Introduction to Motion Capture for Performers
Just what does it take to be a motion capture performer? Come and find out in this Introduction to Mo Cap workshop running in Falmouth as part of Cornwall Festival of Tech, and it only cost £1!
Digitising movements
But, what is motion capture? Motion capture, or mo-cap, is the process of recording and digitising the movement of people or objects. The data is then used to create realistic digital characters for film, video games, sports, medical use or other fields.
The first half of the workshop will focus on good practice for motion capture performer, performance skills including physicality and working with props.
Scripts
The second half of the workshop will focus on working with scripts and then using Rokoko Vision-AI motion capture tool to give you a chance to put your skills into action and have your performance overlayed with an avatar.
