Credo Interactive Inc.

Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Credo Interactive is an innovator in creating dance animation products, content and solutions for choreography and education. Credo was founded by Dr. Thomas (Tom) W. Calvert, Simon Fraser University.

At Credo Interactive, we specialize in 3D animation software with a particular focus on the teaching and choreography of dance. Our award-winning Life Forms and DanceForms choreography software easily integrate with your work, whether it's in the classroom, the studio, or with your suite of digital tools for movement research and analysis. Our libraries provide a rich array of motion capture and animation clips ranging from ballet to everyday activities.

Edit and expand animated and motion capture content, including the comprehensive BalletMoves II collection, with Life Forms or DanceForms to enhance your choreography and other 3D projects. Visual artists, dancers, performance and theatre professionals agree: Life Forms and DanceForms are the premiere solutions for choreographic pre-visualization with key poses and textual notation in the timeline.

In collaboration with the Simon Fraser University Moving Stories Project (movingstories.ca) at the School of Interactive Arts and Technology, Credo software and content are now freely available for download at www.charactermotion.com/df-download.html
