US EditionSS Rajamouli Unveils India’s Most Advanced Motion Capture Facility: ‘When I Look Back at My Films Such as Baahubali...’
The A&M MoCap Lab offers sub-millimeter precision and live virtual production, enabling Indian filmmakers to create globally competitive large-scale stories, Rajamouli said.
- At Annapurna Studios' 50th anniversary, S.S. Rajamouli unveiled the A&M MoCap Lab in Hyderabad, confirming it captured key sequences for the film Varanasi.
- For decades, Indian filmmakers lacked access to high-end technology, and S.S. Rajamouli said the A&M lab bridges the technology gap in Indian filmmaking to meet global standards.
- The lab pairs Unreal Engine with Stereo Head‑Mounted Camera units for live virtual production and facial capture, featuring a 60-by-40-by-30-foot capture volume with Vicon Valkyrie VK26 cameras and Vicon Live, built by Annapurna Studios and Mihira Visual Labs with Animatrik Film Design as technology partner.
- Directors and cinematographers can finalize creative choices during motion capture, cutting live-shoot risk, while Annapurna Studios plans to offer the lab to Indian and international filmmakers, game developers and animation studios.
- Rajamouli reflected that earlier films like Baahubali and Eega could have been improved with local motion capture, which Annapurna Studios' new lab aims to enable, calling it a milestone for Indian cinema.
