Pascal Langdale’s Motives in Movement enters mo-cap film industry
Pascal Langdale, the star of Quantic Dream title Heavy Rain, has launched a motion capture company called Motives in Movement.
The company claims to use a new method of generating and re-using mo-cap narrative film for games based on character behavior. MIM say this can cut mo-cap costs by around 30%.
The new technology is based around catagorising behavior, and producing pre-filmed reaction and expression libraries which can be inserted into later scenes to reduce filming times and increase the available footage for individual narrative moments.

Didn't I see something like this elsewhere?..oh yeah, www.centroidonline.com :)
I think this is different from what centroid offers. I looked at the website motivesinmovement.com and
it looks like this company is offering an actor specific library..more emotions etc...not physical moves...a different approach??
Its easier just to shoot the mocap, honestly.
Miles, out side of generic anims for crowds and back grounds, I couldn't agree more!
