| Well - I don't really know.
I think that both actors and the movie itself - easily - will be better if there is more for them to interact with, sets, then if they are acting infront of a blue screen. But still I recongnize the value of computers for effects. Effects have always been in movies, back to the days of minature in monster movies etc, and computers are mearly a step futher.
Especially where danger is an element, or when the story takes places somewhere unbuildable.
It is afterall cheaper to hire say a few hundred extras and then dublicate them to create the illusion of massive amount of people, and safer to make stuff explode on computers etc.
I doubt we will see the replacement of (all) actors anytime soon - but I think the computer generated effects will overtake many of the mechanical ones, as the technology evolves. |
