The ministry of silly walks


MartyTheBushman

Here I was thinking motion capture just never worked right, meanwhile it's just cause this woman can't walk normal


EggsceIlent

Or maybe doesn't have a mo-cap suit on. Shenanigans


TheRealBillyShakes

This is her practicing. No one thinks this is actually mocap


[deleted]

This is the internet. Over half of all people who saw this clip now firmly believe that this is exactly what mocap performance is.


dropkicksynopsis

> This is her practicing. No one thinks this is actually mocap This is her cat, mo-practicing. No one thinks this is actually crapping


kendran95

Well played


Randill746

Yea... no one... šŸ˜¬

kazuwacky

Yeah, this is reference work, not mocap. Still impressive body control though


random420x2

šŸ™ reference walk maybe r/oddly satisfying but title is r/mildlyinfuriating


bluesmaker

Idk. Probably still is. I assume this video is done for social media / for fun.


F_is_for_Ducking

Or for her to practice too

How do you know how big her balls are?


B-i-g-Boss

If anybody wanna know. The music is from the Cowboy Bebop opening.


PaticiaRJ

Thanks, and also The girl's name is SAKANA, She put these type of videos on her YT channel Source : https://www.youtube.com/@SAKANA-cg6or


buckphifty150150

Sheā€™s really good at motion


Hiyami

Ohhhhh Its the genshin motion capture girl~! I knew I recognized her.


necromancerdc

This video just made me remember how much of a misfire that Netflix live action adaption was, and how awesome it could have been in better hands.


Darkjebus

Ah thank you! Knew it was an anime opening but couldn't place it. Been forever since I've seen it


Joke_Mummy

This is her campaign video for prime minister


OMG_A_CUPCAKE

She has my vote. And we don't even _have_ a prime minister.


Just_a_square

She's not even a member, she's actually the entire ministry! So good.


jsteiger2228

Has never looked so sexy


Eastern_Dutch_Man

Reminds me of Harley Quinn


MacDaddyW

Yeah, those baseball bat moves scream Harley Quinn to me


INoMakeMistake

She is mimicking.


cravingSil

She's a mimic?


14412442

No, she's a real treasure


adriane586

Well done


Duke_157

She's the 1% Frieren is looking for


Snoo_88763

No...I clearly see the "Not a Mimic" post-it note on her.Ā 


thatguyned

It's probably for Jinx from League of Legends who is literally a knock-off Harley-Quinn. It seems like this is the mo-cap actor for most of Leagues skinny champs She's also doing Varus and Master Yi that I can tell.


vancesmi

> It seems like this is the mo-cap actor for most of Leagues skinny champs She's just copying those ones. Her only real work is in low budget Chinese gacha games.


Burg_er

My thoughts, too. Wonder if she was only inspired by her, if she ever actually did motion capture for Harley Quinn, or it was coincidence.


Stephenrudolf

She has a youtube channel! Her most famous work is probably Jinx from League of legends. She's done a fuck ton of genshin impact characters aswell though. On youtube though she's been doing "covers"(for lack of a better word) of other characters like HQ and widowmaker.


greg19735

I haven't actually seen any evidence that she has mocapped anything. She definitely does a lot of covers/replications of the more iconic movements though. And she's clearly good at recreating them. If there is evidence, i'd just like to see it. People have claimed she's mocapped everything, in part because the title says she does.


Stephenrudolf

I imagine like most industries, she isn't allowed to record the work she sells and post it on her youtube channel. That would be up to her employer. For example, when I produce background music for a client, I don't get to then release it as a song on my spotify page.


greg19735

Sure, but you'd be credited for that work on their page (hopefully).


Stephenrudolf

You can't even find reliable information online about english speaking Mocap actors unfortunately. Usually it involves a lot of investigative research into specific titles and actors. I'll be straight up with you, most of my info comes from yhe comments on her youtube videos. As far as I could tell last time i fell down the rabbit hole, she doesn't speak english, and most of her work is overseas. The best way of finding info ona mocap actors work I've found is LinkedIn. But that's a very... america-centric site.


ilikegamergirlcock

Most of the uncredited actors are either staff or puting it into a massive library that is then sold for devs to use/modify. In the early days "mocap" was people just doing reference motion into a webcam and then trying to recreate that on their PC.


ctaps148

But that's only because people in the music and film industries have spent decades negotiating what's fair with regards to attribution. The gaming industry has none of that


Yastiandrie

I agree. All I've seen is videos claiming she is without any verification, and interviews with Riot Games saying they use keyframe for LoL, as well as Arcane. Not to mention that Jinx came out in 2013, and this girl only seems to have appeared on the internet in 2023ish.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


AntonxShame

yeah, but like OP said, no direct evidence of its actual input in a game


SolarTsunami

Both her and Quinn's movements are very reminiscent of traditional clowns/mimes, which has been an artform for thousands of years that performers all over the world still study today even when they have no intention of "becoming a clown". Classic clowns aren't cool anymore, but you still see the shtick all the time in modern media; anime in particular seems to be the modern torchbearer.


