Actor Noshir Dalal covers the nuances of performance capture and the gaming industry.
Full performance capture, as well as motion capture — both are artistic performances and everyone’s approach is different. For myself, I try to figure out what is the overarching theme, which is the emotional hook. That is the linchpin that defines everything that I do.
