MOTION CAPTURE are terms used to describe the process of recording movement and translating that movement on to a digital model.
These types of techniques are used in military, entertainment, sports, and medical applications, and for validation of computer vision and robotics.
But when it comes In filmmaking, it refers to recording actions of human actors, and using that information to animate digital character models in 2D or 3D computer animation. When it includes face and fingers or captures subtle expressions, it is often referred to as performance capture.
Films like James Cameron's Avatar and Adventures of Tintin which were released in 2009 and 2010 respectively were involved in Performance capturing technology
Motion capture has begun to be used extensively to produce films which attempt to simulate or approximate the look of live-action cinema, with nearly photorealistic digital character models.The 2007 adaptation of the saga Beowulf animated digital characters whose appearances were based in part on the actors who provided their motions and voices. James Cameron's Avatar used this technique to create the Na'vi that inhabit Pandora. The Walt Disney Company has produced Robert Zemeckis's A Christmas Carol using this technique. In 2007, Disney acquired Zemeckis' ImageMovers Digital (that produces motion capture films), but then closed it in 2011, after a string of failures.
