NEW LENSES=BETTER LENSES

In an effort to push the PhaseSpace system to greater heights, three new lenses have replaced the old lenses in each Impulse camera. The new lenses boast a 50% greater range with far better data quality. The camera's range allows for larger capture areas and fewer cameras in smaller capture areas. It is important to note that the price of the new cameras have increased by 25 percent, due to the material cost of the new lenses. If you would like to purchase the new and upgraded cameras, please contact us at sales@phasespace.com.

HALO 3 SHORTS UTILIZE PHASESPACE MOTION CAPTURE TECHNOLOGY

Computer Graphics World Magazine featured an article on Origami Digital for their work on three Halo 3 live-action shorts using the PhaseSpace IMPULSE system. Covering 140 shots in 2.5 months with only 5 artists, the PhaseSpace motion capture system is credited for making the production possible. Real time pre-visualization provided by the IMPULSE system eliminated the need for re-shooting by giving the director control over the shoot in California from halfway around the world. High quality capture data required little touch-up and eliminated the need for keyframe animation. PhaseSpace motion capture helped Origami Digital produce the shots needed with limited time and human resources.
