 | | This is true of multiple motion capture characters or even one character who is composed of data from separate voice and body performers. | | | That is how Lisa Marie Naugle describes motion capture in terms of her dance performance work. | | | Lisa Marie Naugle, "Motion Capture: Re-collecting the Dance," paper presented to the International Council of Kinetography Laban, July 1990. |

| | Motion Capture |
| | Motion Capture was rarely used by artists for extending the borders of dancemaking partly because the costs for the necessary experimentation were prohibitive. | | | Motion Capture consists of a rig (a 3.25x4x4m cast aluminium frame embedded with 540 sensors and electronics) and a 'capture suit'. | | | The motion capture is sophisticated enough to capture Ruth’s dancing style, and it was a very deliberate choice to use a trained dancer. |

| | Motion Capture |
| | Motion capture (like computer animation, in general) is often touted as being both time- and money-saving, but actually it is not yet at the point where it is always a 'better deal' than traditional techniques. | | | I am less concerned with arguing for or against motion capture, or comparing it qualitatively to other animation techniques, than exploring its current state and (eventually) the way in which spectators in entertainment and fine art applications respond to figures based on 'realistic' motion capture data (that is, characters based on the performance of humans). | | | If you accept rotoscoping as a form of animation then you have to accept motion capture." [ 22 ] The problem with his argument is that many people do not accept rotoscoping as a form of animation. |

| | motion capture - what is it? |
| | Motion capture is defined as "The creation of a 3D representation of a live performance." in the book Understanding Motion Capture for Computer Animation and Video Games by Alberto Menache. | | | Motion capture (AKA Mocap) used to be considered a fairly controversial tool for creating animation. | | | In the early days, the effort required to 'clean up' motion capture data often took as long as if the animation was created by an animator, from scratch. |

| | This led us to create a 'hybrid bride' approach whereby we captured live-action footage of their head and hair at the same time as motion-capturing their bodies. | | | Combining the accuracy and flexibility of Vicon motion capture with high-powered, light-emitting markers, ILM customized an approach for the 2004 summer blockbuster that allowed it to effectively shoot motion capture on a demanding film set. | | | The Vicon motion capture system and 24 high-speed, high-resolution Vicon MCam cameras were used by Academy Award-winning Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) to capture performance animation for Van Helsing. |

| | Motion Capture: Acclaim's Optical system |
| | Inverse kinematics techniques can be used to affect the motion; for instance, lifting the hands of a runner at the end of his run would raise his arms enough to create more drama as he breaks the tape, while still maintaining the realism of the captured motion as the major component of the move. | | | Capturing motion in the fashion we have been discussing, with many sensors and sophisticated tracking algorithms, can provide final motion that is completely usable direct from the capture process. | | | A simple example would be to take the captured motion of an actor and alter it in a gross fashion, such as applying a rotation or translation to the move, so that the character takes a different path through the environment. |
