The Future of Animated Acting

Australians In Film Screening Of "Avatar"

A reader sent me this video this morning of the making of Avatar. It talks about how technology has changed animated acting, and how an animated actor’s facial expressions will be much more genuine than before. I thought you might enjoy this!

I have to say for me, if the actor isn’t good to begin with, it still won’t make much of a difference. Regular actors, for the most part, in general don’t capture my attention because they often miss the mark. Dang! I was hoping for some miracle 🙂

Thanks, Christoph.

Starting today, I am no longer allowing anonymous users. People who are anonymous are usually the rudest and most unrestrained in the comment section. With that, today, I have implemented authentication for users who post here. Honest people usually don’t have a problem with this. If you do, let me know and I will reconsider. Thanks!

Notice to My Readers

Vinyl Ready Art - Road Signs

Things have been getting heated in the comment sections lately, and I want to stress my comment rules. It is important that people feel safe sharing their opinions and lately, I do not feel this is happening.

If you want to post an opinion on Eyes for Lies, I have a few requirements. First and foremost, keep it civilized, respectful and do not use any vulgar language. Second, I will NOT tolerate personal attacks. While I absolutely welcome dissenting opinions, and encourage them, if they are not respectful towards others, I will delete them and ban the offending poster without hesitation. There are a few commenters out there who are pushing my acceptability limits.

I also do not support discussions about religion and politics (arguing sides) as people are emotional about these topics and when people are emotional, tempers flare, and the truth, at that point, has little importance. Please avoid topics that are not directly related to the content that are highly debated.

Last, you, as readers, also have the power of veto. If a poster says something you think is inflaming, or disrespectful, you have the power to remove their comment. Just click on the “Flag” option below the post. When you do this, no one will see it but me. Three flags and the post will automatically be deleted by the JS-Kit software.

Please respect these guidelines.
