This is our last season on the Winterthur stage. At the end of February 2027, Quantum Stage moves to a new location, and before we pack up the cameras we want to fill the stage one more time. So for January and February, our full motion capture days are half price.
Why optical capture?
There are plenty of cheaper ways to get motion today: inertial suits, phone apps, AI from video. But when you need clean data for fast action, close contact between several actors or precise hand work, nothing beats optical capture. Our stage runs a 20-camera Vicon optical system (10 Vantage and 10 Vero cameras). For what it costs, it's one of the best tracking setups you'll find anywhere. Don't take our word for it: download free sample data at mocapatlas.com and judge it yourself.

CHF 1,400 per shoot day instead of CHF 2,800

Not shooting? The post-production rate is for you too. Need a hand with retargeting, motion editing, cleanup or building your animation pipeline? Book post-production days at CHF 500 by 31 December, whether or not you shoot with us.
About non-exclusive data: You get a worldwide, perpetual license to use the data in your project. In return, we may also offer it to others through our Mocap ATLAS library. If that works for you, it's the cheapest way onto our stage. It's also one of the most affordable ways to get AAA-quality optical mocap data anywhere in the world.
How to book
The season has eight weeks left, so days are limited and go first come, first served. To lock in the rate, send us your project and the number of days by filling out the form below or by sending us an e-mail. We'll send a booking confirmation, and a 50% deposit secures your days. The rest is due before we deliver your data. Need to spend your 2026 budget? We're happy to invoice in December.
After February, Quantum Stage carries on at a new location. We'll share where as soon as we can. This rate, though, ends with this season.
Let's make the last weeks in Winterthur count!
