Quote - By the same token, if you look at FINAL FANTASY: SPIRITS WITHIN or MONSTER HOUSE, you can see far better applications of mocap than BEOWULF.

As was Gollum (mocapped from the actor Andy Serkis ) My point was that the kind of mocap use the OP is talking about, ie "all of motions and face expression of a new 3d movie [is] completely created with motion capture applying to 3d figures" is usually not a good idea. Or at least not without a couple of experienced animators to help.

BTW i agree about Monster House, though FF i don't like that much. But since they were trying something radically new (full length CG flic with no talking animals and a realistic style) i guess they can be forgiven for not quite meeting their goals.
