Description from the author:
This a short animation I made of a leprechaun trying to sneak some food from a pub. I made it to test out iPi Soft's motion capture software.
I used one Kinect camera for the video. All of the animation was done with motion capture (except for him climbing onto the counter) using iPi Mocap Recorder and Studio. I had to record in a small space, so I had do a bunch of small animations and stitch them together (you can see the transitions). It is modeled and rendered in Blender. I'd like to improve the fluid animation as well as render out a higher resolution of the video (Just this small resolution took 4 days to render).
Anyway, I'm very happy with iPi Soft's program, it is an easy to use yet quite powerful, an unbelievable solution to motion capture for those on a budget. The possibilities with something like this are tremendous!
