Is it weird I find this funny and annoying at the same time?
Don’t forget Martin Starr!
Am waiting for James Cameron to build a whole motion capture city for Avatar 3 lol. Hell he might even put a mo cap suit on birds too. I remember when i wanted to be a animator back in the day and i was panicking that this would replace animators and I wouldn’t have a job. silly me
This reminds me of this video.

Hey! I posted the video link before you do!
Cute. Worthy viewing. Thanks!
If you wondered what went wrong for Michael Bay between Miami Vice (the TV series) and Transformers, the ironic answers is computers. He got LAZY when computers came down his workflow.
Lots of promise all wasted.
Actually, Michael MANN created Miami Vice. He’s gone on to create a number of smart successful feature films.
Never let the facts get in the way of a good rant.
“I am a toilet.”
first time mo-cap really makes me happy!
Well … not that funny.
There was a short film some 2 yrs ago, about people going to work every day, with jobs like being a doormat or a chair. That was a great idea with some serious thinking behind it. This one is just unnecessary.
They blew the reveal of humans playing inanimate objects. The fact that they are playing objects is the joke and they chose to reveal it in long shots. I guess that makes this piece die rather than the other option.
As wood say Arte Johnson (some 4 decades ago), “verrrrrrrrry interesting!” I can relate. Sometimes i, TOO, am “a toilet!” Great!!!Is this how they filmed “Mighty Joe Y” (90s!?)
This reminds me of a sketch from the series Time Trumpet a few years back:

Nothing new about this really – it has been spoofed and parodied so many times that its lost its charm.
