Motion Capture

Kai Lin and I were talking about Motion Capture and we were talking about how good they actually look. If you have seen her blog, you would have seen the Hatsune Miku's Levan Polka dance and the opening of Final Fantasy X2 (sorry for being a final fantasy freak hahaha).If not, it's at the bottom of this post. Im now wondering if those videos were mixed mocap + keyframe animation because they look pretty impressive!

Remember the video that was shown to us in class by Mr.Willy?
The zombie dance from Final Fantasy:The Spirits Within?

The entire movie was actually Mocapped as said. While searching for other Final Fantasy mocap videos, i stumbled upon this :). I thought that it's pretty cool so i shall share it will you guys :)




It is actually the process of how mocap works and what the actors do behind the scenes :).
If you have seen the description of the video, it is actually the"first theatrically released motion capture feature film". xD
That was actually released in year 2001.. so considering the amount of time that has passed, mocap actually improved(in my opinion) as can be seen from the videos below!
