Of course it seems desirable, in view of the current taste for realism, for the actor playing a retainer to copy the gestures and speech of a real retainer, but would a real retainer rouge and powder his face the way actors do? Or, would the audiences like it if an actor, on the grounds that real retainers pay no attention to how they look, were to perform unshaven or displaying a bald head? The theater is unreal, and yet not unreal, real and yet not real. Entertainment lies between the two.</i> -- Chikamatsu, 17th century playwrightCelshaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835531857425033524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-7826407815396969592015-05-05T13:56:22.427-07:002015-05-05T13:56:22.427-07:00CGI still works best in terms of suspension of dis...CGI still works best in terms of suspension of disbelief when design (including lighting and rendering) and animation are both caricatured (in an animated film), as opposed to trying to pass for something that physically exists. I think this is true whether or not it is composited with live-action elements. In the latter case, it should be used sparingly and in ways that do not expose it to easy scrutiny, or else it's just going to get in the way of buying into the film...not that this has had any impact at the box office outside of motion capture-based animated features.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12783961976680326998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-12077068241022712302015-05-05T10:01:46.603-07:002015-05-05T10:01:46.603-07:00Folks plunked down money to see a robot fight a Vi...Folks plunked down money to see a robot fight a Viking god, an armored knight, and the Jolly Green Giant. Something tells me they'll never accept what they see on the screen as "real." At best, the film suspends their disbelief.Celshaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835531857425033524noreply@blogger.com
