April-June Contest Entries - Victor Sim

Description from the author:

The video is a very early work in progress video for a cutscene I have in mind. I haven’t created the 3D environment yet so I did some quick compositing to give an idea of what the environment and the vision I am going for is like.
Base motions were captured using 4 PS3 eyes with offset rotations added in some places (e.g. arm and head rotations). I didn’t use motion controllers in this one but plan on getting some in the future so I have information of the wrist rotations.
Final vision I have for this would be higher quality with a 3D environment, proper lighting, facial animations, VFX etc.

Jan-Mar Contest Entries - Charles A. Conyers, Jr.

Description from the author:

My name is Charles Conyers, a filmmaker from New York, and I would like to enter your competition with my animated short film called "Althea: Intergalactic Baddie," for which I utilized iPi motion capture with 2 Xbox 360 Kinects.
In "Althea," I used iPi to animate the creatures, as well as most of Althea's movements.

And this is a link to the "making of" video where I demonstrate examples from "Althea" and 2 other animated shorts I made, also using iPi to capture most of the animation.
