Lecture 16: Intro to Animation (8)

I have a question here: to fully capture the movement of the body, do we have to add at least one additional marker for every movable joint? I think otherwise we will lose add least how this single joint moves

Adding onto the previous comment, is there a reason why the spine isn't more finely accounted for? I was thinking that maybe it isn't necessary for the type of moment the motion is trying to capture

At least from a visual standpoint, I guess it's harder to tell the differences between movements in the spine. This might be because of the visual shape of the body, or maybe because while your spine has many vertebrae, they have to work together to move properly.

How can we determine the angle that the user is facing the camera in? It looks like the points are forming a 2D cloud rather than a 3D cloud that takes into account the depth of each point. Would we be combining the methods of depth perception in the previous camera lectures?
