Last week, Feirstein hosted a Motion Capture Workshop with Director, VFX Artist & Animator Brandon Robinson! The workshop provided an overview of motion caption usage in film, VR, and TV! Students were then able to demonstrate Feirstein's Rokoko motion capture suits and experience a hands-on capture session before importing the Data into Maya and Unity and attaching it to a 3D model!

All screenings will be followed by a Q&A with the Director.
