MOBILE STUDIOS — AVAILABLE NOW / NATIONWIDE

We capture reality.
You build worlds.

VFX scanning and photogrammetry for feature film and episodic — cyberscanning, digital doubles, and LiDAR set capture. Our studios travel to your production, so scanning never costs you a shooting day.

Your cast never leaves set.
The studio comes to them.

We run a fleet of Mobile CyberSCAN™ Studios and a set of modular arrays we built in house for volumetric and machine-learning work. We own them, we crew them, and they stay on the road. The studio shows up at your stage, your location, or your backlot.

There is one idea behind every number below. An actor’s time belongs to their character, not to our equipment, so we build around how fast they get back to set.

1/60sec: SINGLE CAPTURE; Every camera and strobe fires at once. The actor never has to hold a pose or hold their breath.
1.4sec: FULL OLAT PASS; We capture and separate every lighting direction, start to finish, in under a second and a half.
~60sec: DOOR TO DOOR WITH TALENT; One hero scan, one safety pass, then they walk back to set. A cyberscan fits inside a lighting setup.
150+: CAMERAS PER STUDIO; Synchronized to fire together, so you get one moment instead of a sweep across several.
40+: STROBES PER STUDIO; Individually programmable. We fire them one at a time to get the OLAT data that makes skin relightable.
0: TRANSFER WAIT; You can review the raw frames the second they are shot, and the rig fires again right away. Nobody waits on an offload.
15min: SETUP ON SET; That is how long it takes us to be capture-ready after we arrive, on a stage or in a parking lot.
6: U.S. BASES; LA · LV · NY · NJ · ATL · HOU — and wherever production goes.
0: TRAVEL DAYS FOR CAST; No flights, no per diem, no scan day carved out of the schedule.

OUR STORY

The story is
always the focus.

An audience pulled out of the story by an effect never quite comes back. Everything we shoot on set and everything we build in house is there to keep them in it. That is the whole job.

WHAT WE DO

VFX scanning,
end to end.

VFX scanning on set

Most of our work is VFX scanning during production — the window when a set still exists, the hero costume is still built, and the cast is still on the call sheet. We capture actors, wardrobe, props, vehicles, and standing sets while the show is up, then hand VFX a measurable digital record of what was actually in front of the camera.

On location that means LiDAR set and location scanning for camera tracking, matchmove, layout, and set extension. Locations get struck, permits expire, and weather changes. A scan does not.

VFX photogrammetry

VFX photogrammetry is the other half of the same job. Where LiDAR gives us hard measurement, photogrammetry gives us surface — pore-level skin detail, fabric weave, paint wear, and the color information a modeler needs to believe a material.

We shoot it at every scale: digital doubles from our camera studios, props and vehicles on the day, and full environments from the air with FAA-licensed aerial photogrammetry. Deliverables land as clean geometry and texture, not a pile of raw frames for someone else to solve.

Cyberscanning

Cyberscanning — full-body actor capture for digital doubles — is what our Mobile CyberSCAN™ Studios were built for. A 150+ camera array fires in a single instant, so there is no hold, no drift, and no asking a performer to freeze.

The studio travels to the production rather than the other way around. Talent walks in from set, scans, and walks back out in under a minute. Add photometric and OLAT capture when the shot needs a relightable double that holds up in any lighting environment.

What happens after the scan

Raw capture is not a deliverable. In house we take scan data through retopology, texturing, and render-ready asset builds, and into newer formats when the pipeline calls for them — 3D Gaussian splatting, neural rendering datasets, and 4D volumetric capture of performance rather than pose.

Assets arrive scaled, oriented, and named to your convention, ready for virtual production and LED volume work or a conventional post pipeline. See the full service list or browse selected work.
