Supervised camera tracking and performance capture for NantStudios virtual production volumes at Docklands Studios Melbourne. Plan, operate, maintain and develop two large-scale mocap stages supporting ICVFX, performance capture, and volume-tric capture. Create technical specifications, stage procedures and reference material for Stage, Brainbar, on-set and client teams relating to Camera tracking. Design and build bespoke optical tracking setups for interior sets and special-purpose tracked objects within the wider mocap volume. Work with production camera teams to build on-camera tracking systems, typically using Technopr ops FIZ Logger 2.0 and Technocr own hardware.
