well here we go i am sure that my blog is bound to make die hard fans of movies mentioned angry sad and happy . let me first give you some background of where i am coming from on this. in 1993 a movie was released called Jurassic park. at the time i was in junior high and the film was being released on the last day of school. before Summer break(before year round school). most of the kids around me or that were my age wore looking foreword to the almost three month long summer break.but as for my best Friend Jason and myself we couldn't wait for the amazing book turned movie Jurassic park. it was going to be amazing right! well the school bell rang we walked to the theater and the amazement of cg and believable dinosaurs was meld into our lives forever. we ate breathed sculpted and drew our own dinosaurs all summer long . it was fantastic.
i dreamed of one day becoming a cg animator i read up on he proses and idea behind it and like a million other people dreamed dreamed of creating the beasts for Hollywood ,and working for industrial lights and magic. this was only re established when uncle George did the most amazing thing ever and re released the 1997 versions of star wars.
I couldn't put my finger on it @ the time do to me being such a large fan of the films but it was odd the cg was not as good as Jurassic park a film that had been released before the re releases. let me again say i love all the films i am about to discuss and have worked for Lucas film the company all fan boys dream of.
i later and over time realized what was wrong was usually the thing i was noticing that i couldn't put my finger on was that the computer generated character was not believable because it wasn't. for the sake of time and your boredom i will get to the point.films that are in the present market that seem to work for me as far as cg goes are the majority of pirates of the Caribbean do to the motion capture of the main actors. the next would be all of the hell boy films and pans labyrinth or the films done by
Guillermo Del Toro.

the reason the characters appeared to be so believable was that there were actors on partial prosthetics and old movie costumes with partial cg overlays to give the characters the basis of movement and reality based acting and visualization. throughout its proses the characters movement could be added to the character and produce a more believable character. now i do know that this has been employed in all of the above films i cant leave out the T- Rex from Jurassic park. i cant leave out Davey Jones from pirates i mean for the love of god my tattoo parlor is the flying Dutchman. basically all i am saying is that i believe it is a Moore believable and reliable technique for the film maker to rely on than all cg. i mean do your own count in your head of characters that employ both as opposed to one or the other. i will show you to of my favorites Davey Jones and lord voldamort.
but the film avatar was amazing with all the cg and the motion capture it was amazing. well I'm sure i could talk about this for hours but it is the day of giving thanks and i need more pie so here i go to indulge my pie craving have a good nite all.
