For my creative response I've researched into motion capture and the different techniques to which I can capture my performance and I have also researched into how the human body moves so that I can get the best quality performance out of the key framed animation.
There are many different ways in which I can capture my performance, these include using Optical Passive which uses retro reflective markers that are tracked by infrared cameras. Optical Active uses LED markers connected by wires to the motion capture suit. Video / Markerless does not require markers, instead relies on software to track the subjects' movement. And finally Inertrail is a technique that does not require cameras except as a localiser tool, Inertrail sensors are worn by the subject and the data is transferred wirelessly to the computer.
I feel that for my motion capture I will use the Markerless technique because for me it is the easiest to use and unfortunately the college aren't equipped with the industry standard equipment for motion capture. However, for what I'm wanting to do with the motion capture the Markerless technique will work perfectly well. For this technique I've been shown a software by one of my tutors called IPI, which uses two Kinect cameras pointed at a 45 degree angle towards the subject.
The software is a free download program provided by IPI soft LLC, for capturing, playing back and processing video recordings from multiple cameras and Beth sensors.

I feel like this will get me a good result of what I'm wanting to capture which is me performing as a boxer because I'm not moving my feet as much so I'll be in a stationary position.
