The biggest thing these past 2 weeks was our Motion Capture session,which gave me plenty to work on afterwards. Rob set up the studio, and I was not there until the second part of the session, so I missed everything Kevin acted for, but was present for the entirety of Aviva’s. We set up a Google Sheets doc, and took down notes for each take, which has been very helpful. Since I was not there for Kevin’s part of the session, I suggested Rob and I split up the work by who was actually in the studio. Kevin’s parts were more complicated, but there were a lot more takes for Aviva’s, so I thought it seemed fair, but Rob has been talking a lot about how what he has to clean up is harder than what I’m working on. I’m not sure if he’s bragging or complaining ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.
So far I have exported 18 shots, and have looked through a bunch more that I determined were not good to use. First I do the Blade post-processing pipeline, and I watch the capture clip several times from different angles. One thing I have found to be helpful is to hide everything except for the solving bone, since it is what gets exported, and it is easier to spot any jerky movements than on the labeling bone. Almost all of the shots I have worked on are fairly simple, and the actor remains upright the entire time. There were some mistakes in the session, the two biggest ones were that a hand marker was on Aviva’s thigh for 17 takes, but it’s not a huge issue since the hands usually don’t give fine data, and have more markers than truly needed. The second is that the boots seemed to be a little loose, and flopped a lot when they hit the floor, and the takes that have running lose the auto label on most steps. That has mostly just created more work for clean up, but may have made the data overly shaky. I am making good use of the spreadsheet though, and taking detailed notes on the specifics of each take. Other than that I modeled a tower, which I was intending to make a lighthouse, but I think I would rather use this design for a simple tower, and save the lighthouse for something more obvious.
