SAG has absolutely nothing to do with it. Working conditions? Really?

A lot of roto is just traced movement--not a lot of thought put into it (inkwell, bakshi).<br /><br />Motion capture captures the movements of fully capable actors and turns them into zombie like, weightless, unappealing mush.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-3228712315632951322009-11-21T11:44:48.697-08:002009-11-21T11:44:48.697-08:00There is a huge difference between rotoscope and m...There is a huge difference between rotoscope and mo-cap, especially the way it's used in "Christmas Carol."<br /><br />The old fashioned hand drawn rotoscoping as used in "Out of the Inkwell" and Disney features like "Snow White" etc., were used as a basic action armature, which was then reworked into a character design bearing little resemblance to the original actor/dancer/model. In Mo-Cap, with the possible exception of Gollum, we are meant to recognize the actor which is what leads to all of those familiar image/copyright issues.My 2 Centsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-85766387041157988912009-11-20T21:30:17.015-08:002009-11-20T21:30:17.015-08:00Animators, TAKE NOTE!
