Team Learning In Motion Capture Operations And Independent Rigging Processes

Abstract

This article discusses team learning activities among motion captures operators and how such occasions contribute to the producing successful on recording human movement. This paper specifically monitors between each team behaviors reacts, communicate members in performing successful optical motion capture tasks. Among task‘s component discussed in this article were team members ability to operate the equipment, calibrate, and most significantly, the social interaction between team in avoiding numerous of errors in motion capture operations. The tests were influenced of the reason of high requirement by animation industry in Malaysia, where most graduates are required highly skilled in multiple software platform. This study aim to obtain practice-based factors among team learning, which can be implement to the simulated start-ups environments, which can be applied and simulate beyond current education systems. Method— The motion capture test activities were advertised among undergraduate students, with unrestricted level of undergraduate and postgraduate students. Two tasks given, team-based task, and individual-based tasks. All participants were required to attend the tests which in 5 days duration. The required background of all participants skills in Motion Capture operations were not required, only with minimal multimedia knowledge background. Most of demographics were mixture gender participants with 11 animation students of (8 freshmen) and (3 sophomore) and divided into 3 teams. All task was based on test-time learning to all participants. Each team learning activities also observed with repeated Motion Capture operations and include individual tests. Results—The time-based team result showed all team successfully calibrated all process setup in Motion Capture accordingly, where the outcome indicated each team member communicate effectively in perform all operations tasks. In opposite of independent tasks, the findings indicated individual tasks took longer duration as compared team-based task. As a result, team of learners positively contributed to efficient productivity than individual learners. As conclusion, the study discovered the importance of practice-based learning in teams for staging production work and found new elements by acknowledging the differences and similarities in each team members work cultures and environments
