Building on the skills you learned in the previous class, this takes things to the next level, giving you advanced, practical skills that are essential for creating and playing characters and living in imaginary worlds. Enhanced skills that are at the core of a successful performance capture career.

One of the most important tasks for any performance capture actor is to fully realize detailed environments that can be interacted with and responded to. Whether it is the extraordinary landscape of Avatar, the cybernetic and digital Oasis from Ready Player One, or the harsh battlefields of Call of Duty, we need to have a consistent method for building rich, detailed and stable worlds in our minds. This class will teach you the skills to do this in a way that goes beyond thinking and into a physical, experiential realm. You won’t need to think about how cold the tundra is, you will already be shivering!

Richard Dorton has earned his stripes from being called on to overcome a vast array of challenges in the volume for decades. He has developed iron clad techniques that are fast, effective and catch the eye of every director and game developer. In this masterclass they will share those trade secrets and techniques with you.

Time: 10am to 5:30pm on [Saturday February 14th 2026]

Location: Mihran K Studios, 135 N.Victory Blvd. Burbank, CA 91502
