Open Mocap Sessions
Work Your Demo Reel - On Our Stage

Think of it as like an "open gym" for actors. Use the stage to practice the art of performance capture and work on your demo reel. No production crew, no full mocap pipeline, no per-day production rates.

Open Mocap gives you access to our facility during open studio hours to shoot live-to-tape performance footage in Unreal Engine, using our reference camera setup, inside one of our prebuilt virtual sets. You leave with clean, presentable footage of your performance in a real-time 3D environment.


What You Get
  • Studio time on our motion capture stage, booked hourly
  • Live-to-tape footage rendered in Unreal Engine in real time
  • Reference camera footage of your on-set performance
  • A prebuilt virtual environment - choose from our existing scene library
  • A low-pressure space to rehearse, block, and shoot performance-driven material
Location & Cost
  • Trident Mocap Lab, Hollywood
  • $100 per person per hour - limited introductory pricing
What This Is Not

Open Mocap is not a production mocap shoot. To keep this an accessible, hourly-rate offering, a few things are off the table:

  • No motion capture data. We are not recording, cleaning, or delivering skeletal/mocap animation data - only the rendered video output.
  • No custom scenes or environments. You'll select from our existing prebuilt scenes; we're not building or modifying sets for your session.
  • No production crew, director, or post team. This is self-directed studio time, not a produced shoot.

If you need mocap data, a custom environment, or a fully crewed production, ask us about our full production mocap packages - Open Mocap is the practice space, not the production stage.


Why Open Mocap?

Regular full mocap production days are priced to including, prep, crew, custom builds, data cleanup and deliverables. Open Mocap strips that down to just the room and the tools, so you can:

  • Build reel footage without a production budget
  • Rehearse performance for camera in an actual volume
  • Get comfortable acting in a virtual production environment before a real job
  • Book by the hour, on your schedule
