Motion Capture - An interactive session at AUT's MOCAP Lab.
Motion Capture Lab - University Room WG213 Auckland University of Technology, WG Sir Paul Reeves Building, 2 Governor Fitzroy Place, Auckland
6-8pm
Come and find out about how Motion Capture works - now becoming an industry standard, it's the process of capturing movement for animators as well as being used increasingly to map out shots and plot story for live action films - before even the actors come on set.
Take part in this interactive session where you see how the process works, find out about some of the applications and see the Mocap studio at AUT - one of only two facilities in NZ.
Check out these examples of mocap on Vimeo:
