"When we walked off the set for the day, we not only had better, more informed and more intuitive camera moves that felt more in the style of the rest of the sequence – we also had our post-vis already done."
Rob Bredow, VFX Supervisor
SOLO: A STAR WARS STORY
"You see a lot of tracking systems but they are clunky and hard to integrate. Ncam is portable and it is plug and play. It integrates with our software and is completely flexible. Ncam is unique."
Jeremy Jones, Director of Television Products
THE WEATHER CHANNEL
"We had a unique stage and venue layout that left little room for error. Ncam did an excellent job of reacting to the ever changing challenges during a live on-site production. From an 80- foot tall Marshmello to Fortnite characters standing right next to players, the addition of AR absolutely elevated the quality of the broadcasts."
Michael Gay, Epic Games
DIRECTOR OF CINEMATIC PRODUCTION, FORTNITE WORLD CUP
"Everything you see in the background of the demo was final pixel VFX, which is simply incredible,” . “After the demo was done, I was watching it and I couldn’t remember seeing a market stall on set. It turns out even I was fooled!"
Tupac Martir, Creative Director & Founder
SATORE STUDIO
"The remote workflow was pretty much the same as the studio setup. Ncam camera tracking is so flexible, it can track anywhere. We didn’t even need to create external points in the environment – it just worked."
