amazing vlog

I already have a career in Opera Performance and I found the field of Mocap pretty late in my career. But I'm really interested in preparing myself for it, since I have a vast dance background and theater acting experience. Is it unusual to find singers or other artists in the mocap field?

I recently went to a job fair, where I wanted to talk to this actor who was there (Michael Strickland) Couldn't find Michael at first, but I did see another group that had a TV showing animations for video games, so I went over there and asked what they do, but mainly asked if they do mo-cap work. Where the lady there said they do - but they're a small group, sort story to that is I basically said how passionate I am on mo-cap and she gave me a card to contact someone to see if I can help around the studio. Though talking to Michael was very nice, I got straight to the point on wanting to become an actor for motion/performance capture, where we talked for 45 minutes on acting and the industry and his acting classes he teaches. (The only reason I did go to the job fair though was because of this video, plus the genuine happiness I felt talking to people who had interest in the things I wanted to learn, plus I didn't show up unprepared.)

Very good video! Great job 👏

the first five seconds lol

Probably you have to turn to india site. Great initiative and doing well. We follow u🎉

Hi Gemma! Great video, incredibly helpful! So basically a Imdb credit usually would qualify for a Spotlight credit? X

I'm an artist. It's a far cry from being an actor. You sit isolated working away at your craft most of the time. Watched this out of morbid curiosity. I don't have the confidence to put up with half of this. Don't worry about the commercial comment. You look great. Take it from a professional. Good luck!

Wow you are really great at acting I wish you good luck 👍

Wow You are beautiful 💯❤

I have no idea how this got reccomended to me by youtube. But the southern texas one was insane looking. What movie is that from? And what the heck was in your mouth. Good acting.

Is that healing scene from a full movie? I was getting into it 😄

Hello! Next year I’m wanting to take mocap / performance capture classes. My question is for (Let’s say I do make it into mocap / performance capture.) Do I have to live close to the city where a mocap / performance capture studio is? I live around an area that will be pretty far for me when I take these classes, and I don’t think there’s a mocap / performance capture studio near me.

I'm entering college, but I dont know what major I should take that will help me with mocap acting.

Blink for life...

The movie biz is all who you know. Legally they have to do auditions but they always give the jobs to their close friends and inner circle mates. The industry is BS.

This is the first video I've come across of yours and I instantly subscribed. I'm always so scared I'm too late/old to jump into the mocap/performance capture field but this video was super insightful. Time to get my foot in the door. Thank you! also, the doggo was a pleasant surprise <3

As much as I appreciate listening to US actors' experiences, it's not always relatable, so it's great to hear from a British actor. "Trust your gut" is the key to navigating our industry and is sound advice. Thank you 😁✌🏾💚🇬🇧

So cool that you got to go to the viewing, where can we watch the film? also if you need someone to go with next time lemme know! 😁

Love the clip of you in RED 1. Very natural, very believable. Great job!

Considering Spotlight's move towards the darkside over the past 12 months (crazily increasing prices, exploitative practices, lowering standards etc.), and Equity's new stance against them, do you still recommend people actually need to be on Spotlight? Has being a member helped you get a lot of work since you joined? I used to be a member, but just can't support their practices now.

Hi there, really appreciate your videos! I’m a screenwriter, and it’s really interesting to see the actor’s side of the process. I love your openness and honesty. I absolutely understand where you’re coming from with the Zoom nerves, if it makes you feel any better, the people on the other side definitely feel the same! Film-making is a wonderfully collaborative process, and it's great to hear a different point of view. Keep doing you, you’re awesome!

LEDs might be easier but nawww soft boxes are much nicer light - I poo poo all LEDs won’t work with them on any set ever. Old fashioned red heads and tungsten filament lights still have the BEST colour, the oldest and cheapest are the best 💁🏻‍♀️

i love your videos theyre so helpful! so glad i found your channel <3

Just watched this as I'm curious how to make a shiwreel. This is awesome! 🎉

Hey! Just wanted to say that this is such a beautiful build but you have 2 major flaw. First is the GPU, it is plugged in on the very bottom PCIE slot. i would suggest you put it on the top PCIE slot, right under the cpu cooler, to get every ounce of performance you can! ATM its not performing at it should and being under utilized. Secondly is the CPU cooler fan. i noticed that the cpu fan is facing the back case fan and they are working against each other! i suggest you put the cooler fan in front of the cooler so it will pull in air, through the radiator, and blow air from the back and be sucked out by the rear case fan cuz right now the back case fan is pulling air out while the cpu fan is trying to pull air in!

Do you buy your PC during COVID time ? because that pc with that price is quite expensive Because recently I got pc and I paid around 719 Pounds My pc specifications RTX 3060 , i7 11th so it's quite Similar to your PC btw I Transferred that much money I paid to your currency "pounds" with my currency because It's different and to make it easier for you to know how much I paid

lol didn't even build it

The motherboard is crazy expensive in comparison to the parts that can actually affect preformance

I prefer your acting videos. 😊

this seemed cool but can you add the fact youre talking specifically about drama and acting?

What are your videos about?

Thank you very much for your videos! They are very helpful!🥰

I am a new writer. What advice do you have for me to sell my script?

What job has been your most enjoyable one whilst persuing a creative one?

Thank you. I am sifting through YT looking for good and honest descriptions for acting students who need to start thinking about working in the real world. I know they'll appreciate this 😀

What's been your favourite job so far? :D

You can RECORD YOURSELF AS THE actor/READER AND YOU CAN HAVE YOURSELF PLAY OFF.

You got rehearse the thoughts going in your head to pull it off

Cool video. But probably worth mentioning that most things 99% of them even are provided for if it’s a proper budget production. You don’t need to bring a script as they give you daily sides. Pretty much just need to bring yourself!

Great video! I am moving in in Bristol, do you think it’s a good city for acting/castings overall?

What if the director need to me to cry

How do you play back the recording though when you are using your iPhone to record your audition? Do you use another device like an iPad to play back the audio you recorded?

The fact that I watched this video a month ago and was able to write another short film in one sitting with you and Dita in mind + to find a location freaking scares me :D

I like the method but it certainly has its hazards when it comes to delving into old emotions…

Get a lawyer to read it.

Hi Gemma I’m a little confused… so Spotlight accepts IMDB credits for the four credits, but not if it is a student, short that is not on the BAFTA list, music video etc. ? Or if these productions provide an IMDB credit will this suffice, no matter what type of production it is? Thank you so much for the video!

My daughter is starting to show great interest in acting and we appreciate your videos !

Great ideas Gemma! Recently, did a self-tape and used the thermos as the prop to fill in the Reader who had two lines with the rest of their lines were frowns and stares so it was almost a monologue! So a prop could be your Reader? Example of a previous use of prop: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qYPYloeXfpyGgaM Don
