A prototype Sony system uses a physical rig to control a virtual camera in a 3D space.
— were able to direct and capture motion capture footage live on a stage instead of waiting to receive the footage after the fact.
Normally, virtual effects specialists will receive motion capture footage from a team and use that to create final footage, but in this case, the specialists were able to actually work directly with the motion capture actors to create custom scenes live in the virtual space. This was made possible thanks to Sony Playstation’s large motion capture space that uses traditional cameras to build out a whole space virtually.
From there, the Pixomodo team was able to use an unusual shooting system that replaces a real camera with a set of motion capture balls that the computer recognizes as a camera’s position in a 3D space. That information is sent to a monitor on the capture rig and allows the operator to move the camera around that 3D space in the same way that a traditional camera operator navigates reality.
