Published today at CBC is my article on performance capture, which looks at how the technology was used to create emotional characters and scenes in Enslaved: Odyssey to the West and Fight Night Champion.

James Cameron, the director of some of the film industry’s biggest blockbusters, quipped in 2009 that, ‘Actors don’t do motion; they do emotion.’ He was at San Diego’s Comicon at the time, talking about his then yet-to-be-released film Avatar and how the technological process known as performance capture was going to revolutionize filmmaking.
