Richard is one of the top motion capture performers in the field. He’s a stunt man and stunt coordinator as well as a motion capture consultant, director, and producer. His very first game was Scooby Doo! Night of 100 Frights in which he played Shaggy – and almost 80 other characters! He has performed motion capture in video games, feature films, television series, and commercials. I knew very little about this (growing) area of the industry but, considering the popularity of Avatar – and the issues it brought forth regarding the union governance of motion capture performing vs. on-camera acting – I thought having a Coffee Date with a seasoned veteran would be a fascinating and enlightening conversation. (I was right!)
