    Summer internship while I was studying at University. I worked as part of a team to capture motions for a AAA game. My tasks included running the capture machine, wand waves and data cleaning using Vicon systems. Most shots included up to eight actors (59 markers per person) and ten props. Also set up Vicon equipment for outdoor shoots.
