2K Czech engaged us to provide animation services for the iconic MAFIA — Definitive Edition. Our role was to enhance character performance and help bring the game’s cinematic moments to life through body and facial animation based on motion capture.
Skills we used
- MoBu mocap-based cinematic animation
- MoBu Facial animation
The challenge
Building the right team was just the beginning. Together with the producer, we developed a rigorous testing process — not only to qualify for the project but also to set a new benchmark for animation quality. These tests evolved into a valuable training ground, helping our animators fully align with the client’s creative vision and technical standards while allowing us to track progress on both sides.
We were responsible for animating the game’s cinematics, breathing life into the characters through nuanced body and face performances that supported the storytelling and emotional depth of the scenes.
The result
For nine months, we served as the exclusive body animation vendor on MAFIA — Definitive Edition. The producer described us as “one of the best outsourcers I have ever worked with.”
We proved to be a reliable and trusted partner — capable of delivering consistent quality at scale. Our success came down to three key ingredients: rigorous testing, open communication, and mutual respect.
