mocap
Sensor suit filming
Mocap is short for motion capture, a technology that records human movement and translates it into digital animation.
Actors wear suits with sensors or reflective markers while cameras track their positions, allowing animators to create realistic character movement in films, video games, and virtual productions: The fight scenes were done with mocap.
