 Computer-Generated Images in Movies
This morning a friend and I started talking about the movie Blade Runner because I have just bought the sound track. This led to a discussion on how, unlike is often the case with that genre of film, we really cared about the characters... even the machines.
Somewhere along the line the conversation turned to the notion of employing computer-generated images in movies. IMO, this question is the genetic engineering issue of movie making. In many ways it has enormous potential. The dinosaurs of Jurassic Park are a great example. Equally, LOTR's most profoundly moving and tragic figure (Gollum) was a blend of an actor's movements and computer generation.
However... what about when/if computer-rendered characters replace human actors? Personally, I find this quite disconcerting....
Thoughts?
