Fast forward to 2020, Ace is one of the UK’s leading actors within the motion capture/VFX industry. His ability to&nbsp;embody unorthodox&nbsp;creature movement and voice, has gained the respect of many who work within the industry around the world.&nbsp; A majority of Ace’s work has been in films and video games, including titles such as, The Legend of Tarzan (film), Planets of The Apes VR (video game), The Inpatient (video game), Daymare 1988 (video game) and his biggest project to date, Marvel – Eternals (film). Ace’s latest venture is through his company called,&nbsp;Creature-Bionics.&nbsp;The company’s purpose is to develop performance rigs that enhance an actor’s performance as a creature and create better data for motion capture and VFX reference.
