Performance Capture - Created for Avatar
Performance capture is the technical process used to translate an actor's performance into a digital character, as seen in films such as The Lord of the Rings, King Kong, Avatar, Rise of the Planet of the Apes, The Adventures of Tintin and many more. Each facial expression, body movement and vocalisation is recorded via specialised cameras and used to create a CG character. Performance is at the centre of the process.
Film used performance capture, 'Mowgli' was the only actor on set. Using a rig called SimulCam, the 3D characters could be created real time next to the Mowgli actor. The finished video would then go to post-production who would do the bulk of visual effects and fine tuning.
