Los Angeles, CA (July 7, 2009)-VICON House of Moves recently provided
motion capture services to Motion Picture Company (MPC) and Zoic for high
profile commercial projects. The new Playstation 3 commercial for the game
"inFAMOUS" directed by Luis Nieto includes VFX work by MPC Los Angeles, and
Mountain Dew's Code Red "Level Up or Die" spot directed by Tarsem Singh
features effects work by Zoic Studios. Both MPC and Zoic completed motion
capture sessions for these spots at VICON House of Moves in Los Angeles.
MPC's work on a spot for the release of the new Playstation 3 game,
"inFAMOUS", features the game's main character Cole, leaping to life from
the pages of a comic book into action packed 3D environments.
"We recently had the pleasure of working with House of Moves on the Sony
Playstation 3 commercial for 'inFAMOUS.' Working with Scott and his team is
always a fantastic experience. In the commercial world where one is always
fighting the clock, House of Moves was pivotal in maximizing the quality of
work on such a tight schedule. This was quite a challenge but thanks to
their professional, eager, and creative team that can only be compared to
an army of MacGyvers, we got everything we needed. This on set experience
was then complimented by the quality of the cleaned data, and the speed in
which it was delivered," said Nick Losq, VFX Supervisor, MPC Los Angeles.

"House of Moves is always my first recommendation when people ask me where
they should shoot their motion capture, and I look forward to collaborating
with them in the future," Losq concluded.
Zoic Studios worked with Radical Media Director Tarsem Singh on a cross
promotional spot for Mountain Dew Code Red featuring World of Warcraft
(WOW) characters. Zoic artfully placed WOW characters into a live action
supermarket setting for an explosive battle at the checkout lane.
"We worked with HOM on this and captured the fight choreography in a short
day on their main stage. They were so helpful in assisting us in creating
interaction objects and better stunt capture weapon props. Their
technicians were very collaborative and helped us determine if the captures
would work from the various camera angles, and helped us work out the scale
enlargement necessary to apply the motion files from 5'4" stunt performers
to 7'4" WOW characters," said Leslie Ekker, Creative Director, Commercial
division, Zoic Studios. "After we recorded sufficient variations and
sequences, we wrapped out early and began the post production phase. HOM
delivered very clean motion files, these made for a strong natural quality
of animation and was a big part of the success of the job."
