I need to know the going rate on motion capture equipment. The only problem is, I don't know much about motion capture to know which method is best and most true-to-life. That is, is magnetic, optical, or mechanical the best way to capture?
I want to get a projected budget in as soon as I can for the investors, so I would really like some help on this. Please, if you can, search and find out for me. I am planning to have multiple (5+) people be captured simultaneously, and have them doing all kinds of acrobatics (diving, rolling, jumping, fighting, throwing each other, &c). Please, any help I will be greatly useful. In Jesus Christ's service, |

Just off the cuff, I think around $100,000-$300,000. I know that's a pretty useless statement, but it gives you a ballpark estimate. |

Is that for optical, mechanical, or magnetic? Looking at the companies I have, it looks like $100,000 is on the high end of things, for any of those technologies. |

That's probably optical and mechanical that I mentioned. Also, it was a couple of years ago; prices could have (and apparently have) dropped a lot as the technology has become more popular. |

This will be great to capture what people do in explosions! Thanks a lot! I was actually wondering how we'd actually get that... So, Mack, any other leads on good live-action motion capture stuff? Thanks! In Jesus Christ's service, [This message has been edited by jerryrowe (edited July 10, 2003).] |
