NPR: Motion Capture Mockumentary

Motion Capture Mockumentary

Filed under:

Today on the BPP, we'll talk to motion capture actor Kenny Bell. He plays a slew of NFL players in the Electronic Arts video game "Madden NFL '08." While Kenny is proud of his work on the virtual gridiron, his dream is to make it in the actual NFL. But if that doesn't work out, maybe he can take heart in the not-at-all true story of Michael White.

Thanks to Ryan McFaul for the video.

After the jump, check out how "Mo-Cap" really works.

Great video, reminded me of this:

It's another short mockumentary, but this time the focus is on using motion capture instead of hand-keyed animation.
