hey all!

I’m writing a report on computeranimation, more specifically 3D animation.

I have a few questions, if some of you would be kind enough to answer, and not just with “yes/no”, but elaborate just a bit, but don’t write a novel, ok? 😉

Maybe this will also spark a discussion on the subjects, who knows, ordered just seemed right for that 🙂

here we go:

1. Will 3D animation replace real live actors?

2. Does the enormous focus on special effects mean that the plot and story of a movie fades into the background?

3. What do all these special FX mean to you as a viewer? How does it affect you?

how this sparks a discussion and maybe some answers I can include in my report 🙂

thanks all!
