Karthi at Apple Arts Studios: The Future of Action is Motion Capture
Something interesting happened at Apple Arts Studios
Karthi—one of India’s top action directors (Pushpa 2, Baahubali, Kalki)—visited a motion capture studio India based in motion capture Hyderabad… and it says a lot about where the industry is heading.
We’re talking about the rise of motion capture technology, performance capture, and high-end motion capture services changing how action is created.
Action Is No Longer Just Physical
Today’s action scenes? They’re not just performed—they’re engineered.
With motion capture, every movement is recorded with precision. At Apple Arts Studios (a leading mocap studio India), OptiTrack Prime X22 cameras track everything—from fight choreography to high-impact stunts.
And the best part?
Real-time visualization.
Directors like Karthi can instantly see, adjust, and refine scenes. This is huge for:
motion capture for film production
motion capture for VFX
Full Performance Capture Pipeline
Apple Arts Studios runs as a full performance capture studio, offering:
• Realistic stunt choreography • Clean retargeting & post-processing • Advanced facial motion capture
• Unreal Engine real-time previews
Everything designed to make digital action feel real.
Capture Volume Capability
Scale matters. And this is where it gets impressive:
• 70 ft × 60 ft × 25 ft • 60 ft × 60 ft × 30 ft • 100 ft × 70 ft × 30 ft • Up to 120 ft × 200 ft × 35 ft
Motion Capture Camera Infrastructure
• 127 motion capture cameras (studio + large-scale setups) • Stage Dimensions: 30 ft × 30 ft × 10 ft
This is what production-scale motion capture looks like.
Karthi’s Take
Karthi highlighted how motion capture animation and performance capture for film are becoming essential—especially for complex action and blending live-action with VFX.
And honestly, it makes sense.
Indian cinema is evolving. Fast.
The Bigger Picture
Apple Arts Studios stands out as a high-end motion capture studio with large-scale infrastructure—offering full performance capture (body, facial, finger tracking).
With growing demand in films, gaming, and VFX, motion capture for cinematic animation is shaping the future.
Final Thought
This isn’t just a studio visit. It’s a signal.
Action storytelling is changing—and motion capture India is right at the center of it.
