Focusing on the organization aspects of animation based on a live performer, this book explains the importance of creating a motion list and flowchart of all motions that will be captured during a session, surveys factors to consider when selecting a motion capture studio, and walks through the process of choosing the number of seconds or frames of each motion captured that will be processed and delivered.
