  "account": "Annapurna Studios has established an advanced motion capture lab in Hyderabad, India, to enhance the film production process and elevate the country's cinematic capabilities. The A&M MoCap Lab, a joint venture with Mihira Visual Labs and Animatrik Film Design, offers unparalleled capabilities, supporting up to 20 performers simultaneously. The lab employs 64 Vicon cameras and is already being utilized for complex previsualization in the upcoming animated film based on the Baahubali franchise, titled Baahubali: The Eternal War. This marks a significant leap for Indian film production, as the studio aims to create global-standard projects domestically. The A&M MoCap Lab, which opened in February, represents a long-standing aspiration for Indian filmmakers to access high-end technology, closing a gap that has limited their ability to create large-scale, epic stories.",
