At the center of Whitney Houston biopic ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’ are performances with crowds upwards of 70,000 people, taking place over a period of 40 years. This talk explores a collaborative new process using volumetric video capture for generating authentic crowds, with each extra captured in 3D.
