For Film And Games, There Is Now

Acting Is A Sort Of Pressure Cooker That Allows The Fizz To Come Out The Top. God Knows What I'd Be Like If I Didn't Have That.

Not A Day Goes By Where I'm Not Reminded Of Gollum By Some Person In The Street Who Asks Me To Do His Voice Or Wants To Talk To Me About Him. But Because 'the Hobbit' Has Been Talked About As A Project For Many Years, I Knew That At Some Point I'd Have To Reengage With Him.

Motion Capture Is Exactly What It Says: It's Physical Moves, Whereas Performance Capture Is The Entire Performance - Including Your Facial Performance. If You're Doing, Say, Martial Arts For A Video Game, That Is Motion Capture. This Is Basically Another Way Of Recording An Actor's Performance: Audio, Facial And Physical.

My Take Is That Acting Is Acting. A Performance Is A Performance. With Performance Capture, If You Don't Get The Performance On The Day, You Can't Enhance The Performance.

I Am A Bit Evangelical, I Know, But Performance-capture Is Still Misunderstood.
