Line 52:
* Mocap can accurately capture difficult-to-model physical movement. For example, if the mocap actor does a backflip while holding [[nunchaku]] by the chain, both sticks of the nunchucks will be captured by the cameras moving in a realistic fashion. A traditional animator might not be able to physically simulate the movement of the sticks adequately due to other motions by the actor. Secondary motion such as the ripple of a body as an actor is punched or is punching requires both higher speed and higher resolution as well as more markers.
 
* Mocap technology allows studios to hand pick one actor to play multiple roles within a single film. Without the aid of mocap, it would have been impossible for Tom Hanks to play themore partthan ofone acreepy young boycharacter in [[The Polar Express (film)|The Polar Express]]
