View Urgent ForecastIn this video, we hear from several talented voice artists who worked on “Indiana Jones and the Great Circle”. Among them are Tony Todd as Lucas, Troy Baker as Indiana Jones himself, and Alessandra Mastronardi as Gina Lombardi. They discuss their behind-the-scenes journey in capturing motion for this action-packed game.
As a thrilled enthusiast, I found myself embarking on my inaugural motion capture (mo-cap) adventure. Reading the script, I marveled, “Wow, we’re visiting all these amazing locations? That’s incredible!” Only later did I learn that it was a mo-cap project.
Todd stated, “The success of motion capture (mo-cap) lies in the strength of one’s imagination.” He emphasized that it requires a strong understanding of what is intended and what is real. Actors should also be well-prepared before diving into mo-cap, as it differs significantly from performing on stage. In this setting, they are enveloped by cameras, there’s constant communication, and suggestions for improvement are frequently given.
The actor portraying Indiana Jones, the lead character, frequently discusses the difficulties of embodying such a renowned figure while lacking certain tangible, hands-on props that Harrison Ford utilized during filming of the original films.
According to Baker, Harrison Ford had the advantage of being on that set and location, and he wore the jacket, hat, and carried the whip. However, in our case, we only have Velcro strips, a gray box, and a camera attached to my head about 6 inches away.
For me, it’s essential to grasp not the role I need to play, but rather the character I get to embody, one that exists independently of any accessories. Indy doesn’t start his day thinking, “I’m not Indiana Jones without my hat.” Instead, he is Indiana Jones in essence.
The most recent “backstage” video was shared earlier this month, highlighting the difficulties experienced by voice actors as they assumed their characters within the game. Additionally, Baker mentioned his preparation for the part by bringing a real whip to the studio.
He brought his own whip to the set, and when they saw it, they questioned, “What’s that?” To which he replied, “That’s my whip.” But they disagreed, saying, “No, it’s not.” They then handed him a rope and explained, “This is a secure environment, and we can’t allow the use of weapons within this outstanding facility. Therefore, I didn’t get to utilize the whip as intended.
