What is it?
This is an action-packed two-day course, which throws you right into the craft of performing for Performance Capture and Motion Capture.
Performance Capture and Motion Capture are used commonly across the film and tv industries world-wide. However despite its wide use, it is still a medium that most actors have not had the chance to work in.
This workshop will throw you into first-hand experience working for mocap: how the technology works, how a mocap shoot runs, what may be expected of an actor during a shoot and how we curate our best work. We will delve into key elements such as studio protocols, movement concepts, physical story-telling and creature creation, and explore these through common industry contexts such as animated scenes and gaming.
