There is no doubt that the latest methods of animation capture are very good and much superior to previous methods, which shows clearly in the movie, which is very well done btw.
I would suggest that having either more than one model showing the animations so that you can show the full movement in a shorter time, and or, overlays of the same model at different stages of the animation, but thats just me being overly picky  . Excellent job._____________________

Nice work Dave
I used to play keyboards in an Egyptian Band ( In Brighton UK), and I recognised a lot of these moves. Superb Snake Arms....  I am guessing these moves came from a Mo-Cap.......right.?? By the way I love your stand poses, Me and my Thespian alts have AOs stuffed to the gills with your stuff...LOL Now if Only SL would give us some more options with animating the face....... |

AWM - that's exactly the sort of feedback I was hoping for, thanks! Now to just find some willing models lol!
Orfeu - another fellow Brightonian - we're getting quite a presence in SL now huh! Yeah, the dances were made using mocap - the Brighton's own Animazoo gypsy 5 mocap system to be precise - see: www.animazoo.com . Facial animation - it's got to happen one day, here's hoping it's sooner rather than later! cheers, ;-Dave |

I know you know we have Nex-Core Model Management, but are you aware we also own WBA-Advertising? http://www.wba-advertising.com What we do is make some of the finest movies in SL, and offer a 'full turnkey solution' in that we not only create sets, write storyboards, script, create animations, post produce and edit, compose music tracks and sound effects, have our own actors and models via Nex-Core Model Management, also host and stream all our own movies from our 5 dedicated servers (totalling now 10.6tb bandwidth) into SL and show it on our own version of the Silver Stream Media Network screen/players. BTW, we have a secret project we are working on atm, which we will be releasing on the 21st March in SL, that will interest you .. more later._____________________
