Affordance and low tech savvyness are the rea - sons why small budget films and independent film makers are not able to access the available high quality motion capture technologies. This project deals with the study of how to make an affordable technology for capturing facial expressions. It started with the study of the different kinds of motion capture, followed by their usage in films and the reasons why they are not affordable. Different techniques were evaluated based on their ease of use, learnability, affordance, and quality of the captured data. Based on the study, a low-cost technique was tested, and the process was documented as a quick learning tutorial for shortening the learning curve of a user.
