June 11, 2011 : Cartoon Brew Stands Up For MoCap… Sorta
I recently read an interesting article from Cartoon Brew, which actually took a relatively pro-MoCap stance. It was in response to Space Jam’s Animation Producer, Steven Paul Leiva, who claimed Motion Capture isn’t animation. While the article shows a general dislike for the aesthetics of the technique, it still makes a solid argument that it should be considered animation… particularly when it comes Oscar time.
The article makes a lot of good points, and I think is worth a read. Most animator’s don’t like MoCap (they feel it’s a huge shortcut that demeans the industry), so that’s why it’s odd to see an animation site take it’s side. Still, it’s tough to argue with the article’s reasoning.
