You can see the more polished trailer for upcoming animation feature Henry Waltz, along with its faked approval green screen. (“The Limeligt Motion Picture Assosiation?” I don’t think so.) But even more than the finished thing, I loved this behind-the-scenes look at how the animation is being made. The creator, Emil Goodman, who’s based in Hungary, describes: “In this footage I captured my body-motions with a really cheap home-made motion capture system, and that’s how I move the flying vehicle’s wings. The green-screen footage was captured with a little compact camera in 720p. I have a beauty-dish on my head :) That’s my hat :)” The results are testament to what’s possible when you combine commonly available technology and tools with a large helping of creativity and imagination.
