npr.org – by Mandalit del Barco – Jasiri Booker’s parkour and breaking movements are used to animate the title character in Marvel’s Spider-Man: Miles Morales video game.
“I stick to walls. I beat people up. I get beaten up constantly, get electrocuted and turn invisible,” the 26-year-old says.
He and other performers act out action sequences that make video games come to life.
But earlier this month, Booker picketed outside Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, Calif., along with hundreds of other video game performers and members of the union SAG-AFTRA. They plan to picket again outside Disney Character Voices in Burbank on Thursday.
