Mohr (QUT, 2019) proposes four production conditions from four practice cycles: an 'animation performer' with movement training and animation knowledge; curated animated reference sent ahead and shown during capture; an optional pre-production capture of movement stylisations on a work-in-progress character; and gestural warm-ups with scaffolded actions. Supporting practices reported as helpful: overt movement, energetic actions first, goal-driven actions, a live projector view, and aesthetic movement rules per style. The thesis states the conditions have not yet been applied to a full production and that post-capture editing was not examined.
