Hi I need to make the following text shorter and more concise, it is a voiceover description for a video
To be able to train a digital being, we first need to be able to recognise and give weight to human motion and emotion through movement.
What are the core methods of expression available to the human body?
How can we encourage the machine to learn to recognise and eventually respond to or elicit these actions?
We first need to effectively record and analyse these means to guide our selection of tracking data points and their respective importance in the training process that would follow.
It was important for us to capture all the nuances of human motion, so we held a movement workshop where we consulted with dancers and choreographers. We first took time to discuss the concept of encountering and performing alongside a digital entity and then we recorded short improv dance sessions of no longer than 15 minutes.
