Behind the Production
In partnership with Monkey Chow Animation Studios, creators of the Run for Your Life 3D motion pack, all mocap animations have been meticulously performed by professional stunt actors at Motion Capture Orlando’s new studio, equipped with 38 Vicon cameras and run by a rock-solid crew.
Witness the creation of these amazing 3D motions:
Bank Heist includes some of the major story beats of an armed robbery and was inspired by my favorite films like Heat, Inside Man, and The Town. I went a little bit crazy on this one and got to play a filmmaker. We developed a narrative chain of events to get the story rolling!

Sophisticated Motion Editing with iClone
Monkey Chow’s raw data underwent refinement within iClone , a real-time 3D character animation tool. iClone streamlined the process by offering rapid real-time animations, swift motion correction, mocap animation editing, seamless blending, and precise actor-object interactions within the scene.
We edited the clips in iClone. We had to tighten up weapon placement, refine prop interactions, and integrate moving set pieces. The most complicated one was actually the vault. Andress used a roll of tape to enter the combination and pulled a scaffold to open the vault door.
We were able to construct our CGI vault door model to match the measurements of the sets, and we used reach targets to temporarily connect the hand to the dial, so the motions of the hand were driven by the movement of the dial. Additional animation layers compensated for grabs and releases as the combination was entered.

Users have the flexibility to use these 61 motions as they are or enhance them by combining them with other motions using iClone 8’s new motion editing features.
