MoCap Haka Ka Mate
For many years I have dreamt about creating a short video with the Haka, where a bunch of tourists watch a Haka on a remote beach.
At the end, when they stick their tongue out, an old lady walks forward and slides a stamp across a tongue, before she sticks the stamp on a postcard from her holiday.
But I need the Mocap of the Ka Mate Haka. I have tried doing it by painstakingly moving my character, but it never turns out right.
Does anyone have a MoCap I can use? Sorry - I can't pay for it on the grounds of being not too well off.

I would be careful with this, While I see the funny side to it, Maori may find it quite offensive.
I don't think many Maoris are American Republicans. And judging by the comments on many of the videos on Youtube where the Haka is performed by people "going through the motions" rather than feeling it, I actually believe Maoris are great people and will understand the joke.
You will also notice that many films are poking innocent fun of Maoris, and none of the actors have been killed.
In any way. I refuse to go through the world in constant fear that someone will object violently to me living and enjoying life.
Dont get me wrong, I think your idea is cool, just giving you a heads up, People were offended by this video. youtube.com/watch
I do appreciate your thoughts. But if we had to self censure every time someone was offended, the world would grind to a halt. And I have of course read a lot of the comments on the gingerbread videos. I also noticed that a lot of the "offended people posts" weren't even from Maori people, but were from people who were offended on behalf of the Maori. And a lot of Maori people actually found it funny.
Also - there is a world of difference between making fun of the Maori traditions and making a situational joke.
Anyway. Noone seems to have a MoCap, so I'll probably never get it done. And I will not repost this request every two weeks as certain annoying "view fishing" people on this forum do.
