Actually, I think that this is a combination of both acting and animation because it includes the essential skill of acting and animation processing. Initially, the actor must suit in animation instruments before the actor or actress does his or her job. Once the actor/actress performs, he/she is expressing much emotion and physical movement, that it is detected by the animation instruments, which is later used to contribute in the animation process.
2) Do you think that animated character should be eligible for acting awards?
I think the animated characters should not eligible for acting awards because these animated characters are all just the ‘reflection’ of the genuine actor that was responsible of running its lines, creating its facial expressions and part of its physical movement. I only think that the animated character should be the ‘label’ of the actor’s acting in the specific movie or television show. After all, how will the animated character have the ability to accept an award at the Grammy’s?
3) Do you think that human actors will ever become obsolete? Why or why not?
I believe human actors would not become obsolete, because the incorporation of animated characters only become useful of certain genres of movies, video games, or television shows, such as Sci-Fi. Ultimately, humans were the initial acting establishment in the Hollywood industry.
Asides from Assassin`s Creed: Brother, the latest video games like the *** far more superior: *** Call of Duty Black Ops, also animate the movement of human actors to generate the game character’s maneuver abilities such as, crouching, jumping, shooting, reloading, swapping, diving, sprinting, etc
Well said on question 2. I completely agree that the animated character should only be the 'label' for the actor. It should only be there to show everyone what role they played to be nominated for an award. Also an excellent idea on pointing out on how an animated character can accept the award. Great post!
ReplyDeleteGood job James. I like this blog because I completely agree with everything you said. This blog is very true. I agree that animated characters can accept awards. This is a good post. I like your blogs James, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you on all your answers, they were well thought out! Animation and Acting are both key components in Digital Acting. The Acting is the structure and the animation that is later added just enhances it. Therefore human actors will not become obsolete anytime soon. There are just some things that humans can do, that animation cannot mimic.
ReplyDeleteI agree with all of your answers. Acting and animation do share the same concept in digital acting. The only difference is that actors shows us more of a passionate expression when they are acting, while animation only shows us the actors voice and not as much of their facial expression.
