also because I am interested in becoming an animator and so I was eager to find out how they went about
the motion capture process. This was then demonstrated to us, from the capturing of the movement through
to the building of the computer generated model.
Motion capture is when a series of cameras record a real life actor's movements.
The actor is wearing a suit covered in sensor points; the points are mostly located on the
joints of the actor's body with some extra sensors placed over the body for recording more information.
The cameras pick up on these sensors and use them to record the movement of the actor.
This recording is then used as a basis to build up a computer generated model.
We were also shown clips of the work they had done. It was interesting to see how they captured
the movement of a vehicle and also how they created a four-armed zombie.
From this trip I now feel this is something I would like to possibly pursue in the future.
