Move AI's app for capturing body motion with one iPhone camera and preparing animation.
How to record movement
Move One extracts body motion from a single iPhone recording. Animators can use the result to transfer gestures to a digital character. Break complex actions into clear segments when filming. When an arm goes behind the torso or furniture obscures a foot, the model has less information to reconstruct the motion.
For the first tests, put the camera steady and leave a margin of space around the performer. Take pictures in a light that shows your hands and feet.
A walk with a stop
A learning example consists of several steps to an imaginary door and a short stop. Take it off twice. In the first take, a person walks across the frame, in the second a little diagonally. Before processing, view both clips and select the one where the heels remain distinguishable at the time of stopping.
After moving the animation to the editor, compare the staging of the stop and the direction of the pelvis. If the character continues to slide after stopping, correct the section before you tie the movement to the final scene. A long hand gesture should be evaluated separately from walking.
From rough capture to animation
The actor and the character may have different proportions. Check scale, floor level, and skeleton orientation. Move AI's capture modes have different recording and credit requirements. See the terms for Move One when checking payment. When using footage of another person, agree on filming and processing before uploading it.

Terms
To shoot with Move One, you need a compatible iPhone. Web downloads and formats depend on the chosen workflow.From task to first result
Practical example
- Task
- Record pass and stop for character
- What to prepare
- Your own video of a person taking a few steps, stopping and raising an arm. Their entire body stays in frame.
Task brief or prompt
Extract body motion from this video and transfer it to an available character. Check the stopping motion, foot placement and arm raise. Choose an animation format supported in your account for further processing.
Expected result
Rough character animation based on captured motion; corrections and retargeting may be needed for the final shot.
How to check the result
- Check foot sliding, hand positions, body orientation and joint jitter.
- Inspect sections with occlusion and limbs moving outside the frame.
- Check the import of the animation and the skeleton's match to the target character.
