Neigh lad...neigh

Centroid undertook it's own horse shoot at Sparsholt College in Hampshire! Not only did we come away with lots of amazing data, but thanks to the sterling efforts of the horses involved, my rhubarb is now thriving.

With a four man team and fifty two cameras, we captured three horses and four riders over the course of a day performing a wide variety of moves, tricks and set pieces. Immerse yourself in the sights (and smells) of the Centroid horse shoot!

Sparsholt Equestrian Centre - it smelt funny.

They agree to disagree and peace is restored.

The horse didn't like a marker taped there.

Creature feature!

When Brian said he could do something amazing with crutches and a pair of Poweriser stilts, the first thought was to involve the authorities. However, when it became apparent that what he really meant was to put his extensive experience in creature performance to use, we unlocked the door and let him in.

The results were great, and really expand the potential for motion capture to be used to drive weird and wonderful creatures! And what a great excuse to bound around in Poweriser stilts all day!
