GTA's Tommy Vercetti Talks MoCap

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to an ESCmag feature interviewing Jonathan Sale, the motion-capture actor for Tommy Vercetti in GTA:Vice City. The talk includes some illuminating details on the actual capture sessions for the Ray Liotta-voiced lead character: "The getaway car that the lawyer uses to help Tommy escape at the beginning after the coke deal goes bad was just four metal folding chairs, a Fisher-Price steering wheel (literally) and a wrestling mat covering the 'back seat' so that I didn't hurt myself jumping in."

How did they mo-cap the scenes where Tommy picks up one of the fine ladies of Vice City in his car to .. erm .. restore his health?

  Or when he colorfully 'salutes' oncoming traffic? Bet that was a fun day.
