During my second and third years at Charles Sturt University, I worked with a group of incredible animation students to record motion capture for projects such as Friendly and Companies, and Skyblue.
It was amazing to learn what it’s like to be a motion capture artist. Gaining experience in such a specific mode of acting was a joy and came with many challenges. Embodying a character while wearing just a full body suit isn’t easy, but I listened to all the feedback I was given by the animation students after every take and incorporated it into my performance. At the end of each experience, I came out with so much more knowledge about how the process worked and how to give the best possible performance. The final products were amazing, and it is an experience I hope I get to recreate one day.
