"Hi. I'm Robert Zemeckis and I love Mo-Cap so much that I married it. Now all my children are digital puppets, but they're more human than human. So there."
Apparently Robert Zemeckis feels that the Motion Picture Academy should create a separate award recognizing Mo-Cap Movies. Here’s an article with more info. Thanks Mark.
Zemeckis, Lucas, and Spielberg really make me feel like there’s some sort of shelf-life for certain creatives. I know this isn’t true because I really enjoy Clint Eastwood’s movies but then again he hasn’t been directing that long.
So this begs the question; Does a combination of power, consecutive bouts of success, and large amounts of money birth an uncreative monster who’s become out of touch with what’s good entertainment/storytelling?
This hasn’t happened at Pixar but it seems like they have a system set in place of creative checks and balances that stop any one director from thinking his ideas are the best and always will be.
One thing is for sure; somebody has too many yes-men.
You’ve got to be kidding me. Animation shouldn’t even be a category, nevermind motion capture! They’re not genres, they’re mediums, you braindead morons! Zemeckis is a tool.
