IRVINE, Calif. - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Animation Vertigo, a U.S. based motion capture company that provides high quality motion capture and animation artwork to leading entertainment industry companies, announced today that its team of artists from its production studio in the Philippines participated in the making of Quantic Dream’s Beyond: Two Souls. (http://playstation.beyond-twosouls.com/#home)The PlayStation 3 game blurs the lines between videogame and movie by blending lifelike graphics and animation with stellar acting.

Featuring Academy Award Nominees Ellen Page and William Dafoe, Beyond: Two Souls boasts 3D animation so realistic that its graphics, worthy of the silver screen, are being recognized internationally by the gaming industry amongst the very best on the PlayStation 3 platform.  Among those praising the game are Forbes Magazine, The Washington Post, Entertainment Weekly, and Venture Beat.

“Animation Vertigo’s team of artists helped ensure that no subtle nuance was left out in making Beyond: Two Souls, whether it is the raise of an eyebrow or a look of excitement,” said Marla Rausch, founder and CEO, Animation Vertigo. “To accomplish this, our artists take the motions captured on stage onto the computer to accurately translate the actors’ facial emotions and body movements. Sometimes we have to fill in the blanks, or make up the data, to ensure that it is consistent with the director’s vision.”

Having previously worked together on Heavy Rain, the success of the collaboration between Quantic Dream and Animation Vertigo can be attributed to the strong partnership between the two companies over several years. Constant communication between the game’s performance capture lead and Animation Vertigo’s bilingual artistic team guaranteed that no creative vision was lost in translation.
