Yesterday a group of students from Bucks went to visit the Motion Capture studio
Centroid, based in
Pinewood Studios.
Motion Capture, sometimes called "Performance Capture", is an animation
technique which captures real-time actor's performances and turns them
into digital data which can be used to create animated characters - like
the character "Gollum" played by Andy Serkis in
The Lord of The Rings.
Bucks
and Centroid are pioneering a partnership that will offer Centroid
opportunities for research and development, and also give the students a
chance to use a leading industry facility for their student films. It's
just the kind of thing that universities should be doing - partnering
with industry to create a mutually beneficial relationship.
