… you say whats the point? Yet tits makes the point hes also criticising.
The point is that when we watch something 2D and a ball with no nose and one leg, we suspend disbelief and concentrate on the narrative/humour/whatever.
Our difficulties in ‘accepting’ more realistic animation is that we instead note, either subconsciously or otherwise, that something isnt right. If that ’something’ can be broached – and while this work aint perfect its clearly making progress – then we’ll break that barrier and again be involved in the narrative/humour/whatever thats depicted.
To say you dont see the point could be said about anything, and is indeed as pointless as the thing you criticise.

very well done, but it still looks toonish, detail is great, but for me its obvious it’s CG

Yeah, they could have filmed you but when a spike went through your head, you would die. Mr. 3d man would just laugh and ask for another!

What a bunch of jealous, negative “art-punks”.

Amazing work indeed!

I think they could’ve saved a lot of time by filming me.
I do see the value in getting to this level of realism though. Just not much.

I found myself mimicking his motions subconsciously with my own face… something I never did viewing any other CG clip.

I’m gonna have to get in my time machine and tell Michelangelo to forget about it. Just paint some hot sexy dude white and make him stand there on that there pedestal. We’ll call him David.

Scares me. That new Orson Welles moment is coming closer all the time. Someone will fake a crime or tragedy (using animation) and we all will not know the truth.
