With more than a decade of experience, these award-winning artists explore the collaboration needed for capturing the best performance on set and in the booth. These disciplines range from directing performance, voice, animation, narrative, and cinematics. Drawing from their own experiences, the panelists will be highlighting the importance of leadership in their role in relation to each other and their actors.

Takeaway

Attendees will gain insight into how responsibilities across narrative production and gameplay animation can be shared on a motion capture set. These workflows will be demonstrated through both the presentations and a live mock performance capture session.

Intended Audience

This session is intended for game developers interested in gaining a deeper understanding of individual roles and their collaborations on performance capture shoots.
