The CoreHMC in action for one of the most unique uses of performance capture we have ever been a part of.

Owen Seabrook has done it again! Another awesome episode of Will It MoCap? showcasing just how far you can push a mocap system when you bring together full-body tracking, high-quality facial capture from Captive Devices, and a seriously creative approach. From the tech to the performance (and yes… the lyrics), it’s a brilliant reminder that motion capture isn’t just about precision, it’s about storytelling and experimentation. If you’re even remotely interested in performance capture, this series is a must-watch.

Will it Mocap? Episode 3 is LIVE and this time, we've kicked things up a notch... 👺 After some unsolicited slander from a few uppity Wizards, Owen Seabrook the Goblin King of Goblin Academy did what any reasonable ruler of a mystical realm would do: fired up Unreal Engine, built a MetaHuman Goblin King avatar, strapped on a Captive Devices for facial capture, and recorded a banger. 🎧 This episode, we push our indie mocap studio into the world of real-time metahumans, and the results are... genuinely kind of incredible?

The seven things winning organizations have in common — from Episode 1 of The Signal: 1. Speed. First credible voice sets the frame. 2. Volume. Same message, multiple formats, multiple voices. 3. Direct. Fifth-grade reading level. Clarity over nuance. 4. Simple. One core frame. Everything connects back to one thing. 5. Visual. Text disappears. Video stays. 6. Reframe. Don't play defense on your opponent's terms. 7. Arm the army. Your members are your most credible messengers. None of these are new ideas. What's new is that AI has made all seven executable for organizations that don't have a two-million-dollar communications budget. Full episode: https://lnkd.in/gyyqqENH

What do successful vertical dramas do first? In this conversation, Bradley Peake and Samantha Sun break down one of the biggest truths in the space: the verticals that connect are not driven by logic first — they are driven by emotion. Betrayal. Desire. Heartbreak. Tension. Chemistry. That emotional hit is what pulls viewers in and keeps them watching. Add strong chemistry between actors and familiar tropes with a fresh wrapper, and you start to see why some verticals cut through and others do not. A really strong insight into where the format is heading and what creators need to understand if they want to make vertical drama that works. #VerticalDrama #MicroDrama #MicroDramaUK #BradleyPeake #SamanthaSun #TheVerticalView

🇨🇭⚜️🦜🐸   There is a point   where constant algorithm swings   stop being “normal dynamics”   and start feeling like a theatre   that no one asked to watch.  Professional visibility   should not depend   on artificial volatility.   Some of us are simply tired   of this game.   🖤🌙🐆
