The process: of finding and defining the characters:

As a first step towards creating the characters in the world of TRUST, Goodman and Bregler engaged in a series of dramatic improvisations around basic character traits, acting out and pacing out motions for videotape reference. The taping serves as a motion reference for key-framing these signature motions - the next step of the process. When the characters are moving in ways that suggest the flow of the characters, we will motion capture the same movements and test the results of hand animation and motion capture, and will agree upon a movement vocabulary for each character, adding it to the main (Level 1) archive.

The TRUST game world will be linked to Rufus Kahler's cyberForest space, which provides the interactive site where movements and actions are triggered, archived and stored. It also builds a real-time database of user interaction for further study.
