'''Motion Capture Animation''' is a technique used to create a 3D animation, driven by a live performance. An array of cameras is used to record certain points of light on an actor or other object. Computers then process each cameras recording (sometimes in real time), and render a wireframe outline of the [[actor]] or object. <ref>http://lordoftherings.net</ref>

Newer films such as ''The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe'' and ''Pirates of The Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest'' have begun to use the technologies of motion capture in an on-location environment. <ref name="cgw.com">[http://www.cgw.com/ME2/dirmod.asp?sid=&nm=&type=Publishing&mod=Publications%3A%3AArticle&mid=8F3A7027421841978F18BE895F87F791&tier=4&id=04710F929E7342599A212BFDACBD71D0 http://www.cgw.com]</ref>

An example of this would be the character Tumnus the Faun in ''The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe''. In this film, the animators use [[greenscreen]] material pants, equipped with motion capture lights, to digitally create [[goat]]’s legs on a human. <ref name="LWW"/>

==Facial Motion Capture==

Motion Capture has been adapted for use at capturing facial expressions, for fully CGI characters. However, a technique called [[electroculography]] is better suited for replicating eye movements. <ref name="cgw.com"/>
