We’ve been working with the Motion Grinder team for many years now and on several AAA projects. They’ve always demonstrated an exceptional level of expertise, professionalism, and dedication.

They consistently display a strong work ethic and uphold their commitments. Regardless if the task concerns a technical solution, handling a mocap/HMC shoot or cleaning up mocap data they demonstrate a genuine passion for delivering exceptional solutions.

I wholeheartedly recommend Motion Grinder as a reliable and competent partner. Henrik Håkansson Animation Director Professional, efficient, cutting-edge are the words to describe Motion Grinder. I've been fortunate to work with the Motion Grinder team on numerous AAA performance capture shoots over the past decade, the most recent being Indiana Jones and the Great Circle.

Motion Grinder is consistently the most pleasant, knowledgeable and nimble department - always upgrading cameras and tech to allow talent maximum mobility and comfort while capturing the highest quality of data.

Alex Hansson CEO & VFX SUPERVISOR Stellar! Perfect for us actors prepping and wanting to focus on the scene, not the gear.
Hands down, best I‘ve ever used. Best team I‘ve worked with.

Thanks you guys! Marios Gavrilis Actor After working with Motion Grinder, we can attest they are all about facial animation, delivering world-class work. Their efficient setup means we're paying for actual facial animation, not for a large biz dev and producer team.

This fresh approach allows small studios like ours to achieve great cinematics. From planning to final results, their expertise is mind-blowing, especially their work with Unreal and MetaHuman, surpassing what we believed possible. Jonas Nordling CEO & Project Manager We can't praise Motion Grinder enough. Their immense experience in planning and executing performance capture shoots results in mind-blowing final products. From the outset, we appreciated dealing directly with knowledgeable professionals rather than a large bizdev team.

Their passion for animation shines through in their truly world-class results. Best of all, you pay for the actual work, not for unnecessary overhead. Anders Hejdenberg Creative Director Sigtor and his group are true professionals. They are always on top of the latest facial capture technology and they flawlessly integrate it into their existing rigs. The team’s adjustments between takes are efficient and non-intrusive, and their presence on set is friendly and welcoming. Their love for what they do is evident in the superb results they deliver.

I would absolutely recommend Motion Grinder to anyone looking for a full-service face capture experience. Tom Keegan Performance Director My experience with Motion Grinder was a great one. It was my first time doing both motion capture as well as wearing a HMC and it went pretty smoothly.

The installation was easy and the gear was light and did not obstruct my movements or my acting in any way.
Very happy to have worked with the Motion Grinder team! Viviane Bossina Actress
