UpCast vs Urban Hawk

Audition from your phone.

Auditions for models and actors have remained an expensive and time-consuming process for years. Casting directors, production studios, brands, and the like have to spend upwards of $2000 to secure a location, photographer, and equipment. Then spend at least a full day casting, uploading files, and reviewing each audition photo and video. For talent, there’s paying for headshots, driving in traffic, waiting in line, maybe even requesting time off work, all for 30 seconds with a casting director who snaps 1-3 photos of them. With more and more people using smartphones equipped with built-in, high-quality cameras and everyone equally frustrated with the process, it’s time for a revival.

As the first mobile platform that instantly connects talent and productions through the entire casting process digitally, UpCast is the big break the industry needs. Inspired by apps and mobile sites that help us find jobs, dates, food, rides, etc., UpCast lets talent conveniently swipe through castings matched to their specific criteria, and upload live photos and videos from anywhere. Casting directors and companies can then see, filter and book talent digitally, saving everyone much needed time and money.

Data intelligence

We are UK company with solutions that unlock new ways for automation in real-time. With the help of 3d mapping we build the street-level replica (digital twin) of the urban landscape in time-lapse dense detail. We combine depth information extracted from ground photos and video captures, drone footage, and satellite imagery into highly efficient spatial data structures. Frequently updated. We aim to maximise situational awareness. We locate relevant urban data in the ever growing big data sets collected worldwide. They fuse with our digital twins, collate and then display in 3d with time-lapse. Our efficient spatial data structures enable to run path finding, collision detection, and basically physics inside a digital twin. In real-time. You and your developers can then monitor and apply relevant urban statistics in revolutionary and accessible detail. You and your operators can profit from the arising automation opportunities through the range of our premium products we have been developing and providing on top. Guidance in mobility and multi-modal transport, real-time risk assessment and claim validation in insurance, artificial intelligence to foster data driven decision making in maritime operations and smart cities.
