The Third Floor: Previzualization

The Third Floor combines MVN, Xsens’ inertial motion capture solution, with camera tracking technology to create real-time computer-generated scenes. Directors can explore these 3D environments and shoot Xsens MVN motion-captured characters from any angle. These previsualizations help directors strengthen their visions before they are forced to make compromises on set and in post.

“Xsens MVN is a revolutionary MoCap system that allows artists to capture performances completely wirelessly. Companies don’t have to dedicate a room to the system or spend hours calibrating cameras. It’s a much more flexible approach, turning heads all around the industry.”

The Third Floor has had the pleasure of working with a variety of clients in the film, gaming and commercial industries, including Dreamworks, Walt Disney Pictures, 20th Century FOX, Paramount Pictures, Electronic Arts, Sony Computer Entertainment, Blizzard Entertainment, Digital Domain, The Mill and many others. Recent projects include The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, Cloverfield and Starcraft II. The Third Floor’s veteran previs artists raise the bar for the directors they work with by leveraging Xsens’ technology and their passion for filmmaking.
