Abstract

Facial motion capture is used to capture the intimate and subtle motions of the facial features and apply them to a digital character’s face. Animation for the character, Davy Jones, in the Pirates of the Caribbean movies was achieved using this technique. In Overcoming the Obstacles of Motion Capture, I’ve tried to develop a relatively low-cost, yet high-performing technique suitable for a target market of students and independent artists.
