Aspects of Motion Capture
Motion capture is a technique used in filming to create a
realistic and reliable frame for CGI animators to use in the
creation of computer generated characters or certain
scenes in a film
It is an expensive process to heavily animate films so
motion capture is usually only used by big companies like
20th Century Fox and Universal Studios
Motion capture usually ties into computer generated
scenery so it is usually filmed in front of a greenscreen so
that the whole image can be animated upon
How it has affected film
Motion capture has given films the upper hand
when it comes to creating imaginary scenes for
the viewers, it allows for smooth, anatomical and
realistic movement for any characters that are
computer generated, some famous characters
that were animated to life in this way include…
‘Jay’
Gollum (Smeagol)
Caesar
techniques
Earlier techniques of motion capture consisted of using many
high speed cameras to get an approximate model of whatever
is being recorded
New forms of motion capture include capture points and
motion capture suits, each capture point(s) is bound to
different joints in whatever is animated, like the knee or elbow
As motion capture progressed it gained the skill to capture
facial expressions, binding different points on the face of the
motion capture professional to muscles on an animated
character
Progression
Motion capture has progressed rapidly throughout
the new age of films
One of the newest way to capture movements or
expressions is the same way that the xbox kinect
works, low powered infrared lasers are projected in a
grid like fashion onto the body or the face, an
infrared camera then picks up the position and
distance from the camera which can be used to map
movements and facial expressions
Audience Appeal
Motion capture increases the audience appeal of
movies by making some of the characters that are
impossible to shoot as raw footage, easier to animate
by professionals because lifelike movements are
given to certain characters and things in the film
This makes them more relatable and believable,
giving the film a sense of emersion so the viewers
feel more buried in the film, instead of thinking ‘these
graphics are terrible’
