Jamie Bowen - Acting with Animation

Here's a Clip from the Making of Disney Pixar's 'UP',

I really thought this bought a different side to the question. Megan has looked at Rango, which uses what they call 'emotion capture' which makes actors act out a scene to give the animators almost a perfect view of what the scenes acting will go like.

 

In this clip, they show the process of capturing a very natural capture of emotion. As the director of 'UP' Pete Doctor said, they wanted to capture the innocence of the child actor (Jordan Nagai), that trained actors almost lack. I think this makes the character Russell one of the most natural and funniest characters to come out of Disney Pixar.

Again it is just another way to bring a stronger sense of human acting to the computer animated world.

I think this whole acting and computer animation is a good direction to go with, as Tony says animation is basically acting (no offense VFX) =)
