Puppets to Pixels - Using live physical puppet performances for digital animation characters and creatures
Live physical whole-puppet performances can be used to drive digital animation characters and creatures via puppix, a new capture system. The benefits of having a live puppet character in the room with actors, directors and other characters are demonstrated and discussed, as well as practical processes of capturing non-human physicalities.
