📝 Motion Capture, AKA Mocap, is the technology to translate normal human movements and interactions onto animated characters. Many films like the Planet of the Apes series, Lord of the Rings series, Star Wars series, and almost all high-budget AAA video games The Last of Us and Uncharted use this technology to make their characters look, move, and behave like natural humans. In today's video, we will cover the details of how to do Motion Capture and how big filmmaking studios take advantage of this form of art by combining the amazing performance of actors like Andy Serkis and VFX artists.

What do you think about motion capture? let us know here in the comments

[@hmmmmmmh2997]

Oh the subtitle is a bit weird but as a non-film major I am so grateful that you guys made this video

[@Postpace]

Hi there, Thanks for your attention. Glad to see your nice comment here.

[@berengerdietiker22]

Bravo, bravo Postpace! A most excellent analysis! I think Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle is one of the best motion-captured films out there; the actors' facial expressions were brilliantly translated onto the animals.

Best video till now fully detailed... thanks for the video😍

[@berengerdietiker22]

There should be an Academy Award for acting in and with motion capture!

[@Postpace]

I totally agree with you! motion acting can be even harder and more challenging than normal acting!

[@berengerdietiker22]

Please excuse the critique, but I noticed that your video doesn't mention motion capture animated movies like The Polar Express, Monster House, Beowulf, A Christmas Carol, The Adventures of Tintin or Mars Needs Moms. Why not?

[@Postpace]

It is quite alright my friend, thank you for paying attention to the whole video. We actually do have plans for paying another visit to this subject and in that video we want to include animated films and video games. stay tuned my friend

[@berengerdietiker22]

@@Postpace, I look forward to your followup video.

[@nsudam]

I agree too. The amount of work done both on-screen and off-screen must be appreciated. It takes an immense amount of dedication from every member to make it a reality.
