We developed 22 custom avatars, each with several unique costumes and multiple special FX, for the first-ever avatar singing competition, “Alter Ego.” Contestants performed as their dream avatars, driven by live face & body motion capture. Avatars were brought to life in 8 tracked cameras, with real-time compositing through Pixotope, seamlessly integrated DMX lighting and real-time triggerable effects. This was the largest use of real-time animated characters to date.
