Hey Bent, spot on assesment re: Mocap.

Adding further to your quote "It takes a skilled animator work with Mocap successfully...," one will also need skilled physical/ dramatic mocap actors, a skilled director, efficient capturing facility, techies to define your pipeline and build rigs specific to the animators' needs and purposes.

And it only starts being cheap if you spend a lot on a big library (volume) of actions. To illustrate: walk cycle that's done from scratch in one afternoon vs going to the whole gamut of capturing for that 1 action.
