Centroid (Pinewood Studios) & Lighthouse (Brighton)

Motion Capture Lab - Open for Applications

Lighthouse presents an exciting opportunity for filmmakers to learn about motion capture and explore the creative possibilities this cutting-edge technology offers. Working with Centroid, a leading motion capture and character animation studio, the Lab will provide high-quality craft and technical training, as well as valuable contacts and networking opportunities.

Lighthouse is delighted to be working in partnership with Centroid, one of the UK’s leading motion capture and character animation studios, to offer this intensive 3-day training programme. The Motion Capture Lab offers high-quality craft and technical training for film professionals and practitioners, and is a valuable opportunity for participants to gain new contacts within the field of motion capture and character animation.

Long perceived as a visual effects tool used only in big budget films and video games, the use of motion capture is now becoming more affordable and accessible, offering filmmakers exciting new creative possibilities and enabling them to bring vivid imaginative worlds and fantastical characters to the screen.

The Lab will take place in Centroid’s state-of-the-art facilities, located at Pinewood Studios, and at Lighthouse in Brighton. Training will be delivered through practical hands-on workshops, demonstrations, specialist tutorials, case-studies, screenings and master classes. All sessions will be led by experienced trainers and experts who are active themselves within the field of motion capture production.
