Motion Capture (or mocap) is the process of recording the position and the movement of objects or people. In filmmaking and video game development, it refers to recording actions of human actors, and using that information to animate digital character models in 3D computer animation.

Request

When DONTNOD Entertainment decided to develop the video game “Remember Me” they chose to hire Gabrielle Eychenne to play the lead part using Motion Capture. This long term collaboration (4 years) required many acting skills to play fast motion, fighting or emotional scenes.

Solutions

During 4 years, Gabrielle combined her acting and stunts skills. She was strongly involved in the creation of her character searching for influence to define her style, her expressions and her moves.

Working sessions were intensive including motion capture shooting, emotion miming, expression tracking.

Gabrielle’s experience with the Yamakasi (doing urban stunts) was really useful to emphasize the character’s strong personality.

Motion capture and stunt actress daily routine consists of a lot of warm-up sessions and technical experiments.
