Project Mariposa

One of the most vibrant art forms that came out and evolved over the last century, the art of animation, has undergone dramatic shifts and trends, and has grown into one of the most influential media over the last few decades. Currently the used techniques fall into one of two dominant paradigms: Either traditional trained animators create key-frame poses for computer tools, or an actress/actor performs the desired motion, and motion capture techniques map them to computer models. In fact, most production houses are polarized among one of these two extremes. The goal of this project is to bridge the gap between these two extremes.
