Motion capture setup
Installing and operating the studio's motion-capture system — OptiTrack cameras with Motive.

Connected the studio's lights to their controllers and built a DMX controller in Unreal Engine for the SkyPanels.

Overview
At the LSU XR Studio I work across the virtual-production pipeline: real-time environments for the LED wall, interactive backgrounds that react to live performers, motion capture, lighting control, and production work on camera. Each piece has its own video or stills in the Pieces section.
Studio systems
Behind the productions sit the studio's systems. I installed and run the motion-capture volume (OptiTrack cameras with Motive), connected the studio's different light types to their controllers, and built a DMX controller inside Unreal Engine for the SkyPanel lights.
On camera and behind it
I'm one of the videographers for LSU sport marketing and for studio interviews — lighting, camera and sound — and I played one of the lead roles in the short film Lost Reveries.
