Highlights:
Alex tells the story of how and why he added motion capture for video games to his already impressive acting CV.
Why does it take an actor to do motion capture? Why not just use a person who is professionally doing those movements?
We get into the differences between traditional acting with an audience where everything is live and you have one take, and using your body to very precisely express movements and feelings through possibly any number of takes.
We talk about how the agency of a video game in some ways conflicts with the fact that story is often told through pace and timing.

Kurt Vonnegut Quote:
Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind."
