Claymation

A Carnegie Media Student produced this small claymation animation using premier pro software. The student made the figures using plasticine clay, the software created a ten frame per second sequence which although looks good is a little bit shaky.

A Whole World Created

James Cameron’s film Avatar not only creates the entire world that the film is set in, but it creates most of the characters and creatures which makes movie making out of this world.

Movement Capture

To create a realistic performance real actors are fitted with censors to capture the movement of the character this is then used by the animators to create the digital character.

Movement Capture 2

Another fine example of what can be done with movement capture. This created the character of Ceaser from the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes.

Movement Capture Demonstration
