Pre-production support, brainstorming, testing, iteration, and the development of feasible and optimized pipelines are all part of what we do at Codfish Academy.
Beyond gaming studios, we are also training and supporting the Mala Voadora (https://lnkd.in/e-SUcCVJ) theatre company for their upcoming original play in 2027.
Written by American author Robert Schenkkan, the play has been in development since early 2025. Codfish helped create the character motion capture prototype, integrated with Metahuman, for the initial artistic residency in Silicon Valley.
In February 2026, we supported the second residency and team workshop in Alentejo, Portugal, establishing a live stage pipeline that integrates virtual scenarios and two Metahuman actors who morph into different characters during the play.
This is all still in pre-production, a collaboration between the Codfish dev and trainers team, and the director, actors, author, and stage team.
More refinement will come throughout the year before the play moves to the production stage.
