#AskCentroid thank you everyone for taking part!

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@LuisaGuerreiro4 one really big one

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@LuisaGuerreiro4 no one has asked me how many Smarties it would take to fill the whole of Wembley yet so no 😀
(you probably have to be old like me for that one to land)

@LuisaGuerreiro4 @Centroid3D @americandad you don't put markers on the backs of the legs. These people are amateurs 😀

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@markjosephactor @Centroid3D It's a simple tried and tested formula 😀
a) be nice
b) not be nice

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

#AskCentroid Hi all! I have coffee, I have chocolate biscuits, and I'm here to answer any questions you have about motion capture!

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@LuisaGuerreiro4 @philstilgoe @Centroid3D ...no need for pornography thank you

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@LuisaGuerreiro4 @Centroid3D We have a client who bring tubs of M&S sweet treats to each shoot - flapjacks, chocolate rolls, rocky road. The gesture geniunely makes me go all fluttery. My dentist bills are astronomical but i've always wanted teeth like Jaws from James Bond

@Heather_Tracy Performance is key. If you can convincingly portray a character while standing in the middle of a motion capture volume wearing an odd suit you're more of less there 😀

@jessicajcasting @Centroid3D You know change frightens me

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@jessicajcasting @Centroid3D Until the vegan brownies...

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@themocapvaults @MrSmifford ...always a pleasure 😀

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@Heather_Tracy ...in either case, a client will have a brief for the talent they require and this could literally be anything! Part of our job is to find the best person for that role.

@Heather_Tracy Body capture shoots tend to be more physical and may call for a specific skill set (martial arts, dance, military, etc.). Full performance shoots (body+face capture) focus more on what I would classically term as acting...

@LuisaGuerreiro4 Actual - animals, large scale locations, live TV
Almost but not - an erect penis #DontAsk

@Roboben1 Working with motion data is a very specific field. If we look to expand our post team in the future I'm afraid we would start by looking for candidates with previous experience first
#AskCentroid

[Stoo Haskayne @st00bing]

@LuisaGuerreiro4 @Centroid3D A combination of our own database and great casting agencies. We just want to find the best talent for our clients 😀

@BlackoutShooter We have a library of motion capture files available for purchase - https://t.co/r699Cqz8lZ - that could be a good start. We also have more cost effective solutions for shooting including options for half day or remote sessions

@LuisaGuerreiro4 @jessicajcasting I have very strong cheekbones 😀
