About the course

Explore the possibilities of performing and creating with Motion Capture in this deep-dive one-day course at LAMDA’s brand-new facilities.

This course is an exciting opportunity for performers and creators to familiarise themselves with the fast-growing motion capture sector.

In this highly practical one-day session, participants will work in LAMDA's brand-new, 30-camera MOCAP studio, and learn how to perform with this cutting-edge technology.  

What will I learn? 

  1. Get ‘suited up’ and learn how to work practically inside a motion capture vault.  
  2. Understand motion capture terminology and the creative pipeline required for Motion Capture projects​​​​​​.
  3. Receive an immersive introduction to the basics of character creation, idles and walk cycles.

Is this course for me?

No previous experience of working with Motion Capture is necessary, but to get the most out of this course, you will have some performance or performance-adjacent experience.

This is a mixed level course, meaning participants will have a range of experiences.
