MOCRAP

I've been voicing my opinions about mocap [motion capture] in a couple of places. I wont go into too much detail of my opinion of mocap and rotoscoping. To summarise;

1) In both cases the results are usually poorer than good animation.
2) Motion capture and rotoscoping are not animation and shouldn't be referred to as.
3) They have their places, but shouldn't be used as a replacement for animation [you reading this Spielberg?]

So yeah, I'm not going to burn down motion capture studios or anything like that. I might elaborate more on why I see mocap and rotoscope as inferior in quality, and what uses they do have, in a later post. But not this one. Less typing today.

And you're right - those glasses are pretty crappy. I had to give her big specs. It's the law. Female scientist are usually depicted with big glasses. One reason could be to show first and foremost that they are nerds, despite what they may look like behind the frames. Secondly they have to be big and ungainly to depict the scientist lack of interest in anything beyond science, including fashion. And finally, big spectacles come in handy as makeshift goggles for those less dangerous [i.e. explosive] experiments. These are all my hypotheticals.
