Conan O’Brien recently visited ILM where, among other things, he created some motion capture movement. It’s in the second half of the video below:

EVENTS
RECENT BREW TV EPISODES By Sitji Chou. A man tries to understand the futility of creating human connections when they’ve been impeded by the microcosmic void between material particles.  By Nikolas Ilic. A story of a Scottish sheep farmer who shears his sheep and tosses them cliff side…  By Dylan Hayes. Lesson 1: Everyone gambles, not everyone loses. Lesson 2: The world is full of traps. Lesson 3: You cannot win if you don’t take risks.  By Jean Yi. A personal and humorous exploration of being the ‘Nice Girl’ and coming to terms with the label and all its different meanings.  By Ferg Brennan. A lonely fisherman catches an unusual fish, which he decides to keep as a pet. |
Conan could probably be a motion capture actor if his day job (or rather night job) fails. Watching C3PO doing the string dance is priceless.
He actually gets a good performance out of the mocap machine! Amazing. Then again he’s something of a living cartoon to begin with.
Conan always delivers with just the right amount of nerd-appreciation inherent in this sort of thing.
That segment was better than the whole second movie trilogy.
With the exception of “Anni” getting three limbs burned off by lava, of course. I’m not sure anything is going to beat that.
Conan is a titan amongst men
Jeeze,
Conan is brilliant. I am sooooo looking forward to him taking Jay Leno’s spot on the Tonight Show in three years. I only hope that the suits there don’t make him tone down any of his act or antics…..which I’m afraid will happen. Sigh.
Conan did a brilliant job in that mo-cap suit. Maybe a second career is in the future. You know: “In the year two thousaaaaaaaaand…”
The only thing that would have made that more awesome would be if Robert Smigel had done voices
Thanks for posting this incredible clip! Conan the Motion-Capture Guy was hysterical; I about fell off my chair laughing so hard.
