Interesting analysis! I agree that animation as a technique can not really be divorced from motion-capture, no matter how realistic it looks. It's the difficulty with trying to fit things into strictly defined categories. I think anyone making a film, especially a VFX driven film (but really all films to some degree), just use whatever clever or useful techniques they can find to get the desired images on-screen. That means fully mixing and matching artistic or performance techniques that get the best results. Like in the original Planet of the Apes, you could maybe argue that an actor performing through prosthetics is really a sophisticated, unique form or puppetry, or that puppeteers controlling an animatronic character (or a Muppet!) are really actors. as long as they get the desired results, the category doesn't really matter, though I'd argue that proper credit and recognition (and compensation) for everyone's work does matter. Should a stunt double or a hand model for specific shots be considered a "true" actor for that character? They certainly could be making important acting choices, just in very specific ways related to their craft. Sometimes an actor's performance on set can be transformed or completely changed through how it is edited, so maybe an editor in some sense is "acting" or at least contributing choices to the character's performance in those cases. We could also flip the mocap animation vs. performance capture question around: are animators really actors, actually? Hand-animated performances can be just as realistic or exaggerated, honest, emotional and human as any live-action performance. It's just a matter of how much time and skill an animator has, and how well they collaborate with character designers, storyboard artists, modelers, texture artists, etc. Films like Into/Across the Spider-Verse, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Beauty and the Beast, etc. are just a few examples. Animation is just a different collection of skills and methods used to create a character's performance in a movie.

Good video! I think mocap is definitely a form of animation, but one much closer to the "real"... maybe something in between. A hybrid type of animation, a bit like stop-motion / claymation which exists in real life physically while still being animation.
@NeverHoldBackReviews20 күн бұрын
I completely agree and I never thought of comparing mocap to stop motion but that is another great point.
@theoneyednightwing855823 күн бұрын
Excellent analysis. Out of interest do you think separations between the vocal and mocap performances (e.g. lawerence fishburn voicing the silver surfer whilst Doug jones physical play him) play into the idea of the cyber star or do they operate as extentions of the collobrative effort?
@NeverHoldBackReviews23 күн бұрын
@theoneyednightwing8558 I believe that, in an ideal world, separations between the vocal and mocap performances are extensions of the collaborative effort. However, in honesty, for most people they do play into the idea of the cyberstar as there's an increased ambiguity around the origin of the performance. Therefore the impact would have an alienating effect on the audience as they merely see the mocap character as a CGI construct as opposed to a carefully crafted performance mixed with animation work.

Seems only fitting, that Oppenheimer was a big winner at the Oscars. Because when you think about it, what was the one thing that benefitted from the dropping of Hiroshima and Nagasaki? The 70-year old monster franchise from Japan, GODZILLA!!!!! Ahh, excuse me, Academy Award-winner GODZILLA!!!!!!!

Ok I am sorry Percilla is in no way a modern day or any kind of a princess. Elvis was considered the King Of Rock & Roll. He was a king of his craft. There is nothing that makes Percilla a Queen . Plus she is not a widow she is an ex wife who has lived of her ex husband all her lufe from age 14 and still is. Plus she trys to paint herself up as thus innocent little girl which could not be more wrong. Plus she has bashes still to this day but loves profiting from him and hus family. I can not take any of her words as gospel since she has said all these things since his death. He is not here to tell his side. Yet there have been plenty who were around both of them daily and dispute what she says. A more closer version to the truth is in the book child bride more then this damsel in distress load of lies that Percilla has created and Coppola bought into. Plus Elvis Presley interprise dud not stand behind this movie and did not allow them to use Elvis movie or other private things they have allowed for others. Percilla only brought in around 20 million at the box office. Where as 2022 Baz Elvis movie starting Austin Butler who did an amazing job and was robbed of the Oscar and the film got shut out with 8 nominations had around 300 million at the box office and this was coming out of the heals of corona19 as well. A truly real interesting thing to research would be to look at all the movies done about Elvis throughout the years and see where the Percilla movie ranks in sells. Plus the biggest truth no one woyld even know who Percilla was if she had not wormed her way onto his life. Do not feel sorry for her 1 bit but I do feel sorry for her son who has lived in the shadows all is life and treated as a dirty little secret of who Percilla never really talks about. No wonder he has struggled most of his life this is truths people like to ignore.

Absolutely agree! Just saw this yesterday and I'd give it an 8.5 or 9/10 personally. Really exceeded my already high expectations- though I do agree it can come across as a little preachy (sometimes that's what a mainstream film needs, I think) I loved how they resolved the Ken and Barbie storyline in the end :) Ferrell's character was a bit unnecessary, but not bad at all per se. Sort of subverted expectations about who the 'real' villain was going to be ! It was everything a Barbie movie needed to be and more.
