HOT-COCOA SHOW! While Jon Favreau's "The Jungle Book" is wowing audiences it's also kicked up a conversation about the role of Motion Capture in movies and if it should be considered Live-Action or Animation. We've talked about mo-cap on the podcast but this time I decided to do my research on the path that the technology has taken over the years and how it relates to the distinction in what the final product is called and broke it all down the way only we do on the RubberOnion Animation Podcast! I'd love to hear your thoughts (preferably after you listen to the show haha) in the comments section below. Enjoy the show! Please Rate & Review us on iTunes And you can now listen to us out on SoundCloud! Topics & Timestamps:(12:20) The
"Avatar" Problem
(32:57) Motion
Capture vs Rotoscope
(58:03)
Possible Step 1: "Does the audience know it's animation?"
(1:07:10)
Possible Step 2: "Is it filmed in camera?"
(1:10:25)
Possible Step 3: "Is it replication or refinement?"
(1:20:07) So...
what's the answer?!
