Blog Entry #5: Digital Actors

I think that this is both acting an animation. I think it is acting because without the actors, there will be no facial features to combine or use. Motion tracking plays a major role in animation because sensors follow the actor’s movements and corresponding to what the sensors picks up, the animation is made.
There should be awards given to the actors of this film although most of it is animation because the animation is based on the facial gestures and movements that not anybody can perform for film. It is technically like a normal film with normal characters but the only thing different is that there are a lot of tweaks (like size, color, etc.).
I do unfortunately think that actors will one day become obsolete. After the constant use of actors just for basic movements, a template could be made where these movements are easier to make digitally and all the facial gestures would be able to do with a few codes.
