Performance capture, for me, is finding the essence of a performance.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Everybody thinks performance capture is about thrashing around and doing a lots of movement, but it's actually about being able to contain and think and be believed in a close-up, as much as anything else.
I am a bit evangelical, I know, but performance-capture is still misunderstood.
What's fantastic is that there's a real growing appreciation for performance-capture technology as a tool for acting.
Every performance is an opportunity to have something new or to learn something new.
My take is that acting is acting. A performance is a performance. With performance capture, if you don't get the performance on the day, you can't enhance the performance.
A recording of a performance is a recording of a performance. It's not the performance.
Performing is just standing up there and doing something. Performance takes on an edge to it. It has a more dramatic context.
Performance is always something that will be a part of my career.
Good performance is about the capacity to focus and concentrate.
Performance capture is a technology, not a genre; it's just another way of recording an actor's performance.
