In this little vignette Evil Eye Pictures wanted to create a holiday greeting using our FUTURE.STAGE technology.

We went from the stage at Astro, with Harper Tramm suited up, all the way to sharing on our social channels in less than 6 hours. That 6 hours included the performance capture, look dev, art creation and implementation in Unreal. Amazing.

Other fun facts: we used Adobe's AI generating Firefly to create a wintery psych using the key words "Snowy mountain background panoramic image with trees and camera close to ground tilt shift". With a little added snow particles, a prop tree, and a little holiday magic – presto!

Have you ever tried doing a live virtual performance capture with complete strangers from three different mocap stages around the world? Well, let me tell you, it’s a wild and fun ride. FUTURE.STAGE recently had the pleasure of bringing together Patrick Pennefather in Vancouver BC, Nino Mancuso in Pasadena, and Ashton Solecki in Santa Monica for a live and virtual performance capture session.

FUTURE.STAGE was used in an episode of "noun • learning, inside out". noun creates content with students, for students.

In this episode, kids interview FUTURE.STAGE' Project Manager, Aaron Rhodes. "It was fun to be interviewed, but amazing to use our software while doing so!" said Aaron.

The Secret Hideout, Pasadena's biggest little mocap stage, used FUTURE.STAGE to capture Brendan Bradley in an impromptu collab performance session with fabulous mocap director America Young. America was directing from a remote location where she could monitor facial performance, watch and record the body retargeted in her own Unreal Engine scene, and communicate remotely with the stage and performer.

Watch the power of FUTURE.STAGE in action when two dancers, in two different cities, dance in Unreal Engine together - in real time! Using an iPhone to capture facial expressions and voice. And a motion capture suit to record the body, these two disparate locations merge into one – seamlessly.

FUTURE.STAGE was at SIGGRAPH's Real-Time Live where we showcased and demonstrated our product in front of a live audience. This event was a chance to compete with the latest and most advanced interactive projects in real-time.

We were ranked in the top three for the Audience Choice awards!
