One of the animations from the project “People with Disabilities as Actors in Motion Capture Sessions” funded by Polish Ministry of Science and Innovative Economy European Union Programme under the track ‘University of Young Inventors’. Project has been conducted by The Digital Masters. Centre for Games and Animations, University of Lower Silesia with the collaboration of the 3rd High School of Wroclaw.
This animation was rendered on the basis of a mocap session involving Paweł, who uses a wheelchair. The film is the example of integration activity ensuing from great opportunities provided by a mocap system. One interesting Hollywood strategy is a digital integration of bodies of two actors. It was employed in films, such as “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button” and “Capitan America”. Paweł took part in a gripping take where an actor with disabilities was supposed to act as the upper part of the body of tyrannosaurus, while an able-bodied actor was supposed to act as the lower limbs. His minor hand weakness (matching the nature tyrannosaurus’s movement) made the whole part look really natural, even though it was performed by two people simultaneously.
