Nash was on hand, even as the Stanley Cup Finals are still in progress, because he’s the cover star for 2K Sports’ forthcoming hockey video game, NHL 2K9. And he was here, in this small studio in a non-descript office park for an all-day motion-capture filming session for the game.
The idea is that by filming several dozen of Nash’s moves—shots, skating tricks, dekes and more—with special motion-capture cameras, 2K Sports—a division of Grand Theft Auto publisher Take-Two Interactive—will be able to incorporate some of what it calls Nash’s “signature” moves into the game.
That’s why 2K Sports has set up 56 of the motion-capture cameras all around the studio, on the ceiling and close to the floor: Together, they can take all the data they record and stitch it together into a realistic representation of Nash’s real-life movements.
