The 47 pages that link to Motion capture, each with the reason it gives.

• Voice actingCompared with: Motion capture records bodily movement, while voice acting centers on vocal performance.

• ActingRelated: It separates an actor's performed movement from the final appearance of a digital character.

• AnimationCompared with: Unlike drawing each pose, it transfers recorded movement to digital characters.

• Action filmRelated: It extends action performance into digitally created bodies and environments.

• Film actingCompared with: It makes bodily performance visible through a rendered figure rather than the actor's photographed image.

• Computer-generated imageryRelated: Motion capture transfers recorded performances to digital characters.

• Child actorCompared with: A digital character can depict a child without casting a child actor for every performance.

• Screen actingCompared with: It separates captured bodily performance from the visible live-action image.

• Dance notationCompared with: It encodes measured motion rather than relying on a reader to interpret symbols.

• KinematicsRelated: It turns observed positions over time into kinematic measurements.

• Practical effectsCompared with: Motion capture transfers performance into digital characters rather than physical puppets.

• Computer animationRelated: Captured performances can drive animated characters and objects.

• Visual effectsRelated: Captured performances can drive digital characters that share a scene with live actors.

• James CameronRelated: Cameron expanded its use to create expressive performances for Avatar’s Na’vi.

• Special effectRelated: Captured performances can drive digital characters and other computer-generated elements.

• Stunt performanceCompared with: It transfers movement to a digital character rather than presenting the physical feat directly.

• ActorRelated: Actors can supply recorded movement that animators translate into digital characters.

• Ang LeeRelated: Lee used performance-capture methods in Life of Pi to help realize its digitally created tiger.

• RotoscopingCompared with: Unlike rotoscoping, it transfers movement information rather than tracing image contours.

• Shah Rukh KhanRelated: Red Chillies’ visual-effects work connects Khan’s productions to digital filmmaking.

• Tom CruiseCompared with: Cruise's best-known action image emphasizes visible physical performance rather than a motion-captured avatar.

• Traditional animationCompared with: It derives animated motion from recorded performance instead of hand-drawn poses.

• Game controllerCompared with: Some games infer commands from tracked body movement, unlike controllers operated directly by hand.

• Inertial measurement unitRelated: Wearable IMUs track body movement without requiring cameras to see every joint.

• Sports biomechanicsRelated: Tracks body-segment positions to calculate movement patterns during sports skills.

• Superhero filmRelated: Superhero productions use it to combine actors’ performances with digitally created bodies and environments.

• Gait analysisRelated: Marker trajectories provide the positions used to calculate walking kinematics.

• Video game voice actingCompared with: Movement capture is distinct from voice recording, even when both contribute to one game performance.

• Wire fuCompared with: Motion capture transfers recorded movement to digital figures rather than lifting performers with cables.

• Live-action filmCompared with: It records physical performance but uses the data to generate imagery rather than show the performer directly.

• Peter JacksonRelated: Andy Serkis’s performance as Gollum combined acting with digital character animation.

• The IrishmanCompared with: The film’s de-aging avoided facial motion-capture markers, distinguishing its effects workflow from common performance-capture methods.

• AnimatronicsCompared with: Motion capture drives digital performances, while animatronics move physical bodies.

• Hollywood action filmRelated: Motion capture can carry human performance into digitally constructed action.

• Ray HarryhausenCompared with: It captures performed movement rather than posing a model for each animated frame.

• Silent film actingCompared with: Both depend on expressive movement, but motion capture records it for digital transformation.

• Sports scienceRelated: It makes sport movement measurable for biomechanical analysis.

• History of animationRelated: It connected performance capture to later character animation workflows.

• Grand Theft Auto VRelated: Performance capture helped give the protagonists' scenes cinematic detail.

• Sports video gameRelated: Captured athletic motion can give player animations recognizable weight and timing.

• Terminator 2: Judgment DayCompared with: The film relied chiefly on compositing and computer animation rather than performance-driven motion capture.

• Video cameraRelated: Specialized cameras track markers or features to reconstruct movement.

• WebcamCompared with: Unlike ordinary webcams, motion-capture systems are built to measure movement precisely.

• Avatar: Fire and AshRelated: Performance capture helps translate actors’ work into the film’s computer-generated Na’vi.

• History of film technologyRelated: It connects live performance to computer-generated imagery in modern filmmaking.

• Marge ChampionCompared with: Unlike modern motion capture, Champion’s performance served as visual reference rather than recorded movement data.

• VTuberRelated: It translates a performer’s movements into avatar motion.
