One of the major scenes in Li is a reoccurring dream sequence where the main character runs across the rooftops of the city, chasing a girl who he never catches. Because the scene needs to have a dynamic POV perspective, and because the dual RED camera stereo rig is much too large to run around with, the scene will be built entirely in the computer. This crude render sequence was the fruit of my idea to create the POV camera and character animation at the same time in a motion capture studio. The position and rotation of the actor's head can be used to drive a stereo rig in Maya, granting a very realistic POV shot. For this test my actor simply jogged in place but eventually a treadmill could be utilized to capture a full fledged run.