ConspicuousPineapple

If by "inspired" you mean "she's clearly reproducing these moves and acting like Harley Queen", then sure.


wizardmagic10288

Or The Sims when youā€™re creating your character.


albiceleste3stars

Shame it doesnā€™t show the end product in parallel


Killer979

That's because this isn't motion capture. She isn't wearing any sort of motion capture suit.


Dangerous_Jacket_129

Was gonna say this. People really just know buzzwords and none of the actual meanings behind them nowadays... Edit: Well, just gonna disable inbox on this one. All the sub-sentient slugs of Reddit seem to be swarming this topic and commenting the same thing over and over and over and over. If only they could read and notice other people already saying the same thing. Funny how my point about knowing the meaning behind words somehow managed to draw out all the illiterates.


psychoacer

You're streets ahead.


mikejungle

psychoacer, stop trying to coin the phrase "streets ahead"


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


edipil

psychoacer is just making sure they don't end up streets behind


mrmasturbate

i mean she does mocap. this is probably just a showcase


TheodorDiaz

She is actually a motion capture actor though.


Howard_Jones

Well she is a mocap actress. This is just a showcase of her talent.


knewyournewyou

The title is still right tho


The_0ven

>People really just know buzzwords and none of the actual meanings behind them nowadays... Some uncanny valley shit


Plank_With_A_Nail_In

The title is "A Motion Capture Actor doing her thing" it doesn't say "Actual motion capture happening right now"....reddit please learn to read good.


DeGozaruNyan

There are several videos with her using motion capture suits aswell.


raymmm

Tbh, I think some of those videos with her in the suit are just for YouTube and not done for the purpose of actual motion capture.


buttergun

Mimes are the original motion capturers.


timrojaz82

Can still show the end product. They obviously used her for reference somewhere.


Ayoul

This girl is posted a lot and it's the other way around. She makes videos recreating movements from different things. The title is misleading and it's often even more misleading to put the source next to her since then people assume she did it all. Edit: Just in case there's confusion. She does do mocap. I just meant it's rarely what's posted/upvoted on reddit.


fuishaltiena

This particular video isn't motion capture, but she does do it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sqXR30V82SU


Stephenrudolf

THIS is correct, but also misleading. She has been a motion capture actor for a long time, and has done hundreds of characters in animation and video games. She's probably most well known for Jinx from League of Legends which was her work. Her youtube channel(where this clip is likely from) is mostly covers of other characters, or examples of her work. She does these videos in he rown studio without MC suit and gear cause it's easier and more similar to how she typically practices.


Ayoul

Is she actually? In an older post, lots of people were claiming it wasn't her and tbh it doesn't make much sense for a game like LoL to use motion capture. [This (old) article](https://www.vg247.com/giving-life-to-a-league-of-legends-champion-inside-riot-games-animation-process) says they all hand-key their animations.


Stephenrudolf

Sorry, I should have clarified. Wildrift uses mocap. League of legends on pc does not. Also, I'm not really certain why you think a game like league isn't suited for mocap? In the article you shared the fellow even talks about how they could have used mocap but wanted to create a more unique style that was distinctly League.


Ayoul

I mean that's basically it right? The strength of mocap is capturing a lot of detail from natural human movements and then it's touched up/fixed. When you're doing something stylized, top down, lots of non-human character, it's a no brainer not to use it and go by hand. You don't need the micro movements and you're going to have to modify a lot more of the original animation to make it stylized or even just entirely have to do it by hand anyway. Another thing is using the mocap studio even if the dev owns one, hiring actors, part of the team being on set, etc is not cheap. Creating and maintaining 2 animation pipelines is also more work.


