(Alliance News) - Software provider Oxford Metrics PLC on Wednesday said its subsidiary Vicon Industries Inc, a motion measurement company, has secured a contract with Dark Matters.
Dark Matters is based in Paris and offers a full-service, 180,000 square foot studio for high-end film making, specialising in virtual and real-time production.
Under the agreement, Dark Matters's virtual production stage will house 60 Vicon Vero cameras plus Shogun software. Oxford Metrics said that this will enable performance capture and live camera tracking for in-camera visual effects.
"Virtual production techniques, including camera tracking for in-camera visual effects, enable directors, production designers, VFX supervisors and actors to view projects live on-set, with near-final quality shots, allowing them to quickly react and make changes as needed, rather than having to wait until post-production," Oxford Metrics explained.
Chief Executive Officer Nick Bolton said: "We are delighted that Dark Matters, led by an impressive team of industry veterans and experts with unique track records across numerous blockbuster movies, decided to select Vicon's sensing technology for France's first virtual production studio."
Oxford Metrics shares were down 1.5% to 100.03 pence each in London on Monday midday.
