BrainForest Digital Introduces HyperReal,
A New Product In Animatic Production
BrainForest Digital Animatics aims to revolutionize the
animatic production industry with HyperReal, a new style of
3-D animatic designed from the ground up to be a better
presentation tool.
HyperReal is a new way of producing animatics and
artwork for storyboards. It is completely digital and claims
to offer clients a more realistic end result, which helps get
their ideas across better. HyperReal’s name comes from the
realistic film-quality look of the characters and sets. Whether
the actors are “real
people” or Scrubbing
Bubbles, BrainForest
Digital has found a way
to satisfy its clients under
tight deadlines.
“Since its introduction,
we have seen many of
our clients change from
the use of conventional animatics to HyperReal,” said
Joe Matamales, BrainForest Digital’s director. “They see
HyperReal as the next big evolution in animatics, and they
know it makes their ideas stand out.”
