OUR SERVICES
Blending tech + design to create work that's both personal + functional.
Founded in 2005 as a full-service CGI studio, MotR's spirit and purpose have grown into the spaces beyond. We are a diverse, tech-forward production studio that combines traditional and emerging technologies to create engaging digital content.
virtual production
MotR leverages the capabilities of Unreal Engine and nDisplay to create living, real-time virtual environments to support the creative work of amazing directors like Trevor.tv. Unreal allows for immediate control of virtual environments, changes in lighting, time of day and whether conditions, and even triggering of animated elements like photo-real cars and scanned background actors. Camera tracking and lens matching allows the foreground to seamlessly merge with the LED background and create parallax changes that give the entire shot true realism.
immersive experiences
Our latest passion is using the Unreal Engine to create massive projection experiences, synched across many servers, rendering generative content in lock step for a truly immersive experience. Similar to methods used to create shows like The Mandalorian, we are leveraging Unreal's nDisplay and Disguies' renderstream to create experiences not just for film production, but also massive immersive theatre experiences like the ones you should see at The Illuminarium.
unreal development
We have been developing XR, interactive and rendered content for our clients using the Unreal Engine since 2014. Unreal is a constantly evolving tool that provides truly cutting edge visual and interactive development to be done for any platform. We've even been tasked with promoting their render engine directly in a piece for their broadcast event in 2021.
real time rendering
We are constantly working at the forefront of render technology, in order to produce the highest quality images in the shortest time possible. For the past few years, we have experienced great success working with Epic's Unreal Engine. Unreal has made tremendous strides in real time output, allowing us to iterate more and thereby have a much more refined end product. Unreal is currently in use for plenty of feature film and television projects. It's truly the cutting edge of render technology.
VR/AR/XR
MotR entered the VR field in 2014, in it's nascient stages, creating compelling immersive experiences for pharma companies like Merck, Pfizer and Novartis. Since then, we have gone on to extend that immersion into AR offerings for Android and iOS, and XR, or mixed reality, projects for clients like Media Monks and Verizon. We are constantly investigating new ways to further engage the audience and include them in the storytelling process.
animation + vfx
The foundation of our work is deeply rooted in animation. Whether it's animation for a VR experience, character work (2D or CG), photo-real products / environments or visual effects work for a traditional medium, nothing is better for traditional storytelling than animation. Factor in the benefits gained from our new real-time render pipeline and our animation projects run on a faster timeline and are more budget conscious than ever before.
product photography
MotR was at the forefront of fully CG product shots when it opened in 2005. By building the entire photo studio in the computer, we are able to keep quality consistently high while making variations for any number of different product container volumes, label art, languages, etc. We also provide much more concise control for client Creative Directors, without the need for extensive retouching.
medical + pharmaceutical
Medical animation requires a team that has a deep understanding of human anatomy coupled with refined scientific animation skills. Our team has spent the past 17 years working closely with medical diagnostic and pharmaceutical companies to illustrate their stories through accurate and compelling 3D medical animations. Doing so allows them to better market their products and drugs to professionals and consumers alike and train students, medical professionals and research partners more effectively.
