The Plot Mark, a well-meaning college student, volunteers for Earth’s first inter-species exchange program and must come to terms with his new alien roommate Gonk: an insufferably superior slob whose only interest in humanity is the intoxicating effect of its carbonated beverages. The story is told through sit down interview sessions with Mark and documentary footage of their life together.
Live Action Unit Mark: Joe Anderson Gonk Stand-In: Nathan Brue Director: Tim Little Camera: Tim Little Lighting: David Waagenar Production Sound: Ethan Faure / Rob Davis / Charlie McPike Production Assistant: Peter Worwag
Motion Capture Unit Gonk Mocap Performance: Nathan Brue / Ethan Faure Technical Director: Tim Little Mocap PA: Peter Worwag / Ethan Faure Animation Cleanup & Editing: Tim Little
Now that Gonk has been updated with a full-body FK/IK control rig I am able to start hand-keying some of the more complex animation sequences. Nathan Brue, my mocap performer, did an admirable job of matching his movements to the footage but this shot requires a perfect synchronization between the live action bottle and Gonk's hands, which means lots of animation on my part.
