1. A method comprising:
accessing, by a volumetric content production system, first capture data representing an entirety of a capture target and captured by a fixed camera system including a first plurality of image capture devices having respective fixed viewpoints with respect to the capture target;
accessing, by the volumetric content production system, second capture data representing a dynamic portion of the capture target less than the entirety of the capture target and captured by a dynamic camera system including a second plurality of image capture devices having respective dynamic viewpoints with respect to the capture target, wherein the dynamic camera system is configured to be dynamically calibrated with the fixed camera system based on ongoing changes between the fixed viewpoints and the dynamic viewpoints;
combining, by the volumetric content production system, the first capture data and the second capture data to generate combined capture data; and
generating, by the volumetric content production system based on the combined capture data, a volumetric representation of an object included in the dynamic portion of the capture target.
