Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What types of services do you provide?
We specialize in a full range of end-to-end 3D and VFX production, including 3D films, visual effects (VFX), video games, augmented reality interactions, and full animated series production. Our specific services include script adaptation, visual concept development, art direction, cinematography, scene direction, actor direction, body and facial motion capture, photogrammetry, simulations, composition, and set supervision. Whether you need full-scope production or support at a specific stage, we plug in where you need us most.
Q: What is your “real-time pipeline” and how does it benefit our project?
Our real-time pipeline, powered by Unreal Engine, means we render visuals instantly rather than waiting hours or days for traditional rendering. This delivers three key benefits: 82% faster journey from concept to production (allowing more exploration of visual alternatives), 75% faster rendering compared to traditional methods (with better quality frames rendered in less than a second), and 73% greater gain in remote multi-user collaboration (bringing clients into synchronized sessions to explore ideas or refine direction). The result is more amazing movies in less time.
Q: What makes your motion capture capabilities unique?
BlackHouse prides itself on being the first Brazilian production company to specialize in motion capture technology (Mocap). Our team of experienced Mocap technicians and artists specializes in seamlessly integrating motion capture data into your production pipeline, ensuring compatibility with your existing workflows and software. We offer body and face capture, treatment, and delivery of processed material, plus casting of actors, stunt doubles, and dancers for performance in any scenario.
Q: What are Digital Twins and how do you create them?
Digital Twins are hyper-realistic digital counterparts of real individuals. BlackHouse is the only company in Brazil utilizing photogrammetry and facial motion capture technologies to create these lifelike characters. We employ the same techniques used in major Hollywood productions like “Logan” and “Avengers: Infinity War,” transforming athletes, actors, icons, business leaders, musicians, and other personalities into digital versions that can speak, express, and communicate on behalf of their brands. These digital humans create intimate emotional connections between brands and customers.
Q: Why is body language important for digital humans?
Research by Professor Albert Mehrabian established the “7-38-55” rule of communication: words represent only 7% of communication, tone of voice represents 38%, and body language represents 55%. Digital humans harness this power to deliver messages with precision and impact. By carefully crafting their appearance, tone, and body language, we create characters that deliver more engaging and memorable communication experiences — whether as digital influencers, customer support representatives, health consultants, or brand ambassadors.
Q: How involved will our team be in the production process?
We believe the best results come from close collaboration. Your team will be an integral part of the process through regular check-ins, review sessions, and transparent communication. We handle the production heavy lifting while ensuring your creative leads and stakeholders have clear visibility and input at every key stage. Our real-time pipeline even allows clients to join synchronized collaborative sessions to explore ideas or refine direction together.
Q: What is the typical timeline and budget for a project?
Timelines and budgets vary based on the project’s scope, including the length of the animation, complexity of VFX shots, number of characters and environments, use of motion capture, and desired visual style. For context, between 2021 and 2024, BlackHouse produced over 5 hours and 30 minutes of 3D animations for advertising, cinema, and streaming projects. We delivered over 500 VFX shots for “The Hijack of Flight 375” (34+ minutes) and over 50 minutes of animation across 6 episodes for “E.B.I.” The best way to get an accurate estimate is to contact us directly. We can provide a custom proposal tailored to your specific needs and goals.
Q: What experience does your team have?
Our team includes animation and VFX directors with over two decades of experience, having worked at leading companies like Casablanca, Mixer, Rede Globo, and Giant Steps in Los Angeles. Our Technology Director brings over 19 years of experience in the games industry specializing in Unreal Engine.
