Shooting a “motion capture” session with Red Sox player Dustin Pedroia, Director of Photography Jeff Landie leads a Sloan production crew. San Diego is home to several video game producers all of whom employ motion capture to create more realistic game titles. In this photo, Pedroia wears a suit with markers near each joint to identify his motion by the positions or angles between the markers. The markers are then “captured” as he goes through his movements and are recorded by multiple cameras fixed around the stage. Sloan Productions provides professional production crews in San Diego to networks, independent producers, and corporations.
