Faceware Technologies Partners with Binari Sonori to Offer New Video-Based Localization Service

Localization of games should be very easy now.

Posted By | On 30th, Apr. 2014

Faceware Technologies will be partnering with Binari Sonori to launch something completely unique and unprecedented- a new video-based localization service, which uses Faceware’s professional headcam systems to capture video of a voice actor’s performance at the same time that the audio is being captured, providing both actors and animators with time-saving video reference for localization. This service launches today, and should make simultaneous releases of video games around the world that much quicker and easier.

“I’m really excited about this new service,” said Andrea Ballista, account manager and co-founder of Binari Sonori. “It gives us a simple yet elegant solution that allows actors around the world to mirror their performances, saves artists time in the animation process, and helps game studios drive up the quality of localization without adding any time to the process.”

“We’ve been talking to Binari Sonori for many months, and have tested the service internally,” said Pete Busch, vice president of business development for Faceware Technologies. “It’s now ready to roll out globally, and we can’t wait to see the results on actual productions.”
