About Form Studios
Form Studios is a virtual production, motion capture, cinema robotics, and real-time game cinematics studio. Established in 2017 within creative agency REMEDY and launched as an independent company in 2025, it supports commercial, entertainment, broadcast, and experiential work with integrated real-time production workflows.
The studio combines in-camera visual effects with Unreal Engine 5 virtual art department workflows, including nDisplay, Lumen, and Nanite. Its production toolkit includes fine-pitch LED volumes, FreeD camera tracking, optical and inertial motion capture, facial-performance capture, and 6-axis cinema robotics for repeatable camera movement. These systems enable real-time parallax on LED walls, virtual scouting, previsualization, performance capture, and final-pixel ICVFX production.
Production capabilities
- Virtual production and LED volume stages for commercials, branded content, specialized film and television sequences, and live productions
- Cinema robotics and motion control for tabletop, product, VFX, and beat-synced camera moves
- Motion and performance capture using optical, inertial, markerless, and facial-capture workflows with live Unreal Engine retargeting
- Game cinematics and real-time animation from script and previs through capture, Unreal Engine rendering, and Nuke compositing
- Mobile virtual production for deployable LED-wall, tracking, compute, and technical-crew setups across the United States
- Experiential activations including interactive motion-control video booths, real-time avatar interaction, and convention installations
Form Studios works across commercial advertising, video games, film and television, sports media, music videos, and live events. Its documented work includes campaigns and productions for Delta Air Lines, Mercedes-Benz, Chicago Bulls, AKAI, Cox Communications, Jimmy John’s, U.S. Soccer, and Bleacher Report, as well as original real-time cinematic projects such as Recall and Conquest — A Battlefield Fan Film.
The company maintains permanent production-stage operations in Georgia and California while also providing nationwide mobile LED-volume deployments. Its approach joins on-set technical crews, Unreal Engine artists, virtual-production supervision, tracking, robotics, and performance-capture systems into a turnkey production service.
