Motion Capture (Intro)

This 1-day, 6-hour introductory workshop is aimed at filmmakers who are interested in learning how to record and export motion capture data using Rokoko suits and software recently acquired by DARC.

This is an in-person workshop offered at Digital Arts Resource Centre (67 Nicholas St, Ottawa). To participate in this workshop, all participants must be fully vaccinated and wear a mask while on site at DARC.

The day will be divided into two halves, with a one-hour lunch break in between:

First half of the workshop (10am-1pm): Participants will first learn about different motion caption systems and specifically about how the wi-fi based Rokoko system works.

They will be introduced to the Rokoko software and learn how to create projects and how to use the free library of available prerecorded motion capture files.

Finally, they will be introduced to the Rokoko suits and gloves and learn how to put them on, connect them to the battery packs and how to connect them to a wi-fi router.

Second half of the workshop (2pm-5pm): Participants will be shown how to create actor profiles, how to calibrate the suits and gloves, and how to record and export scene takes. Everyone will have a chance to wear the Rokoko suits and record using the software.
