The Third Floor Taps InterSense Motion Tracking Technology to Support
Film and Gaming Previsualization
(Wireless News Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
InterSense, a developer of precision motion technology, announced that
The Third Floor, a digital studio that offers previsualization for
commercials, feature films and video game cinematics, has expanded its
IS-900 virtual camera motion tracking system to broaden its real-time
previsualization capabilities.
To date, the company said it has used an IS-900 system for two Robert
Zemeckis animated films, "Beowulf" (2007) and "A Christmas Carol"
(2009), as well as in the development of Blizzard Entertainment's
"Starcraft II" video game, with additional projects in progress.
The Third Floor uses InterSense interface software to drive Autodesk
MotionBuilder, a real-time 3D display engine, providing directors with
stylistic control over the design of their shots.
"The InterSense virtual camera system is making our previsualization
process even more collaborative, by allowing our teams to literally put
the camera back in the hands of the filmmakers with whom we work," said
Chris Edwards, co-founder and CEO of The Third Floor. "We are thrilled
with what the IS-900 system enables us to do today and we're excited to
continue our relationship with InterSense, as we devise new ways to
enhance the previsualization experience."
"We are very proud to partner with The Third Floor, helping them
leverage the power of motion tracking technology to innovate new
previsualization techniques," said Dean Wormell, Director,
Visualization & Simulation Applications Marketing, InterSense. "The
Third Floor is a leader in the previs world, providing its commercial,
game, and feature film clients with streamlined workflows that allow
complex live-action and CGI projects to be completed efficiently, with
higher quality and lower production costs than were traditionally
possible."
