System and method for performing motion capture using phosphor application techniques
First Claim
1. A method for performing motion capture comprising:
- mixing phosphor with makeup to create a phosphor-makeup mixture;
applying the phosphor-makeup mixture to surface regions of a motion capture subject;
strobing a light source on and off, the light source charging phosphor within the phosphor-makeup mixture when on; and
strobing the shutters of a first plurality of cameras synchronously with the strobing of the light source to capture sequences of images of the phosphor-makeup mixture as the subject moves or changes facial expressions during a performance, wherein the shutters are open when the light source is off and the shutters are closed when the light source is on.

Abstract
A system and method are described for performing motion capture on a subject. For example, a method according to one embodiment of the invention comprises: mixing phosphorescent makeup with a makeup base; applying the mixture of phosphorescent makeup and makeup base to surface regions of a motion capture subject; strobing a light source on and off, the light source charging phosphor within the phosphorescent makeup when on; and strobing the shutters of a first plurality of cameras synchronously with the strobing of the light source to capture images of the phosphorescent makeup, wherein the shutters are open when the light source is off and the shutters are closed when the light source is on.

14. A method for performing motion capture of a fabric comprising:
-
mixing phosphor with dye to create a phosphor-dye mixture; applying the phosphor-dye mixture to surface regions of a fabric; strobing a light source on and off, the light source charging phosphor within the phosphor-dye mixture when on; and strobing the shutters of a first plurality of cameras synchronously with the strobing of the light source to capture sequences of images of the phosphor-dye mixture as the fabric is moved during a motion capture performance, wherein the shutters are open when the light source is off to capture the sequences of images of the phosphor-dye mixture and the shutters are closed when the light source is on. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
