Heh You should hear some of the expletives that Milt Kahl (One of the great old Disney animatotrs and mentor to Brad Bird) had to say about the rotoscoping used in some early Disney films. Mocap for Live action VFX work, or games. is totally appropriate, However... I personally think that when used extensively in animated films Mocap can feel like watching a cheap Live action movie. An extremely good example of this is the recent Film adaptation of Masamune Shirow's Appleseed. While the mocap worked pretty good in the action sequences (like the opening sequence which kicks ass) The more intimate dramatic parts really feel like a low budget Japanese live action film. a few scenes work, but it is dissapointing to watch. The best shots in the movie are by far the landmate action shots, and they were keyframed. I won't even bother bashing FFTSWI as that's like kicking a dead horse. Anyway This is all just my opinion and I apologize for being provocative in my previous posts, I was having a bad day. :)
