The Hobo's (Tom Hanks) motion capture coffee pot from Robert Zemeckis' animated adventure film The Polar Express. The Hobo prepared coffee over a fire and offered Hero Boy (also Hanks) a "cup of Joe" on the train's roof. Physical props and costume components were used by live-performing actors, who dressed in Lycra suits covered in sensors for the purposes of motion capture. The actors and the props they held were then overlaid with computer-generated 3D models.

Several props were made from wire or mesh so the motion capture cameras could still read the sensor-marker dots on the actor.

Made of sculpted thin black wire, the coffee pot features an opening lid, a handle, and a narrow spout and sits on four legs. Dimensions: 20 cm x 15 cm x 24 cm (8" x 5 3/4" x 9 1/2")

Estimate: £1,000 - 1,500 Ω
