MOTION CAPTURE

JUST WHAT IS

MOTION CAPTURE?

Google describes Motion Capture as "the process or technique of recording patterns of movement digitally, especially the recording of an actor's movements for the purpose of animating a digital character in a movie or video game". This is accurate.

However, I prefer the definition as playing make-believe while dressed in a leotard covered in reflective orbs while cameras, computers, and animator druids work mischievous magic. See the videos below...

A screen capture of an "actor setup" where after a performance actor is recorded and the data "cleaned", the information is applied onto an animatable proxy figure.

Next, the skeletal rig of a 3D model (here, my Precious Moments pitch character) is assigned to target and follow the now-hidden proxy figure. Additional counter animation and compositing completes the simple piece.
