A one-minute painted explainer of what the archive's code counts, followed by background on performance capture and where to check credits.
Video game characters are increasingly performed, not just voiced. This archive explorer opens on Debra Wilson, with six roles in its database and five pinned to a career dossier. Each role carries a performance type: full performance capture, where body, face and voice are recorded together; voice plus motion capture; or voice alone. The dossier's Mocap Intensity is a simple share: pinned roles whose type mentions capture, divided by all pinned roles. All five default picks qualify, so it reads one hundred percent, even though the page's placeholder says eighty. AAA Studios counts distinct developers, keeping only the name before any slash. Five roles, five studios: Respawn, Bungie, NetherRealm, Rocksteady and MachineGames. Watch the filters, though. The Voice-Only pill keeps any role with voice in its label, so motion capture roles slip through. Switch to all actors, pin more roles, and watch the mix shift. And check credits against official sources: this database is the tool's own.
Motion capture records an actor's body movement with markers or sensors; performance capture records body, face and voice together so a single take drives the digital character. Voice-only roles are recorded in a booth and animated separately.
The tool divides the number of pinned roles whose performance type contains the word "Capture" by the number of pinned roles. With the five default Debra Wilson picks that is 5 of 5, or 100% ("High Mocap & Physical Rigging"). Pinning all fourteen roles in the database gives 12 of 14, about 86%.
The studio count takes each pinned role's developer, keeps only the text before the first slash (so "Respawn Entertainment / EA" becomes "Respawn Entertainment"), and counts the distinct names.
The "Voice-Only / Cinematic" pill keeps every role whose type contains "Voice", which includes "Voice & Motion Capture" and "Voice & Facial Performance" roles. Read its results as "roles with a voice component", not voice-only.
Role descriptions, standout scenes and some credits in the database are the tool's own summaries. Confirm credits with official game credits, studio announcements or awards listings before citing them.

How does the archive filter video game performance credits, calculate motion-capture intensity, and export dossier records?
This archive catalogs 14 curated voice and performance capture credits across major studios. The client filters the master collection in real time by actor name, performance tier, or text search, while the dossier tracks user-pinned entries to calculate studio breadth and capture intensity.
The archive comprises a hand-curated showcase of 14 landmark roles rather than a complete industry census. Mocap intensity is a descriptive ratio of tagged capture entries in the user's active dossier, not a formal studio budget or hours metric.
Select "Troy Baker" in the actor dropdown. The left panel updates to show 2 roles (Joel Miller and Higgs Monaghan). Click "+ Add to Dossier" on Joel Miller: the Dossier Roles counter increments from 5 to 6, and the unique AAA Studios count adjusts based on the newly added development credit.
The tool maintains a static in-memory array of credit records with actor name, character, game title, developer, year, performance type, and impact notes. When filtering, string matching inspects character, game, developer, actor, and summary fields simultaneously.
Mocap intensity is computed as the count of pinned roles whose performance classification string contains 'Capture' or 'Mocap', divided by the total pinned count and rounded to the nearest integer percent. Studio diversity isolates the primary developer name before any slash delimiter to count distinct production houses.
When generating CSV exports, each textual field is enclosed in double quotation marks, and existing internal double quotes are escaped by doubling them (pairing them) in conformance with RFC 4180 rules for text/csv data representation.

Specifies standard CSV syntax, record delimiters, and the requirement that double quotes inside quoted fields be escaped with a preceding double quote.