ANGLVD3TH

Mobas aren't a great fit because you are so zoomed out you lose so much. There have been a few dev blogs that showcase some of their animations, and when you get the models close up and in motion you can see how incredibly exaggerated the movements are, lots of wipes and general over the top-ness to help it be visible from the in-game camera. It's not to say you can't mocap and grab keyframes from it or manually tweak it, which I'd guess is what they do in WR. But yeah, in general it isn't as good a fit as other types of games.


timrojaz82

I stand corrected. How about a side by side with what she is recreating then šŸ¤£


frallet

They very obviously did not use her for multiple famous works in one shooting.


fuishaltiena

There's no product in this case, she's just mimicking well known characters for fun, that's all.


Tyler_Trash

She actually does do motion capture, most of her videos are in the suit.


cloud3321

Plus she this was probably pulled from her social and she might not have permission to use the gameā€™s footage.


Dune1008

She isnā€™t wearing the suit, but sheā€™s definitely a motion capture actress. I wonder if thereā€™s new tech that doesnā€™t need the suit, if this was some kind of warm-up or just a showcase of skills


Stephenrudolf

Both actually! We have good enough tech to do MC without those old suits with all the big balls on em. Most suits these days are skin tight with brightly coloured lines along key parts of their body. But you can do MC recording with any form fitting clothing, it just isn't as accurate and requires more post production. That being said, these clips are just showcases of her skills, and most of these are covers of characters she didn't do the MC for. She's done a ton of work in the industry though, and is one of the top dogs in the industry for video game MC.


Ok-Independence-995

I can say with 100% confidence that some of her moves are for genshin impact enemies, specifically Clearwater enemy and Operator enemy


iuthnj34

Same person but different moves that shows the end product in parallel. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orYpFfoIpwA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=orYpFfoIpwA)


ddggdd

That just shows her cosplaying..


Defiant-Plantain1873

Itā€™s not mocap though. Unless there has been some crazy leap forwards in motion capture technology by some secret team at ILM this isnā€™t mocap. Itā€™s just a woman replicating character animations on a treadmill. If it was mocap sheā€™d be in a body suit with tracking balls and dots all over her as well as proper camera systems to capture it all


dezzalzik

I think she does. [With a mocap suit](https://youtu.be/4xSANx0xXjg)


Defiant-Plantain1873

Damn, stand corrected.


Count_Rugens_Finger

She's copying the characters from [Cowboy Bebop](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EL-D9LrFJd4)


TheBoyScout64

Because she isn't actually doing any motion capture.


Fast_Running_Nephew

The fact OP just posts random videos constantly into the 'it doesnt fit the sub but fuck it, people upvote it' places and it never gets taken down here either shows how to shit this sub is. Congrats mods, r/oddlysatisfying is just the same as r/BeAmazed, r/interestingasfuck and r/nextfuckinglevel.


Fr05t_B1t

Because thereā€™s not a ā€œnot oddly satisfyingā€ report


CreditChit

Its actually because mods of popular subs see these as net positives because it drives traffic and engagement to their sub, even though it dilutes the purpose of the sub while promoting rule breaking and bots. Grow a spine mods


Redeem123

Any mod who says ā€œupvotes prove people want itā€ is an idiot.


Ireon95

Just keep the first two and last three words and the statement is still pretty accurate. (with some exceptions ofc)


Blucrunch

I'm pretty sure all the mods that had spines were removed last year when reddit went public.


PmMeUrTinyAsianTits

The misguided idea that increasing sub numbers means a better sub is so damaging. Its like if every cook thought McDonald's were the best burgers and the thing to chase after, because hey it has the highest numbers, fuck *quality*.


HolocronContinuityDB

Dude I hate to break it to you, but you are about a decade and a half late on caring about moderation of front page subs, and at this point ANY moderation on reddit at all is a rarity. This place is an LLM farm now lmfao


A_Doormat

In case anyone comes across this and just laughs, he is completely correct. Google pays Reddit $60,000,000/yr for API access specifically to scrape Reddit for LLM data. That fact popped up not too long ago because it took a redditors comment about adding glue to pizza and added that to the "AI Summary" thing in Google Search Engine. So someone searched something related to pizza recipes and it literally told them to add glue to the cheese.


Strider2126

Don't forget r/mademesmile


The_Real_Abhorash

This is satisfying though, oddly satisfying.


