  Motion Capture Reference Camera Operator

  As a Motion Capture Reference Camera Operator on Life is Strange: Double Exposure, I was responsible for capturing critical visual data that informed the animation process for character performances. Working closely with the motion capture team, I operated specialized cameras to record the physical movements and expressions of actors during live performances. This footage was essential in ensuring the animations in the game were realistic and true to the actors' performances, contributing to the emotional depth and authenticity that Life is Strange is known for. My role required precision, attention to detail, and a deep understanding of both the technical and creative aspects of the production process. Show less
