Motion capturing

After reading the article Motion Capture Filmmaking: Are Computer-generated actors the future of hollywood ive learned that andy serkis the actor who played gollum in The Lord Of The Rings has created his own seperate film studio named "The Imaginarium" where actors can learn how to do motion capturing. I've also learned that Steven speilberg used animatronics in both Jaws and Jerasik park with a mix of motion capturing. ive learned the the imaginarium is working with the actors from animal farm. i liked how they talked alittle about the imaginarium and i like the pictures added into the article. What is the next big motion captured character?

Paper Man

After reading the article "the inside story behind disneys Paperman" I've learned that the creator behind paper man was a worker on the hit disney movie tangled. The story he syas portrays his life when he wass in his twenties and working in new york city. To create this animation to give it a 2D and 3D affect they used a new program called meander which was used by a man named Brian Whited. I liked the fact that they had the actual animation in the article and i also liked how it gives a short description of the film in the article. What will Disney ddo with this new found power?
