Motion capturing is a big part of film and video game making today, with studios regularly being called into use in order to create more life-like animations.
Total War: Warhammer turned to such a studio in Surrey in order to create the Orcs needed to fill the fantasy world in which the new game is set.
We went down to take a look, and even get involved in the motion capture process.
Total War: Warhammer is out on May 24, sadly minus Orcs dancing to Frank Sinatra.
