The endless possibilities in motion capture<\/strong><\/h2>\n

During her time studying a Bachelor of Creative Arts (Drama), Brittany had the opportunity to jump into a motion capture suit at The Void and was immediately captivated by the cutting-edge equipment.<\/p>\n

\u201cStepping into that world, I was given the freedom to explore and experiment, pushing the boundaries of my own abilities and discovering new facets of my craft.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Brittany has described her experience at Flinders as \u2018truly transformative\u2019, largely due to the incredible teachers who genuinely care about their students. Their unwavering support and dedication to their students\u2019 development has not gone unnoticed.<\/p>\n

Creative spaces at Flinders, such as the Drama Centre and The Void, gave Brittany the opportunity to build a solid foundation in embodying characters, both vocally and physically, which is fundamental to be able to excel in motion capture.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Void has become a space where innovation and imagination thrive, which is a dream for creative people like me! Flinders has provided me with a safe and nurturing environment to explore and try new things, allowing me to fearlessly follow my interests.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI am excited to continue my journey in this thrilling medium, pushing boundaries, and delivering exceptional performances that captivate audiences and inspire fellow artists.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

When asked where she sees her career heading, she said that she will \u201caim to contribute to the development of ground-breaking projects that push the boundaries of storytelling.\u201d She also wants to eventually establish and run introductory MoCap masterclasses for those interested in the field as there is currently a lack of available training in Adelaide.<\/p>\n
