Beyond Capture Studios, a global pioneer in advanced motion and performance capture, has just announced the grand opening of its new 40,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art motion capture studio in Montréal. This gigantic facility is now ranked among the biggest of its kind in the world and delivers a next-generation venue for Montréal’s burgeoning creative industry.
This cutting-edge studio is situated in the city’s bustling Sud-Ouest neighborhood and the enormous space allows for a greater selection of premium services utilizing industry leading tools and equipment for existing and future clients in the video game and entertainment realms.
Beyond Capture’s new facility includes two performance capture stages, one Mocap stage, one virtual production stage, a dual audio booth and a photogrammetry rig. Right now the firm is gathering a team of nearly 25 skilled professionals for openings like production manager, capture tech, realtime operator, talent producer, production assistant and more.
“Montréal has always been an international entertainment production hub,” said Graham Qually, President and CEO, Beyond Capture Studios. “We’re hoping with our significant investment, bringing multiple performance capture studios, film stage, audio booths and virtual production, that we can not only boost and support current teams but also surpass the current, already high, Gaming and VFX industry standard, and attract even bigger projects along with top level talent.”
June’s official launch for this new Montréal’s studio serves as Beyond Capture’s second outlet in Canada. Their Vancouver Studio formed in 2017 and employs a crew of 50 industry pros whose vast talents have been on display in popular video games, TV shows, and movies including: Resident Evil 4: Remake, New Tales from the Borderlands, Hogwarts Legacy, Mortal Kombat 1, Street Fighter 6, The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners and Space Jam 2.
To bolster their ranks, Beyond Capture Studios has also been in partnership with the Vancouver Film School by holding developmental training programs and internship roles to students that often lead to job opportunities for graduates. The studio hopes to replicate this recruiting model in Montréal by cultivating team-ups with the city’s flourishing animation and VFX ecosystem.
