This course taught me the fundamentals of Motion Capture using a Vicon Optical Camera System.
Software: Vicon IQ, Blade 2.0, Autodesk Motion Builder, Autodesk Maya, Adobe After Effects
Throughout the course of the semester (Sept-Dec 2013) my team and I created an animated short film called “Antique” to showcase our skills.
