The World's First 3-in-1 Mobile Solution
The Polymotion Stage truck transforms and expands into a secure and private capture space for all your creative requirements. Our capture solutions can be deployed quickly to wherever your sports stars, presenters, dancers, actors, or production sets are.
How it works
THE CAPTURE – TIME IS MONEY
The state-of-the-art Polymotion Stage is comprised of 106 video cameras, capturing video at either 2k or 4k resolution. The cameras are positioned with 96 around the capture volume facing inwards, and 10 above pointing down. With multi-directional microphones, we can capture spatial audio or reference tracks to be sent to sound design.
If you need static 3D avatars for fashion, marketing or games, then we can easily shoot using our high-resolution cameras already integrated into the stage.

THE OUTPUT
LESS TIME SPENT WITH TALENT
When you shoot in the Polymotion Stage, your project is being managed and created by a specialist team who have worked with some of the biggest companies and names in the world.
The resulting outputs are MP4 (which are small and flexible) and OBJ files meaning they can be used in a variety of traditional media, including broadcast, or 2D video, or in augmented, and virtual reality applications.

Volumetric Images, Videos & Avatars
VOLUMETRIC IMAGES
For an efficient way to produce exciting 2D and 3D renders from the same capture, our circular array of high-resolution cameras provide incredible detail at the press of a button. You can take the raw data and work with your preferred post production team, or we can polish the assets to have them ready to go.

VOLUMETRIC VIDEOS
Volumetric video, like this example, allows you to pause, rotate and get closer to the talent. This exciting format provides you with a 3D video of the performance that can be used augmented into live broadcast, immersive and traditional media formats.
For sports broadcasts, this could create new ways to provide analysis and commentary on performance. For live entertainment, this opens up new creative camera angles to delight your audience. The possibilities are endless.

AVATARS
Our multi-purpose Polymotion stages allow you to quickly capture your talent in static poses. Once captured, their digital models are taken through our avatar pipeline, making them ready to be animated or driven by mocap data, as you can see here.
