Comments on: Robert Zemeckis wants to Make a Motion Capture ROGER RABBIT Sequel http://geektyrant.com/2009/04/5334/ Geek Movie and Entertainment News Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:11:25 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Zemeckis please retire http://geektyrant.com/2009/04/5334/comment-page-1/#comment-1032 Zemeckis please retire Fri, 01 May 2009 06:52:46 +0000 http://www.geektyrant.com/?p=5334#comment-1032 That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. Okay the ridiculous idea is that the characters that he wants to mo cap are cartoon characters! It doesn't make any sense because mo cap is supposed to capture realistic movements which is the complete opposite of cartoon movement. How the heck is an actor in a mocap suit going to jump six feet in the air and have his eyes bug out of his skull? That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

In other words, it wont happen. If this movie happens, it will only be because Zemeckis manages to make both Disney and Warner Bros happy.

"Performance Capture" is not an advancement! Why do you think Disney animators don't trace over live action footage? Because it makes the characters look dead! Or being dragged around on meat hooks. Motion capture is only good in cases like Gollum or King Kong where animated characters need to exist along side live action characters. And in those cases animators are there, constantly massaging the motion capture to look right. There is no point in having an all motion-capture movie. Zemeckis is just doing this so he only has to work 9-5. Or so he can put the camera anywhere which is NOT a good idea. (Who wants to see the camera shoved into the back of some screaming girl's throat?(Beowulf)). Mo-crap can't top the 2-D animation done by Richard Williams and James Baxter in the original. Nothing good can come of this. This man needs to be stopped! “Performance Capture” is not an advancement! Why do you think Disney animators don’t trace over live action footage?
