Live Link Face is a great way to animate characters for Virtual Production in Epic's Unreal Engine, but it can overheat your phone, forcing the motion capture to slow down. But with a phone cooler like this one you can run LiveLinkFace all day and the phone will stay cool, but without getting TOO cold which could damage the battery. Much safer than using ice packs from the freezer!
Seems like an obvious idea but I haven't seen anyone use it yet, so I thought I would put up a quick tip video.
To see a lot of the tools and gadgets I use all in one place, check out my page on Amazon. Check back often as I'm still building the page. As an amazon affiliate I earn a little money to support the channel if you order from these amazon links, there is no extra cost to you.

I'm using the Black Shark Fun Cooler Pro 2, available from amazon here https://amzn.to/3FM6hrU (paid link) this is for older phones without magnetic mounts. There are lots of other models that work with the magnetic mounts on newer iPhones.
