During the two-day course, you'll gain insights into the methods of mocap and understand the mocap process. But that's not all - the most exciting part of the workshop is the opportunity to suit up and perform in the mocap volume yourself.
You'll be guided through a real-world mocap shoot, working with a director and scene to capture your performance, and receive witness reference video of scenes for your demo reel.
This experience will not only be a valuable addition to your acting resume, but it will also give you a taste of what it's like to work on a professional mocap set.
