"If I may, can I put my petition forward for why we need to have a motion capture category?"
"It's been decades of actors going in, doing the mocap, and then someone else's voice is popped on top, and those mocap performers just disappear. I forgot that. Nobody knows about them."
"The audience doesn't know enough about this because there's not enough attention on it."
"If we had an award category for mocap specifically, then studios would be encouraged to release that behind-the-scenes footage because people are desperate for it. Studios keep that a bit quiet because it gives away details on how they made the game."
Expedition 33 became the most-nominated game in The Game Awards history, with its cast earning major recognition in performance categories. Cast members including Jennifer English, Shayla Nyx, Devora Wilde, and Aliona Baranova urged expansion of performance categories to formally recognize motion-capture and other behind-the-scenes contributors. Baranova noted decades of mocap performers whose physical work disappears when different actors provide voices and cited her experience as a motion-capture director on Baldur's Gate 3. Greater recognition could encourage studios to release behind-the-scenes footage, increase audience understanding of the craft, and ensure credit for performers such as motion-capture artist Maxence Carzole.
