique-looking elves to fill most scenes by digitally altering their appearance.
