Acting For Videogames Part 1: Gameplay Locomotion
This video is to help actors from all over the world who may not have access to motion capture workshops or be able to afford one. This video will help actors understand what is needed for character gameplay locomotion.
As an actor who has worked in videogames for many years, I realised there wasn't a video online that could help actors understand what they may need to do on a shoot for gameplay characters.
