The written report
Motion Capture Report, from Ariel
Attendee: Jenny, Choi, Ariel
Time: 12:00-15:00 1st Dec, 2010
Location: Motion Capture Room, AIT
We started with set up the motion capture system, by adjusting 3d model in 3dmax, set up cameras calibration, and bring in motion builder to read to start to record. Due to the problem of we were not familiar to that long processes of setting ups that time, we tried few times and finally make the models worked.
Basically I am the first one to start of recording that day, I set up a camera, Choi helped me on my body calibration and face capture, jenny assisted me on recording and playing the video for me. I used the video that I been chosen at first place, it has pretty much of close motion and was not easy to follow, so I been tried 3 times and still was not as good as I expected. The reason is the video I choose was too short, and less interests to mimic from, therefore, my model was always broken in the half way of performance, I was quite upset when in see the result. The movement of my model does not interpret any characteristics or personalities at all, does even hard to see what she is doing or trying to present.
So I let jenny and Choi did their motion captures first, and through my observation and learning from them, I found the following mistakes I been made:
- Lots of close motions need to be done in a opening motion ways, for opening motions it needs us to do it as exaggerate as possible.
- A good long funny video is essential, because as you perform more and more, you will find you are more into the character, so I won’t stop to accidently and feels like unfinished performance. Even if I edited the clips later, I could choose some good clips or cuts as much as I want later on.
- I shouldn’t wear a big shirt during the performance.
- I should try to perform with a prop
Overall, I studied a lot during the time my two classmates was performing, so I purposed I should record the things again, and jenny suggest me to use her video as a reference to mimic to, and I brought up my all energy to dance this time, I tried as good as I can to show liz’s characteristics and personality this time. It’s all turns out to be great in the recorded video.
That was a best practical experience in the motion capture room, I barely analyzed my failure before and never do the whole setting ups and performing all by ourselves.
After this time, we all pretty confidence on mastering the key of making good record on motion capture, and we are looking forward to make it works better next time.
