Mocap Session Choreography Planning

On this page is the list of motions that I'm planning to record in June. Yes in June we'll be recording the mocap data! The rig has been aranged. It's going to be interesting! I will try to get my hands on a camcorder so we can record some video, which should be entertaining. I'll also call some people I know that have art studios at an old villa just outside the city, which should be an epic location to record! I'm sure they'll agree to help out.

By the way, this list is currently just what I can come up with, and I'm no expert. So it's mostly to let our expert know how I'm thinking at the moment, then he can help with the real list.

Also, I'll have to do some tests before recording on how we'll simulate "death". I don't think we'll mocap that. Perhaps we can find a way to interactively simulate ragdoll physics. An interesting project!
