Video accompaniment to our I3D 2003 paper.
We present an approach to character motion called Snap-Together Motion that addresses the unique demands of virtual environments. Snap-Together Motion (STM) preprocesses a corpus of motion capture examples into a set of short clips that can be concatenated to make continuous streams of motion.

The main idea behind Virtual Videography is to automatically edit video of some event that would be nice to record, but too costly or intrusive to place a camera crew, such as a classroom lecture. (Note: Newer video at Virtual Videography).

Video from our 2002 paper “Footskate cleanup for motion capture editing”. This work was published at the Symposium on Computer Animation.
Many motion capture editing operations result in the feet of the character moving when they ought to remain planted. We present a simple, efficient algorithm for removing this footskate.
Read formatted page...We present a method for controlling motion capture data without sacrificing motion quality. Given a database of motion, we automatically construct seamless transitions to form a directed graph we call a motion graph. A user can then extract motions that meet a set of constraints. Our framework is applied to the particular problem of directing locomotion down arbitrary paths.
This is the video to accompany the Motion Graphs paper. Despite the significance of the paper (it was including in the collection [ACM Seminal Graphics] - so it is, literally, seminal), the original video is hard to find It was converted to a circa-2003 MP4 Codec (DivX), and then re-encoded to a more modern codec.
I did find an official DVD - that might be higher quality. Here is an MP4 rip of it.

This is my 1998 Electronic Theater Piece. Yes, I did a single author Electronic Theater piece.
The best version I have is from a DV tape. I captured it and converted it to MP4 using handbrake. This is uploaded to YouTube: https://youtu.be/bi5pnbwK0AE
There is an older, low-res version using some ancient Codec (avi), which did convert to mp4 and is on YouTube.

Video Accompaniment for the 1997 I3D paper.
Yes. This really was all in real-time on a circa 1996 Macintosh. I have no idea how I made it go so fast.
This video is from the 1997 Interactive 3D Symposium Paper. An earlier version of the paper actually appeared as a 1998 journal paper. The journal paper mainly has 2D examples, and focuses on the non-interactive cases.
