Animazoo supplies Chechnya’s first motion capture system

Animazoo is proud to announce the installation of a fully equipped animation studio using an IGS-190 motion capture system at the PUT Publishing House; a new Ministry of Culture initiative in the town of Gudermes situated near Chechnya's capital Grozny.

The IGS-190 full body motion capture suit and the animation studio installation generated a host of local and national media excitement and is expected to revolutionize the way animation is made in the country. Magomed Elgarayev, acting head of the PUT Publishing House claims that the studio, with its brand-new equipment now has 'no rivals' in Russia. Elgarayev investigated a number of motion capture systems before choosing the IGS-190; with its excellent data capture and reliability he considered it to be 'the best in the world' for his motion capture based projects. Having Russian, French, Spanish and Italian speaking support staff at Animazoo was also a point not lost by people who might need plenty of after sales support.

PUT Publishing will utilise the IGS-190's patented inertial motion capture technology immediately to generate new and original creative 3D work beginning with a series of animated films focusing on the traditions, culture and customs of the Chechen people. "There is no shortage of scripts" says Elgarayev, who does not seem surprised by the Chechen creative community's enthusiasm for the studio's future work.

Ali Kord, Technical Director of Animazoo had this to say. 'I am so excited for them. We have set them up from A to Z of the pipeline they need to produce all types of animation. They just love the fact that they can produce custom-made original animation instead of buying second hand ones that have clearly been dubbed'.

Larissa Vyborgova, Director of Russian established animation company Studio Mult wishes Elgarayev and his creative teams the best of success with the new equipment and says motion capture is 'only the tip' of what is now possible for PUT Publishing.
