Making "Madden" More Real

"Only On The Web": Richard Schlesinger talks to Kenny Bell, the motion-capture actor bringing the NFL's most athletic and creative moves to EA Sports' hit, Madden NFL, and Ian Cummings, an EA producer.

Talk about the concept of a DigiSelf - certainly an interesting and unusual job. Check out this CBS News story.

This clip is a phenomenal example of how video games thrive in acoustic space. Based on reading, The Cultural Paradox of the Global Village, the “digiSelf” has revolutionized this form of entertainment. High performing athletes are used as actors to provide the most authentic experience possible for the gamers. As video game creators continue to develop innovative ways to capture the movements and styles of professional athletes, it is possible for this process to merge the digital and real worlds once and for all. Who knows maybe Tom Brady will wear a camera during game day so that his exact movements can be translated to the newest video game.
