If the film is badly...This is all about arrogance. <br />If the film is badly animated whether Mo-Cap or traditional (or somewhere in-between) the chances of it getting a nomination for Best Animated Film are very slim much less would it win. So those that made this decision don't have faith in the nominating committee or in the voting process. Re-work the nomination process if they think there's a problem - or keep people from voting (for the final award)if they can't prove they haven't seen all the films. That's the biggest problem if you ask me and almost guarantees Pixar a win any year it's nominated just due to name recognition and the chances of a film like the Illusionist ever winning again.<br /><br />If the producers of a film want to submit it and call their Mo-Cap animation or live-action how does that bother anyone? All this is doing is shoving us into more of a ghetto than ever. <br />If someone like Cameron doesn't want to admit their film is mostly animated (and deny animators their due credit) then big deal. That's his gamble. If the Animation Board wanted to go after something that should be their cause - force films like Avatar to be submitted into the animation category and stop Cameron from lying about how his film was made (with the significant contributions of real animators) not go after someone who is using the digital equivalent to roto-scoping.<br /><br />My guess is this will bite animation on the ass in the future to all of our regret.yahwehnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-78730269947002969932011-06-05T08:06:13.080-07:002011-06-05T08:06:13.080-07:00I technically agree.

The problem is that a lot of times the mocap data is not being used and people animate by hand, so the movie ends up being traditionally animated, but the studio still labels it as a fully mocapped movie. <br /><br />And as always, the people complaining about mocap are the ones who don't work with it. Ignorance is bliss. <br /><br />JDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-15535875427684323482011-06-05T05:30:48.273-07:002011-06-05T05:30:48.273-07:00hey very good collection of informationhey very good collection of informationmadhavihttp://animationind.blogspot.com/p/making-of-telugu-movies.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-57960755599503464892011-06-05T01:01:42.735-07:002011-06-05T01:01:42.735-07:00The method of the animation should not dictate if ...The method of the animation should not dictate if a film should be called animated or not. THis basically discounts all of the hard work that the modelers, texture artists, lighters, riggers, FX artists put in. Just because one part of the pipeline uses a different method of animation, does not disqualify it as an animated film.<br /><br />If motion capture is the only thing that makes an animated film not an animated film, then by that very same token, a robot that has had it's motion derived from hand created animation and filmed live action can be an animated film, because by some peoples very distinct ideals, that real robot has been hand animated.<br /><br />The animators or motion capture artists are not the only part of the animation pipeline for goodness sakes.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
