Recently i was able to use the professional motion capture studio in the university of abertay to capture what the scenes i needed for my final animation. Unfortunately could only get the character Kuats scenes done however i will soon have the oppertunity to capture Iae's performance using the studio also.
Due to the characters different builds i got a relitive to help with the capture of Kuat with the intention of getting natural and realistic movements by directing. I believe that this was in the end achieved with some slight difficulties along the way and the captures for Kuat's character are complete.
However I believe that due to being an animator attempting to suddenly direct a live performer was unusual, especially concidering at the time i was attempting to realistic movements and therefore avoided interfering too much where possible. The reason for saying this is that i am used to leading the performance through animated characters while as in this situation i was allowing the actor to lead the performance.
During the next capture session i am going to act the character Iae personally and attempt to focus on the characters performance rather than my own performance. Also concidering i have a better idea of the how the character will act hopefully the process should be smoother and achieve a better final result.
