Movie Question
So I was watching Avatar a couple nights ago for the second time (I like the movie, btw), and if you've seen it you probably agree that the computer animation is great. That got me to thinking about what the future might hold for movies and animation.
If technology got to the point where entire movies could be computer animated but look so real that you couldn't distinguish them from films recorded with actual people, do you think that these would more or less take over? Would actors become things of the past since they're no longer needed (especially at the salary they receive now), or are people too attached to their favorite stars?
Personally, I don't go see movies because of a certain actor, and computer animated actors would always act perfectly (so every movie would have great acting if that's an incentive to go see it). Plus a lot of movies already have computer animated lead role characters.
Maybe voice actors will be the next big thing... time for a degree change.
