Last Tuesday me, my lead an our art producer went on a trip to Krakow to record some motion capture for our brilliant game. We hired a fairly new studio “Alvernia Studios”. Their website can be found at http://www.alverniastudios.com/
I can strongly recommend this studio already. Brilliant people to work with in an enormous studio with top high-end equipment at their disposal. The material we got from them are really top notch.

It was my first time going to a mocap recording session. I must say it was a great experience and I learned a lot. It felt very different tellin a person how to move, and trying to convey the feeling of an animation to him, rather than a piece of software on a computer. It was very cool seeing the raw result instantly on a monitor as well. Once we actually got the cleaned mocap material I had much greater understanding of what it should look like in the end as well since I was there when it was actually recorded, watching the actor doing his moves.
