For the CoP's creative response I wanted to try and create an animated piece that would demonstrate the visuality of using motion capture and keyframe animation. This means that I would be exploring the different ways of animating and how using different techniques will effect the outcome of my animations.
Because my essay is about the Uncanny Valley and how motion capture is one of the main reasons why the Uncanny Valley occurs, I will be trying to create an animation that shows the differences of using motion capture and keyframe animation and see if the Uncanny Valley will appear in both animations. I'm boing this because with the technology society has gotten greater, so people in the animation and film industry are wanting to try and make the best visuals in extraordinary places and use CG humans so that they can do so much more, however CG humans can be every hard to create and therefore if created badly they will fall into the Uncanny Valley theory. So I'm wanting to create is a character that doesn't look like a real human but using motion capture its movements will hopefully look human like, but also see if the Uncanny Valley will appear in the characters movements.
To create my animations the tools that I will use will be the software Maya, which is a 3D animation software, and another piece of equipment which uses 2 kinect cameras to track a persons movements for the motion capture side of this creative response. With the kinects I will use the software IPI which captures the data from what the kinects record and then I will be able to transfer that data to Maya and apply it onto the character that I will create. The character will be modelled and rigged in Maya by myself and then I'll animate it using keyframe animation.
