hi guys how are you pretty good how are you I'm great how's your Comic Con going mine has been going great she actually hasn't been down yet oh is this a new experience for you yes I've been to conventions but never the World Famous San Diego ComicCon and I'm and Dante knows I'm I'm like a kid chomping at the bit I'm like I can't wait to see it but but I've having fun doing interviews and I love seeing the team again I love these guys like Miss I missed them so I'm I'm I've been having a great day good I'm glad it sounds like you guys had a really great experience working on this project talk a little bit about it we did we got we got lucky enough to do the mo cap together in Tokyo and so that was just a blast was fun getting to work with like Tony son and hio and and then see these guys again who we don't you get to see them I see them all the time cuz I'm based in Tokyo at the moment so seeing them is like neighbors but having her and Jason and John coming over to do map and work with them and also you know have our downtime together was actually really nice it was was a Gods Dante is the best tour guide if you guys need a tour guide you need a tour guide in Tokyo look me up yeah all right next time I'm in to Tokyo I'll give you a call you know let's talk about motion capture it's become such an art form talk a little bit about the process for me okay um well compared to games this time we're actually using two different forms um recording our facial expressions uh pretty much real time um between that and what doing practically everything um from the start as is it's it's different because usually doing motion capture in a video game you have a room you're isolated you don't do a lot of movement or you do isolated movements this one was basically just like filming a real feature we just have bodysuits and a headset it was like a feature meet a play because in you know because I do mostly on camera work work um so I'm used to you know okay we're going to do the master then we're going to come in for coverage then we're going to do half like I'm used to so many opportunities to do takes and and this one you you get a big scene like four or five pages or whatever and you rehearse rehearse rehearse rehearse get it right down to like a science right then you get one or two takes and then that's it and that's it so it's it's it's really TV and film because there's a but cameras and everything yeah meets a play I we did the whole movie and what two and a half weeks something like that and then they animated it for you know over a year which is the shortest I've ever filmed a feature yeah I mean it's it's mindblowing that's we' but no pressure no pressure no pressure none at all none at all no there's no pressure no pressure why do you think Resident Evil is so popular what's what's the draw I I think you know I think for for a multitude of reasons from in my experience anyway it was a pioneering franchise it came in and and the world hadn't quite seen anything like it and now we've seen a lot of this kind of zombies and things but it's it was really like a pioneering thing and so I think and and fans stuck by it so that's why I think it's so special it's because then they got to really develop that world so fully yeah it it does um it it does have its own universe and because you're dealing with a lot of different aspects of um like biohazard materials or you have uh biohazard materials or um monsters animals you can do pretty much anything you want to I think they've created a universe where it's pretty much free form they could do something where it's based on science do something it's based on nature mix it all together and then something completely different and it all works it just it's just one of those things when it works it works let's talk a little bit about the fans was there any concern going into this that oh are the fans going to like this is you know because they it is a huge fan base and they like what they like and they're vocal about it yeah they are um I think as far as pleasing the fans I think the fans will enjoy it I mean I know I did but um and I'm a fan but I think fans will enjoy it because it has a feel of a liveaction video game and a movie all at the same time so I think it'll please fans from the very first game up until recent years as well I I I Echo that I me anybody who it just hitss on so many levels on horror on action on characters it's got great characters do you care about these people uh so I think I think fans will be lucky and and I was nervous about portraying a character that was in it you know in it from the beginning but hadn't been seen in like 20 years so I hope I hope that you guys I hope you like it she did a fantastic job I know you're going to love it I had less pressure because my character was actually created for this movie it's the first one so I was like yeah do whatever I want to and we're good and it's model after him so you see his his so it's actually me not a bad view all right well guys I really enjoyed it I thought it was great lots of action lots of blood but lots of action um and I love the whole you know oh there's a virus but there's an antidote but is there and yeah I thought that was great so and it keeps you on your toes yeah absolutely so thank you so much for your time today and and great success with it thanks than guys [Music]
