Views on the Avatar trailer http://sugarandsplice.com/archives/1772

Avatar Trailer: hmm, if Cameron breaks the uncanny valley, will the next boundary be that of plausibility? Avatar may look 'real', but will we buy human speech and emotions coming out of faces that are not 'human'?  As Pixar proves time and time again, once you get past the "Gee Whiz" factor of new technology, you return to "Can you tell me a story?".  Pixar and general animated features couch anthropomorphic actors in fully imaginary worlds.  We accept the rules of that world because it all fits.  But if you cross-breed it with filmed reality, the rules of this world apply.  And it's hard for us to accept as truth a character's bad expressions, when compared to a living, breathing actor (For reference, watch almost all mixings of puppetry and animation with live actors in the 1980's).

It's a neat step:  True 'photorealism' in CGI films.  But once that hill is climbed, there's still miles to go…

@ebshanks you ever tried smashing a les paul? that's 40lbs of mahogany to crack! undoable! a mosrite is easier.

@ebshanks pretty much. and i don't have time to believe in 'jinxing' anymore. The end is near, even if I have to force it with a crowbar.

@orourkesean so unfort we're complaining about a contract that we signed and has been in effect for all manuf. for years. idon'tLIKEitbut…

@orourkesean you could probably argue that, as I do think you have a point. however, they have precedent behind them (samedeal w nokia etc)

@orourkesean nah. i don't like them, but the upgrade $ reflects breaking your contract/subsidy. we just gotta wait till contract runs out

@ebshanks he's awesome!!!!! Clem!!!!

@carldegrazio shouldn't u be editing?

@digital_boy oh hey Randy

@carldegrazio RT that

"There is only so much creative a single person can acheive at once.  A manager, delegating tasks across multiple departments or persons, can achieve progress on multiple fronts.  While the sole practioner cannot so easily multi-task, but must devote most of their attention and resource into the creative at hand.  Thus, other projects languish until it is their turn in the (small eclipse of a) sun."

@carldegrazio you know, the people who complain that I'm always tweeting….always find the time to read my tweets…all of them….;)

From 20min to 6. There's blood on the sync block.

@digital_boy yep. Wevekept it on the D\l.

@vinceruth I dunno, bub… Do you?

No baby yet. One Braxton hicks yesterday, but that's it.

@ebshanks I _liked_ the aerials, the colorshots, the opening..jfoxx was actually not my fav

Leaving the labyrinth

and the LATimes/DailyNews thinks "The Soloist" is shite. Opinion is subjective – the very things they dislike about it, I like very much.
