Motion
Capture is also known by another term, Performance Capture. Motion
Capture is the process where movements are captured by the
actor’s performance.This includes placing markers on the actor’s body. This is
carried out in special environments in which the actor wears a special suit,
markers and motion capture equipment is available for example infrared cameras
and magnetic tracking markers.
Key Frame animation is the process of drawing the character on on frame then simply trace it then draw the next part to create the walk cycle.This is traditionally seen in 2D animation packages such as Adobe Flash CC.This is commonly used by animators who work on projects for companies such as Cartoon Network, Disney, Dream Works etc.
Both methods are useful for the advanced character animation project as they helped the student to understand the project from an actor's perspective.This is what is needed to complete the advanced character animation project.That is why it was best for the students to think of themselves as the characters in the environment.
Below is the breakdown for the movie Ted showing the three elements of production at the sane time. One part shows motion capture, computer generated visual effects,and finally the video.

This is a tutorial for cleaning up motion capture data using Autodesk Motion Builder. This stage of the process is an important stage as it can either make the motion capture sequence a success or a failure.The reason why this particular video was chosen for this topic was because it had the teddy bear which matched the idea for the advanced character animation project.
This topic made sense as to why motion capture would be a useful contribution to the advanced character animation project as it allowed the user to understand the importance of action out the story as the main character within the animation.

This is a youtube video for the cleaning process for the Motion Capture Data in Motion Builder.
To understand the theory of motion capture a 3D version of Daffy Duck was provided by the lecturer.The task was to create a small animation that would be sufficient enough to analyse and critic.To be specific the class were meant to make a walk cycle for Daffy Duck then show the animation to the class to get feedback on the emotions.
The emotion for this video was suppose to be a confident walk which was evident in the posture and pose at the beginning of the animation.However the animation may appear to be blocky but that was just to get the key frames into place for the final review.
