Default Question about more Animations

As I've been playing with animations for SH3 I decided it was a slow process to create them.
So I started looking for a faster way to do this.
Motion capture is great but there's very few out there that actually can be used in Game.
(unless you want a dock with dancers, karate moves, etc.)
So I tracked down a few free programs that allow the creation/editing of .bvh files!
My reasoning is,
if one can work with stick men, and create the type moves or such that one wants?
Those that can import that into several programs could create a Library of new animations
for SH3!
Here is an example of how this could work.
Say Sailor Steve wants guys running from an explosion on deck.
He uses one of the programs to edit/create a new .bvh file by playing with a Stick man.
He's done the animation work!
He uploads the .bvh file, I download it and convert it to 3d Max .bip format.
I load the base model and the new .bip?
Wham, bam, Thank You Mam!
Animation is done and ready for import to a dat file!
I upload the .obj files and someone else grabs them and uses S3D to import and do the final timing
so it look right in Game.
That Someone releases the newer Community Animations .dat file.
All modders can now add the new animations as they see fit.
Does this thought interest anyone?
