Thinking AVATAR
Posted on at
so, since i saw my first Motion Capture movie "polar Express" the tehnology envolved
and even after "Beowoolf" i realize the pover of animation... but after "AVATAR" i get
the point -this tehnology is future of modern cinema!! Why? Because emotions of
these 3D carachters were far mor behind human actors, and power of my viewers
believe in them was the best one... only by this simple fact, that these blue
humanioids was animated. So here i am at the edge of choosing by my viewers path,
do i want to believe in real human actor, or i can believe with no doubts to animated
character in animated world. I choose 2! Cos in first case, actor is a human like me
and doing his best to emulate story and hero of my inner mind... ok, he is good, but
what next? He is so "correct" and "straight", that i can believe him until one
pont...where i catch myself thinking: ok this is a movie and it can't do nothing with my soul... ok, i cried, laught but thats all..
instead animated character!
Why,
because animated character can do the same things what real actor even more, but differencies
are in my mind, animated character for me is an absoloute, hi is against depicting
documentary real lifes simulation on screen. Even if he will do that same regular
action - drinking tea from cup- who do my mind will believe more? Tom Cruise or Blue
Avatar?... moust will scream Tom, Tom... but i believe mind will catch up on Blue
Avatar tea drinkers actions, cos them are more literature, more abstract, and leave more place
for our mind, our imagination.
And imagination is pushing force for characthers life, even if there are little amount of it. So cant wait until next motion ccapture artpiece... and who knows maybe after 10 years, all dead moviestars will apear in new - upgraded reality films, in what we wil believe more than real Greta Garbo or Humphrey Bogart.
