Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
I wrote the system that translated the animation of the Hippogriff in Harry Potter to a large motion base with the model Hippogriff mounted on to it, along with the actualtors for the wing stubs and neck. The actors would then ride the motion controlled Hippogriff, ensuring their motions looked natural once the model Hippogriff was replaced by the CG one. The tool was written in MEL in Maya.