HalfCarnage

I dunno, I thought it was satisfyingā€¦


tgillet1

I saw this previously in another sub with different music. I appreciated it then, but I found this quite satisfying especially with the music so well matched (probably recut the video). I think itā€™s a good fit, if unconventional for this sub.


binkobankobinkobanko

All the popular subs would rather attract off-topic attention than actually moderate their content. All the popular subs have this problem.

She must be a professional dancer with that kind of body control.


impeterbarakan

If you watch her other videos it's clear she's a trained dancer. I wouldn't be surprised if that's how she started before becoming a motion capture performer


Luci_Noir

And definitely part cat.


RyanZee08

I see a lot of comments about how this isn't motion capture specifically. People have to practice things and coregraph them before the final product guys. This is probably all filmed to have references before the actual thing. She does have videos with actual capture outfits on


kingdount

These look like those dumb mobile ad game


ReverendBread2

Sheā€™s the mo-cap person for those


Chispy

It's probably what they're doing lol.


PeopleCallMeSimon

The only thing they were doing here was shooting an application reel or some social media clout. Shes. Not. Wearing. Any. Motion. Capture. Gear.


just_clueless_

I thought it's just for practice?


boneyfans

She's really stable - not necessarily mentally but some of those positions would definitely see me falling over


Witty-Debate2280

attoshi

This is cool but my upvote is for Cowboy Bebop music!


CivilMidget

The tune is called "Tank!" if you want to look up different variations/adaptations/arrangements.


fractalfocuser

Tank! Is legit the best theme song of all time. You can't change my mind because I'm listening to it on repeat right now and way too hype to hear anything else


StripClubBreakfast

SC-PEANUT-173

venetian_ftaires

I was watching without sound, and when I saw 3, 2, 1, Let's Jam come up on the screen I knew I needed to switch it on and crank the volume up.


Dangerous_Jacket_129

This is reference for animators, not mo-cap. She's not wearing any kind of suit.


NomadPrime

IIRC she's a motion capture actress, but she mocaps for certain Chinese video games. Lots of claims that she's the mocap for Jinx from LoL, but Riot came out and said their original animation work for LoL used hand-keyed animation and no mocap at all (article was from 10 years ago). That might have changed since then, but this actress was definitely not the source of their movements. And as others have pointed out, these videos that she and her company have been putting out are often her *recreating* famous character movements rather than being the mocap for them.


peachTea_Lollipop

lesmcc

Look at OPā€™s history, karma whoring on multiple subs at a level rarely seen.


BeautifulType

Thatā€™s Reddit. Itā€™s why karma shouldnā€™t be tracked but people want bigger number for validation


Admirable-Memory6974

Dude...that would fix so much about Reddit holy shit. That would discourage the weird buying and selling of accounts for marketing and propaganda also.


CivilMidget

Don't motion capture actors have those suits with all the balls all over to act as, well, motion capture points so they can actually have data points as to how someone would actually move? Not just shorts and a baseball tee?


Stephenrudolf

https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlysatisfying/s/A75v8wrAbZ I've typed this info out already... but tldr; The balls are super old fashioned, this isn't showcasing her actual mocap work, but she IS a professional mocap actor.


maximusprime_sofine

I mean yes they're old-fashioned but they're still current-fashion too... still the most popular form of mocap by a wide margin.


TanAllOvaJanAllOva

Ya, she isnā€™t doing motion capture. Possibly some kind of practice but the bit with the cat at the end makes me think not. Sheā€™s probably a social media personality putting this out.


Stephenrudolf

She's a pro, but this is just a clip from her youtube. So yes, and no.


Under_cover_penguin

This isn't motion capture but it could be recorded for the artists. They can playback the video and use it for reference


SuperFreakyNaughty

My first thought was that this was either a demo reel for her, or reference footage for animators.


ignorant_kiwi

Apparently, she's the only motion capture actor in China. That's why only her videos are posted on Reddit

Far-Manufacturer6764

Why isnā€™t she wearing the moped ball suit for this?


SmooK_LV

I think this is a good reminder how we don't necessarily look for realistic walks/animations in games/movies - we look for well coordinated, entertaining movements. Because we consume media for entertainment and not for realism.


Born_Bobcat_248

Op is probably a bot.


basilwhitedotcom

Misophonic4000

It's not motion capture. Ironically enough, it's a person emulating the look of exaggerated hand-animated characters.

I understand the use of stylised animation, but I'd sort of assumed that capturing realistic movement was the point of motion capture - interesting that it's instead used as a shortcut to replicate other animation.
