Established Motion Capture and Virtual Production specialists, the company boasts an ambitious team with honed skills gained in body and facial capture, video game production, 3D animation, commercial and TV, visual effects and entertainment.

The trio are an innovative full-service studio where customers rely on their expertise to transform creative vision into the next reality. So much so, that their portfolio gleams with notable clients and productions the likes of creative music videos In Your Eyes ft.

Multiple in-house projects for partner NEXR and Staramba including the highly successful FC Bayern Munich Virtual Reality experience. Immersive VR security training for Pixaera, and début of their innovative Remote Motion Capture streaming pipeline in collaboration with computer games studio Another Coffee promoting their multi-player online game UMI, plus many more.

Headquartered in Berlin, their 7.9 metre capture volume is kitted with 36 Optitrack Prime 13 cameras, using industry professional technologies Unreal Engine, Unity, Autodesk Maya and MotionBuilder, iPhone and GoPro with Faceware to capture intricate facial expressions.

The adage ‘a rolling stone gathers no moss’ is especially true as OnPoint Studios have sights firmly set on becoming the address in Germany and Europe for Motion Capture and Virtual Production; the team aim to be Germany’s Research Centre for Innovation where they already host MoCap Hang-Out, their popular R&D open-house event showcasing latest projects and cutting-edge techniques in motion capture, virtual reality and 3D scanning at their facilities. Without question this team’s technical prowess and creative ingenuity flows in abundance, mixed with passion and entrepreneurial spirit to deliver every animation project style.
