A Test Shoot Kicks Off the Production of the New VR Feature Film GENESIS MARS

As part of the development process, we recently completed a test shoot at Volucap Studio to explore and refine a key scene from the GENESIS MARS script. Together with the talented actresses Marie Theres Göderz and Lina Hüesker, we brought a key scene from the script to life — an important step in developing both the creative direction and technical setup of the project.

Using our volumetric capture technology, we recorded the performances in full 3D, capturing every movement with natural precision. This approach lets us place the actors directly into richly detailed digital environments — not as animated approximations, but as authentic human performances (volucaps) preserved in three dimensions. This method delivers a powerful sense of presence and realism that traditional filmmaking simply can’t match.

GENESIS MARS stands out through its use of six degrees of freedom (6DoF) in storytelling. Instead of watching passively from a fixed perspective, audiences can move freely through the virtual scene, choose their own viewpoint, and experience the narrative from any angle. They can stand next to the characters, observe subtle gestures up close, or explore the environment as the story unfolds around them.

Volucap’s ultra-high-resolution volumetric system — capturing performances at over 3000 megapixels — makes this level of immersion possible. The combination of extraordinary visual detail and full spatial freedom transforms the viewing experience into something deeply personal and unforgettable: a digital encounter that feels physically real.
