CG Channel recently did an interview with Jeff Chamberlain and Fausto De Martini from Blizzard Entertainment on their new animated cinematic for Wrath of the Lich King.

It is a good read despite some of the fluff at the begin. I also recommend checking out the videos and pictures. They a great idea of what quality level Blizzard is working with. It is a great brief look at what goes into a production.

The use of motion-capture for previs work is interesting. Quick layout rather than animating a camera move. I don't know much about how motion capture is implemented, so I am not sure how this would be executed with a "camera".
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about mocap cameras when I read the article as well. First thing that jumped to my mind was using a Wiimote, somehow. Or a real video camera shooting perhaps in a space that's full of registration marks, so that extracting the true move in 3D could be fairly easy as a post-process?
