With industry-experienced professionals and the latest scanning technology, SCANable ensures availability and efficiency by delivering high-quality digital and virtual assets directly on location, even in challenging conditions.

BURBANK, Calif., Dec. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — SCANable, the leading US-based 3D and 4D scanning studio, proudly announces the expansion of its West Coast operations based in Burbank, California — the heart of the largest film and television studios on the West Coast. This expansion supports the rapid number of productions returning to California. This strategic location underscores SCANable’s commitment to delivering exceptional scanning services to the film, television, and video game industries.

Our number one talent is availability. We are ready anywhere, anytime, with the latest scanning technology and expertise. Our in-house team of industry professionals excels at last-minute requirements and challenging conditions.

As the film industry continues to evolve, the importance of supporting US-based crews and businesses has never been greater. Keeping work in the country ensures that local talent and productions thrive, preserving the quality and integrity of visual storytelling. SCANable contributes to this mission by ensuring that all scan processing is performed in-state, allowing productions to apply 100% of their scanning budget toward their state tax credits and keeping valuable work within the country.

SCANable empowers visual storytelling by capturing and creating hyper-realistic digital assets, allowing visual effects studios and creative teams to tell more believable stories and achieve seamless and immersive experiences.

SCANable’s ultra-portable, self-contained Mobile Photogrammetry Studios (MoPho Studios) set the industry standard for efficiency and adaptability. These mobile studios can be deployed to challenging locations and be fully operational within 30 minutes, minimizing the impact on each production’s already hectic planning and coordination efforts, even in the most demanding environments.

SCANable’s mobile studios can literally park within steps of the actors, ready to capture full-body scans in a fraction of a second and complete Facial Action Coding System (FACS) sessions in under 30 minutes. Each studio is also equipped with One-Light-At-a-Time (OLAT) and volumetric multi-camera capture array capabilities, ensuring that productions receive the highest quality scans and reference footage with unparalleled efficiency.

This experience allows SCANable to provide ultra-high-resolution 3D models and Gaussian Splats for use in traditional visual effects pipelines, as well as Virtual Production and LED Volume Stages, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in immersive environments.

Quality, Experience, and US-Based Craftsmanship:

Focusing on quality and committing to US-based talent and processing, SCANable helps productions maximize their budgets and benefit from valuable tax credits. This dedication ensures that the industry’s most demanding projects receive the precision and reliability they deserve.
