A physical day of exercises, play and exploration as well as some theory on the technology and methodology of how motion and performance capture works with industry veteran Richard “Mocapman” Dorton. This is a chance to build a solid foundation for working in performance capture.

Spend the day learning the difference between cinematic and In-game movement creation to discovering what animators and directors want out of their performance capture talent. Explore video game scripts, the importance of improv, the world of pure imagination and more tips and tricks than you would expect in an intro class from someone who’s been working in the Performance Capture world for over 25 years.

Time: 10am to 5:00pm on Saturday August 23rd 2025

Location:
Screenland Studios,
10501 Burbank Blvd,

This class does not take place in a mocap studio as it would only serve as a distraction and additional cost at this stage.
