April 2022 : Doctor Who, 3D scanning & Motion Capture

The third episode of Devious has finally made it to You Tube. It had a mini Premiere at the DWAS 2022 convention.

Episode 3 of Devious

Wow! What an Easter weekend I’ve had. Hooking up with one of my long term collaborators and dear, Brother from another Mother and we spent the weekend working on film stuff that we’ve been looking into over the past few years.

Above is an image of a 3d scan of myself done with a Xbox 360 Kinect. And below are screen shots of my motion capture tests and 3D body scanning.

This was achieved by using 4 Xbox Kinect 360’s and a variety of software. We were amazed at the results. I have played around with this method on and off for a few years, but only really now have I turned my attention to utilizing this method for movie making purposes.

Also this month has seen the weather become more beautiful, allowing me to take my best bud; the Moo, to the beach.

Also I played with other programmes which allowed other tests of motion and face capture.

Finally one of my Extra Actors (supporting artists or S.A’s) for her first speaking role in a BBC tv show. In Gentleman Jack my old Bud, Anick Wiget won the role of, ‘Woman who runs a shack in Switzerland!’ I believe her character had a name and she had two lines……which she recorded an audition for at my house, which I shall say I gave some direction after the first take, but they needed a swedish speaking actress! So who knows why the chose her? I’ll take the answer that she’s, bloody great and I filmed her audition tape and played Suranne Joneses character in the audition (of camera, I didn’t have to put on a wig or anything!)

Anyway, there one goes. The Month of April. A Month that I will wrap up by going on holiday with my beautiful Wife, Helen.
