Systems and methods for guiding motion capture actors using a motion reference system

Abstract:

The system provides movement guidance to an actor using a motion capture movement reference system. The motion capture movement reference system includes a light strip having an elongated substrate with lights positioned in series along a length of the elongated substrate and a computing device configured to program the lights with an illumination protocol. Operationally, a user inputs into the computing device one or more variables to establish a number of lights to simultaneously activate and/or a rate of activating and deactivating the lights along the length of the elongated substrate. The light strip is programmed based upon the one or more variables. When the lights are activated and deactivated along the length of the elongated substrate, an actor chases the lights.
