About Cinemotion
Cinemotion is an independent Bulgarian visual effects, animation and virtual production studio based in Sofia. Established in 1998 and formally incorporated in 2004, the company works across international feature films, television and streaming series, web productions, commercials and video game cinematics. Its capabilities connect digital post-production with motion capture, scanning and stage-based production.
The studio provides services across the production process, beginning with concept art, character and creature design, and photogrammetric scanning. Its digital work includes character rigging and animation, matte painting, CG environments, effects simulation, lighting, rendering and compositing. VFX supervision and on-set supervision support the connection between filmed material and digital imagery, while editing, color grading, data management and quality control extend its post-production offering.
Capture and production facilities
Cinemotion operates optical motion capture and virtual production facilities alongside its VFX operation. These support performance capture, virtual cinematography and workflows combining tracked cameras with real-time imagery. The studio also offers green screen stage facilities and equipment rentals, including motion capture stages, Technocrane and Encodacam equipment. Research and development and custom pipeline software form part of its technical service offering.
Film and episodic work
Its filmography includes visual effects for several entries in the Tremors franchise, including Bloodlines, A Cold Day in Hell and Shrieker Island. Other fantasy and genre projects include Dragonheart: The Sorcerer's Curse, Battle for the Heartfire and Vengeance, together with Doom: Annihilation and Dungeons & Dragons: The Book of Vile Darkness, for which its work included full creature CG.
Additional credits include Woody Woodpecker, The Quake, Welcome to Sudden Death and Inside Man: Most Wanted. Cinemotion has also contributed to the Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist and Street Fighter: Resurrection productions. Its Bulgarian cinema work includes visual effects for Javor Gardev's 2008 neo-noir feature Zift.
