It will help us to speed up the production process and to create content with an incredible fluidity of motion for the characters. Soon, we will be able to implement a part of this technology for our biggest series in development, such as <em>Monster in My Pocket<\/em> or <em>Alex Player<\/em>, for example, which we presented during Cartoon Forum.\u201d<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: block; position: relative; max-width: 690px;\">\r\n \t                <div style=\"padding-top: 56.2504%;\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<video data-video-id=\"6244439203001\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-account=\"1120308147\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-player=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-embed=\"default\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tdata-application-id \r\n\t\t\t\t\tclass=\"video-js\" \r\n\t\t\t\t\tcontrols=\"\"\r\n                    loop autoplay\r\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle=\"width: 100%; height: 100%; position: absolute; top: 0px; bottom: 0px; right: 0px; left: 0px;\"><\/div><\/video>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<script src=\"\/\/players.brightcove.net\/1120308147\/default_default\/index.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The new studio will host a state-of-the-art virtual production, real-time rendering and hybrid magnetic\/optical motion capture studio. \u201cThe aim is to be able to create unique content in a very limited time frame to enrich the IP and the brand we have developed,\u201d Mathieu says.<\/p>\n<p><em>Giganto Club<\/em> marks Cyber Group\u2019s first 100 percent digital-native and 100 percent real-time animation series.

Each episode of <em>Giganto Club<\/em> will present fascinating facts about the Cretaceous period and provide interesting comparisons to today\u2019s world. The series will feature breathtaking landscapes and locations and is hosted by real-time animated dinos that engage viewers with games, songs and themed segments. \u201cKids will relate to the series thanks to its original content and also because it will enrich the [<em>Gigantosaurus<\/em>] universe they love,\u201d Mathieu says.<\/p>\n<p>The plan is to make the high-quality <em>Giganto Club<\/em> content available on a variety of platforms, depending on the different partnerships that Cyber Group enters into on a territory-by-territory basis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<em>Giganto Club<\/em> is definitely the first of its kind, and we will certainly develop other digital-native content with the technology and other IPs,\u201d says Mathieu. \u201cFrankly, today, the possibilities are huge, and the initial response from the market is really incredible, so it is only the beginning. The real-time process allows for a lot of new possibilities, including the potential for live performances.
