Alita: Battle Angel is here and Inverse got to explore the process of motion capture that's been evolving at a rapid pace at WETA Digital in New Zealand.

Robert Rodriguez (the director) is like right there basically just playing the guitar for you... that is what you call VIP... wow

[bhoqeem]

That guitar is ALWAYS with him. It literally his muse juice, to help keeps the creative thinking flows. So awesome!

[kickheavy]

I gotta say this was a ton of fun to watch! Technology has come so far it's crazy

[acadia]

7:32 Rob even provides you with sound effects. he seems like a cool guy

[avtpro]

I hope to have a great mocap studio like that. I did enjoy Alita. I hadn't been to the theater in in years so it was great we have a new AMC downtown.

AMAZING JOB!!! This is one of my favorite 3 movies I've ever seen, and i went to see it 13 times at theaters, and 9 of those were in other cities 1 to 3 hour drives each way. So Nyssiana and Romo fought Grewishka? Was that just for practice, or will there be a scene in the extras showing how they met?

[thevoidire]

This makes me wish they use motion capture with Mark Hamill so we can get the joker we all want lol

[spankeyfish]

There's so many behind the scenes vids of reporters doing the mo-cap fight I'm starting to think you could make a themepark ride out of it.

[tenpovine]

Motion capture is great! But I wanna see the secreats to the small mechanical parts.

[dmanakell]

Wanna see how a videogame about this is. It would be awesome. They could explain more the fall of the cities, the war on the moon and stuff.

[IBRAHIM_ABDELWAHAB]
