Paul Metcalfe
VR/Game Animation Director | Mocap DirECTOR | Game Producer
|
I'm an animator/director, mocap studio owner, VR app creator, game developer, character rigger and team lead. I've spent 20+ years working in game and VR development from large teams at Electronic Arts to gutsy new tech startups like THE VOID.
My studio MoCap Central allows me to work with talented VR/game studios fulfilling mocap, rigging, pipeline and producer roles...I'm creatively flexible. I have my own onsite AAA quality mocap stage available 24/7. Originally from the UK I studied at Exeter Art College before taking a detour through life working on cruise ships (yes, it was fun!). I joined the San Fran game industry in 1997 and now live in Utah, USA. |
