TakeToons: Script-driven Performance Animation
summary
TakeToons lets authors annotate Fountain scripts with timed animation events, compiles them into a directed acyclic story model, and maps live voice and face-performance captures onto nodes to produce assembled scenes via Adobe Character Animator. It supplies a teleprompter view, voice commands, single- and multi-character recording modes, and automatic propagation of edits so moving or replacing a trigger updates existing takes. Prototype produces rough cuts and four animator reviewers report it speeds simple production; current limits: face-only capture, sequential recording assumptions, and occasional discontinuities after large edits.
