GameSpoon - Prince of Persia

Prince of Persia Animation Reference 1985 from jordan mechner on Vimeo.

I picked this up at Kotaku, this is fantastic! This is the original motion capture video used for the character animation in Prince of Persia. According to Kotaku, "[t]hat's PoP creator Jordan Mechner's little brother, running around in baggy pants. Mechner took this footage, tracked his bro's movements then based the Prince's animation on them."

Pretty rad.
