The guider would be very useful.

I intend to use this model in an actual film....I have to animate the pianist. This was going to be my plan:

Place a camera over my piano pointing straight down, and another to the right on the x-axis. Turn on the video recording and play the piece. Rotoscope. That would give me gross body and arm movement, plus hand placement. I would leave finger animation alone until my final virtual camera movements were in place, then animate the fingers only where actually noticable.
