So that's it? nothing fancy? nothing expensive?

I really don't know about facial motion capture on TF2 models. The facial mocap you see on many games and films nowadays are possible because the models themselves use facial bones instead of flexes (or shape keys or blend shapes, whatever you want to call them). Facial bones can be tracked through mocap, which is something that, I believe, isn't possible with flexes.

You'll find the Kinect, despite being rudimentary at best, an efficient tool for motion capturing actual body movements. Unfortunately, it can't capture facial movements (to my knowledge), and even then it may be completely botched when applied to a model in SFM. I haven't found a way to pioneer into facial mocap for the program, but there's a good amount of information for motion capture in general for the SFM.

You can easily MoCap with a program such as IpiSoft: http://ipisoft.com/

and can find many useful bits and bobs on how to implement mocap into SFM from Zachariah Scott's tutorials: http://www.youtube.com/user/Ronaldthecock

Hope I've helped :D.

what the people do for cock-0-dooty is mocap their faces https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7BT8s1CI7Uc skip to 0:26 and look at what the guy has on his face
youll need those and you will need the power to make those things work with sfm

Those motion sensors are expensive, as well as the equipment required to make it work. Thousands of dollars can go into it, and I doubt Source models are fit to handle them.
