Animatrik recently helped deliver the metal mutant near and dear to our hearts – Deadpool 2’s Colossus. Performance capture for the character packed quite a punch. 

At Animatrik, we know Reese best for delivering sensational stunt work and soldier-style motion data in production for hard-hitting video game franchises. 

We sat down with Greg Mitchell to talk about his journey into cinematic storytelling and motion capture for Microsoft’s popular Gears of War franchise.

Animatrik’s camera tracking, motion capture suit and simulcam technology enabled complicated and realistic on-set performances from the orc performers in Warcraft.

Animatrik camera tracking technology ensured that Mowgli could interact with synthetic jungle environments and animals in a totally convincing manner.

Before the VFX process even began, the intricate fight scenes needed to be meticulously planned with the film’s stunt team, pre-visualization studio The Third Floor, and Animatrik’s performance capture system.

When you’re dispatching enemy ‘Swarm’ with an array of weapons in Gears of War 4, just remember that many of the character moves were enabled Animatrik’s mocap technology. 

The supervillain Steppenwolf never stepped foot on set, but instead was pieced together from motion capture shoots over a six-day period by Animatrik.
