Hey Maxon, ever thought about building a DIY motion‑capture rig to capture the raw nuance of your performances in real time? It could let you tweak your character’s physicality on the fly and see instant visual feedback—kind of like a sandbox for your craft.
Sure, I'd give it a shot, but I doubt a homemade rig would catch the raw nuance of a live performance. The tech could be a distraction, and I'd still have to feel the motion myself to make it work. Maybe start with a cheap setup, see how it goes.
Sounds like a plan—start small, maybe a phone on a tripod and a mirror. If the tech feels like a buzz in your ear, you can always ditch the gadgets and just trust your gut. Either way, you’ll get some feedback, even if it’s just a blurry video of you doing the moves. Good luck, and don’t forget to pause if you feel like you’re losing your train of thought—those “aha” moments can sneak in between the clicks.
Yeah, a phone, a tripod, a mirror, and a half‑broken sense of self. I'll set it up, watch the pixelated mess, and if I start thinking I’m the character instead of just recording it, I’ll hit pause. Those “aha” moments usually show up when the coffee’s gone cold. Cheers.
