Digital Humans are on the rise. They are the perfect illusion of reality and they are getting affordable now. But who are the creators of digital humans? Why are they created? Meet Hermione Mitford Flynn, CEO of the leading 3D animation and motion capture studio Mimic Productions and the 3D avatar of herself called EM at #mthcon. Mimic Productions worked for Warner Brothers, Nike, Clinique, Saatchi&Saatchi and famous people like Cristiano Ronaldo, Roger Federer, Marina Abramovic and Jeff Koons and many more.
Flynn created her avatar herself. She is going to introduce herself and her alter ego in her keynote session. Flynn is a trained performance artist who has won several prestigious awards in the fields of fashion, film and performance. Her lookalike avatar called EM has her own secret life. Flynn is going to reveal this secret in her keynote at the conference. Get to know in what way characters like EM, digital doubles of real humans, are pioneers. Find out if the existence of personal avatars will become a commonplace reality in the near future and if it will still be possible to distinguish reality from fiction.
The list of famous clients of Mimic productions includes Kanye West as well. For Kanye West they created the facial animation and rigging for his interactive music video Blllk Skkkn Head. They also created a hologram for a commercial with football star Neymar, helped translate one of the iconic sculptures of artist Jeff Koons into a moving ballerina. With avatars like the ones from Mimic Productions you can even save money. Hermione Mitford Flynn admits that in general motion capture is more costly than normal production because of the time consuming post production. But there are exceptions, she just recently explained on TV: “For example when you are working with celebrities they are charging thousands per minute if they are on set. If you don’t have to work with their physical time and you instead have their character it can be done much cheaper.”
Mimic productions is based in Berlin and has 20 employees right now. Most of them are 3D artists. The company focuses on high-quality, photo-realistic digital doubles and 3D Characters. Mimic Productions also provides services such as Scanning, Modeling, Texturing, Rigging and many other 3D services to ensure all aspects of your animation project are brought to an impressive and innovative 3D reality.
