Torgo 08/12/23 11:27:22 AM #6:	Kai_Laguna posted... Making child characters actually look and move like children and not just scaled down adults. Some have figured this out, but the problem here is you need child actors to mo-cap... and that can be more expensive with all the requirements for employing children as actors, and more difficult to direct children while in an expensive suit for long periods of time. Or they have to hire professional actors with special skillsets. This extends to animals as well. You can probably get a dog to behave on command how you want while in an expensive wired up apparatus...but have you tried getting a cat to move how you want it to? --- If what you believe is truthful and just, you shouldn't have to posture as someone or something else. <cite>Torgo posted [p:975408735] in Things vid...

FortuneCookie 08/12/23 12:10:08 PM #24:	Kai_Laguna posted... Making child characters actually look and move like children and not just scaled down adults. I feel like I would do this one intentionally. If I got a child's movements correct, people might say that I spent too much time studying the movements of children. If I rotoscoped a child, people might say it was unfair to a child to have them covered up in lightbulbs and motion sensors. If movement accuracy were important, I'd probably hire a little person and rotoscope them. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:975409368] in Things vid...
