Clear Angle Studios

Did you catch us on the BBC? We recently featured in a broadcast segment across BBC Breakfast, BBC News’ Tech Now, and BBC UK & World News! Producer Ali Ingham and Training Manager Jordan Fisher took reporter Andrew through the same scanning process used to capture high-quality 3D scans for some of the world’s most recognisable actors. The segment highlights how quickly and seamlessly our capture service fits into the wider production process - with a full body scan captured in seconds. This enables actors and crews to get straight back to set while maintaining the high level of detail required for modern film and game production.
