Cast from woven fibreglass. We make the straps and buckles and fittings ourselves and assemble to make the best fitting helmet for motion capture.

Our CNC Routers can perfectly replicate an actor's face so that we can create accurate masks for the motion capture process.


Using 3D scans of an actor's face and head shape, we vacuum form masks for makeup artists to create dots that maintain continuity between shooting days.
