>About Us
The Motion Capture Studio has been running for over 10 years, and uses a Vicon optical system to deliver a professional experience of motion capture to our students and staff. We use the latest technology to explore cutting edge areas of development such as Virtual Production and Virtual Reality in VFX, Gaming and the Arts.
A key role of our studio is working with commercial clients and UK studios on numerous projects, providing industry relevant experience to our students whilst they study. Our alumni have also gone on to work all over the world in the motion capture industry, in companies such as Vicon, the Imaginarium Studios, Weta Digital, ILM and Rockstar Games.
Where to find us:
The studio is located in the Eldon Building, on the first floor of the East Wing in Room 1.72
