Motion Capture for Gaming

Spillindustrien tjener årlig nærmere fire ganger mer enn hele film -og musikkbransjen til sammen, og er en stor arbeidsplass for skuespillere. Los Angeles-baserte Trine C. Jensen jobber daglig med å kombinere klassisk skuespillerteknikk med Motion Capture. Gjennom to eksklusive dager på Spillskolen i Hamar vil du få prøve deg i MoCap-drakt og få grunnleggende arbeidsverktøy for å kunne jobbe med Gaming.

Kursbeskrivelsen er på engelsk, da kursets arbeidsspråk er engelsk.

We’re excited to offer this 2-day workshop in working with Motion Capture for Gaming!

Are you an actor looking for new avenues of work, then don’t miss this Pcap for Games workshop. Learn to adapt and refine your work for interactive media and unlock the power of authentic performance. We will dive into performance capture and voice over for games, and all the skills and tech required for working in this field. Bring your characters to life with animal work and movement for compelling embodied performances.

This workshop offers a unique opportunity to work with acting in a Motion Capture suit in a green room, and to work with students in Game Technology and Simulations, guided by the acclaimed workshop instructor Trine C. Jensen.

The two days will include but not limited to:

• Warm-ups
• Mocap specific terminology and skills
• In-game movement
• Animal work
• Physical environment building
• Scene work

Trine(…)’s Mocap Workshop is a favorite. They are expert at putting their experience into practice. We learned about the technical aspects of Mocap, and how to bridge classic acting techniques with Mocap tech. Focusing on my character’s physicality, I could see my character come to life. We worked in the Mocap suits, and that’s when it all came together, my work was full of life and heart. I’m now confident and prepared for Mocap work and auditions. Highly recommend.
