I don't think she or any actors using performance capture should be excluded from award considerations especially when Saldana gives a masterclass on how you can capture and evoke such a heartbreaking and beautiful performance in this film

    • @Quotenwagnerianer
      @Quotenwagnerianer Před rokem +5

      The problem at this point is that it is still not completely transparent to anyone trying to judge a digital performance, how much is captured by the cameras on set and how much tweaking an animator has to do after the fact. Even if the only thing the animator does is correcting what the digital model does by looking at the recorded face of the actor. But is this really all they do? Or do they change a muscle here and there and adjust a facial expression? The moment that happens you can't give the award to just the actor, because what you see on screen is a collaboration between what the actor played and what the animator did with it afterwards.
      I'd say since the Planet of the Apes trilogy we are here for about 85% to 90% of performance captured live without additional tweaks, but that is just a guess. No one knows for sure. And until that is not clear, you can't give an actor an award for a digital character.

    • @josephk6214
      @josephk6214 Před rokem +2

      @@Quotenwagnerianer True enough. Considering how collaborative filmmaking is in general, there's always some kind of tweak being made whether by editors or the director(s) to maximize the effect of a performance either in live action or another medium. Hopefully, we'll see some kind of marriage in that recognition between the fx artists and performers in the future. Either way, it's insane just how adept these technologies and the people behind them (and in front) are at extracting and conveying immersive performances

    Saw it in 4DX in 3D. It had the full 1.90 aspect ratio thank goodness. The HFR in underwater scenes worked almost 100%, but only 50% to 75% of the time above water.

    The thing about facial capture getting better is so noticeable, especially with Zoe Saldana's character
