Serkis partnered with Jonathan Cavendish in 2009, opening The Imaginarium, a Production Company and Performance Capture Studio, after securing a permanent place at Ealing Studios in London.[1] In January 2012 the studio signed an agreement with Vicon, the world's largest supplier of precision motion tracking systems.[2]
In May 2017, Imaginarium Productions and The Imaginarium Studios was split into two separate companies.
The first feature film produced by The Imaginarium, Breathe, directed by Serkis (also the story of Robin Cavendish, the father of Serkis' business partner, Jonathan) and starring Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy, Tom Hollander, and Hugh Bonneville, was the opening night gala presentation of the 2017 BFI London Film Festival.[3]
