Visual Creations by Peter Van Schaik & Anonymous Smith
Synopsis: This work is loosely based on the writings of Voltaire's Candide. The sections being presented were created using motion capture technology. Smith created aesthetic movement while a 12-camera optical system recorded the 3-dimensional positions of the 41 reflective markings on his suit 120 times per second. Virtual worlds were computer-modeled separately and the motion capture data was then mapped onto humanoid models in those worlds. Subsequently, King created the score.
