MoCap Man

My first endeavour into the world of motion capture. I couldn't think of a name for this guy so I just called him MoCap Man. Clearly some distortion on the upper torso, which (with hindsight) I'm pretty sure I could correct...but whatever, it's my first effort. I also wrote the music. 3D stuff done in Maya and Motion Builder btw.

With a bit more work this would make a great little music vid- nice work.

@sebastianlenton Thanks, yeah the skeleton could have done with something to pad out the chest I think. I also rendered a couple more camera angles - but the render farm outputted duplicates of the cameras that were already rendered for some reason, which was a bit annoying.

@sebastianlenton oh yeah - you're in to 3D stuff also aren't you? I saw your planes video on your page - you made that with Blender! Very impressive! I'd like to use Blender but the interface does my head in, maybe if I persevere with it I could get the hang of it.

@qxtctv I was, but that film took so bloody long it kinda killed my enthusiasm for it really. Blender's pretty cool regardless though especially for a free tool, you get used to the UI madness after a time if you follow the tuts and learn some keyboard shortcuts.
