Motion Capture
Project Morningstar
I am the lead animator for Project Morningstar’s cinematics team. We produce short episodes showcasing different factions to go along with our 3D printable miniature models.
Responsible for motion capture cleanup, scene management, and asset implementation.
Unreal’s retargeting tools let us iterate quickly during previs, then we take the animations into blender for additional cleanup.
