Bale, a big fan of the FIFA franchise, demonstrated his free kick technique as well as a series of athletic drills and passes - all captured using Vicon's industry-leading motion capture technology. The captured data was then used to bring to life the footballer's moves, characteristics and personality within the game in precise detail.\n \nAudiomotion's work on FIFA 2014 is the latest in a long line of world class motion capture for major gaming and movie projects, including World War Z, the Narnia series, the Titans series, Harry Potter series, Golden Compass, and Gladiator. Audiomotion's on-going work in pushing the art of motion capture forward is helping to maintain the UK as an essential hub in the visual effects industry. \n \nTo see Vicon's cameras capturing Gareth Bale's technique, click here. \n \nFor further information please contact:\n \n\n\n\n\nOMG plc\n\n\n+44 (0) 1865 261800\n\n\n\n\nNick Bolton, CEO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDavid Deacon, CFO\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFTI Consulting\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7831 3113\n\n\n\n\nMatt Dixon / Emma Appleton / Charles Palmer / Jessica Liebmann\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nN+1 Singer (NOMAD to OMG)\n\n\n+44 (0) 20 7496 3000\n\n\n\n\nShaun Dobson / Jenny Wyllie\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nNotes to Editors\n \nAbout OMG plc\n \nOMG plc (Oxford Metrics Group.
