Form Studios Expands West Coast Presence Through Partnership with Cinedept

The way content is created is changing. Virtual production, motion capture, game engine workflows, and real-time rendering are giving creators more flexibility than ever before. At Form Studios, our goal has always been to make these technologies more accessible while removing the barriers that stand between creators and their ideas.

Today, we're excited to announce our partnership with Cinedept in Van Nuys, California.

Operating as Cinedept powered by Form Studios, this new partner studio brings the same virtual production, motion capture, camera tracking, and real-time production workflows that Form Studios uses across its network of studios and clients. Located in the heart of the Los Angeles production market, the studio gives brands, agencies, filmmakers, and game developers access to industry-leading technology backed by the Form Studios team, pipelines, and support services.

More Than Just a Studio

This partnership is about more than adding another location.

As content production becomes increasingly distributed, creators need access to reliable technology, experienced teams, and consistent workflows regardless of where a project takes place. Through our partnership with Cinedept, clients can now access the same production ecosystem used by Form Studios while working in one of the most important creative markets in the world.

Whether a project begins in Georgia or California, clients can leverage the same production pipelines, support teams, and technology stack across the Form Studios partner network.

While productions take place at Cinedept, projects continue to benefit from Form Studios' expertise in virtual production, motion capture, game cinematics, virtual art department services, and real-time content creation.

Built for Modern Content Creation

The Cinedept partner studio features a professional LED volume designed for virtual production workflows, allowing productions to place talent, products, and vehicles inside dynamic digital environments in real time.

Instead of traveling across the country or waiting for ideal conditions, creators can shoot inside photoreal virtual locations while maintaining full control over lighting, weather, time of day, and creative direction.

The studio is also equipped with OptiTrack motion capture technology, supporting everything from character animation and performance capture to high-precision camera tracking for virtual production. These same systems are used to drive advanced workflows for commercials, game cinematics, branded content, and immersive experiences.

Combined with high-performance Puget Systems workstations and media servers, the studio is capable of handling demanding Unreal Engine environments, real-time rendering, motion capture sessions, and virtual production shoots with the reliability required for professional productions.

Digital Twins and Real-World Scanning

One of the most powerful capabilities enabled by this ecosystem is the creation and use of digital twins.

Through Form Studios' Virtual Art Department (VAD) and real-world scanning workflows, physical locations, environments, and products can be captured and recreated as highly detailed digital assets. These digital twins can then be used inside Unreal Engine for virtual production, previs, or full-scale cinematic shoots.

This means a real-world location in Los Angeles, Atlanta, or anywhere else can be scanned, rebuilt, and then shot inside a virtual production environment—without needing to physically return to the site.

For brands and agencies, this unlocks a new level of flexibility. Campaigns can be iterated in real time, environments can be reused across multiple shoots, and creative teams can explore entirely new visual directions without logistical constraints.

Across the Form Studios partner network, these digital twin environments can be accessed consistently, allowing productions to move between locations while maintaining the same world, assets, and visual continuity.

Technology Partnerships That Drive Innovation

A key part of making these partner studios successful is our collaboration with technology partners that continue to push the industry forward.

Unilumin provides the LED technology that powers our virtual production environments. Their display systems allow productions to capture realistic in-camera visual effects while giving directors and creatives immediate feedback on set.

Puget Systems provides the computing infrastructure behind our real-time workflows. From Unreal Engine and motion capture to rendering and playback, these systems are configured to deliver the performance needed for today's most demanding productions.

OptiTrack serves as the foundation of our motion capture and camera tracking ecosystem. Their technology enables everything from virtual production camera tracking and digital twins to character animation and game cinematics.

By standardizing on proven technology partners, we're able to create a consistent experience across our partner studios while ensuring clients always have access to the latest tools available.

The Same Form Studios Team and Workflows

One of the biggest advantages of the Cinedept partnership is that clients aren't simply renting a space. They're gaining access to an entire production ecosystem.

Projects can be supported by Form Studios' Virtual Art Department (VAD) services, Unreal Engine artists, game cinematic teams, virtual production specialists, and technical directors. From environment creation and digital twins to final production and post workflows, clients have access to the same expertise that powers projects across the Form Studios network.

This allows productions to scale efficiently while maintaining creative and technical consistency from concept through delivery.

Expanding What's Possible

We're seeing more organizations embrace virtual production and real-time technologies than ever before. Brands are creating content faster. Agencies are reducing travel costs. Game developers are leveraging motion capture for cinematic storytelling. Corporate teams are building digital twins and immersive experiences that would have been difficult or impossible just a few years ago.

The technology is evolving rapidly, but the goal remains simple: give creators more freedom, more flexibility, and more control over the stories they want to tell.

Our partnership with Cinedept helps make that possible.

By combining Cinedept's production capabilities with Form Studios' workflows, technology stack, and support services, we're creating a resource that gives creators access to world-class virtual production and motion capture solutions in Los Angeles while maintaining the consistency and expertise our clients expect.

Start Creating

Whether you're producing a commercial, building a game cinematic, capturing motion performance data, creating a digital twin, or exploring virtual production for the first time, the Cinedept partner studio provides access to the tools and team needed to bring those ideas to life.

We're excited to continue expanding what's possible for creators and look forward to welcoming productions to Cinedept powered by Form Studios.
