I don't know if we are talking about the same thing but Andy Serkis founded The Imaginarium Studios in 2011 not Giant Studios (the guys who worked on Avatar). Giant Studios is in Los Angeles so it doesn't sound cheap at all.

Ah my mistake I assumed that they were still using Andi Serkis' old mocap production crew as he worked with Ninja Theory on their last 2 games as an actor and mocap director. They used the studios in New Zealand that were used for LotR etc back then.

And I knew some of his tech was used on Avatar so I assumed they were the same. It seems that Giant Studios does a lot of game work tho and I doubt they would be much more expensive than Andy Serkis himself just because the Avatar crew also used the same studio. Ninja Theory have a long history of mocaping their games, in fact the quality of their mocap is basically their calling card and Andy Serkis and his crew was a big part of that. I guess they aren't working together anymore as like you said Andy has his new production company that is developing that Animal Farm film that he is also directing. But still I don't see how Giant Studios would be a lot more expensive than what they have been doing before, the actors were probably already in LA so that would save flying them to NZ. 

Well Giant Studios is located in LA and Ninja Theory in London so I guess they fly a crew to film the mocap and a big Hollywood mocap studio on LA must not be cheap, everything on Hollywood is expensive.
