On the XMLFront

I used a text transcript of Marlon Brando’s famous monologue from “On the Waterfront” to convert to audio and read the amplitude to make the mouth open and close. I also aded some MIDI music. I wasn’t successful in my original plan, which is to get full body motion out of a character I made in Photoshop. I acted out this scene in front of the Kinect, and tried to use those points to make the character move on screen. The process because so involved in terms of fixing and smoothing points that I felt like it was getting away from the purpose of the assignment. Even after all the work, the body would just looked weird. Admittedly, the version above looks weird, but it’s a “good weird.”
