#technoprops

At Apple Arts Studios, we always enjoy trying new ideas and experimenting with technology. Recently, we brought a new Head-Mounted Capture system into our studio. With this setup, we can capture actors’ expressions and movements in a much more natural way.

Usually, a camera records the actor from the front. But with this system, the camera moves along with the performer. Because of that, every reaction an actor gives — whether it’s a smile, a shout, a surprise, or an emotional moment — gets captured very clearly.

Capturing Real Expressions

The most interesting part of this system is that it captures real human expressions. Even small facial movements are recorded. Things like eyebrow movements, eye reactions, and subtle facial changes play a big role in storytelling.

These small details help characters feel more realistic and alive.

Every Movement Matters

While testing this system in our studio, we captured many interesting performances. Whether someone was doing intense acting, giving a funny reaction, or expressing something dramatic, the camera captured every movement smoothly.

Sometimes, the best ideas come when we try something new — and that’s exactly what’s happening right now at Apple Arts Studios.

As performance capture continues to evolve, Apple Arts Studios remains focused on adopting the best tools available worldwide.

We have officially integrated Technoprops stereo HMC facial capture systems into our production pipeline — the same facial capture technology trusted on major global productions, including Avatar.

We’ve upgraded our facial capture pipeline with Technoprops stereo HMC systems, bringing global-standard facial performance capture to our studio.

Apple Arts Studios stands ready with global-standard tools, proven workflows, and experienced teams.

Creating believable digital characters today is no longer just about animation—it’s about capturing real human emotion. From films to gaming and VFX, the demand for high-quality facial motion capture and digital human motion capture is growing rapidly.

At Apple Arts Studios, known as one of the largest motion capture studio in India, we recently explored this through a live demonstration using Technoprops facial capture with stereo Head Mounted Cameras (HMC).

Capturing Real Expressions in Real Time

In this demo, a performer delivered dialogue in Hindi while wearing a Technoprops HMC system. Every subtle movement—lip sync, eye motion, and micro-expressions—was captured and translated into a digital character.

This is where performance capture becomes powerful. It’s not just tracking movement, but preserving the original performance for:

Motion capture for films 

Motion capture for VFX 

Motion capture for gaming 

Cinematic motion capture and animation

The result feels natural because it is natural—driven by real human performance.

Apple Arts Studios is building India’s ultimate performance capture hub. From AAA game cinematics to photorealistic film, we’re delivering animation-ready soul

Digital character fidelity is no longer just about high-poly meshes; it’s about the truth of the performance. At Apple Arts Studios, we have officially integrated the Technoprops Stereo HMC to ensure every nuance is preserved from the stage to the screen.

1.Cinematic Data Acquisition

At the heart of our workflow is "Cinematic Capture." Using dual-camera stereo vision, we don't just record the surface; we record the volume and depth of the actor's facial performance. This setup ensures that we capture the soul of the character in every frame.

2. High-Fidelity Performance Rigs

We prioritize the synergy between "Real Faces" and high-end hardware. Our specialized HMC rigs are designed for stability and precision, allowing our performers at Apple Arts Studios to deliver powerful emotions without technical limitations.

3. Tracking Every Micro-Expression

The phrase "Every movement recorded" is our benchmark. From the subtle twitch of a lip to the intense gaze of a protagonist, our stereo sensors track 3D coordinates in real-time, providing a dense data cloud that minimizes post-production artifacts.

4. Stress-Testing the Limits

True performance often happens in extremes. Whether it’s a battle cry or a moment of pure terror, our technology maintains tracking integrity under high-intensity movements, ensuring that the raw energy of the actor is never lost.

5. From Raw to Real: The Final Result

The journey from "Raw to Real" is where our expertise shines. By mapping high-precision HMC data onto MetaHuman and custom character rigs, Apple Arts Studios delivers AAA-grade facial animation that stands on par with global standards.
