Adobe have come up with an interesting concept. They have software that has face scanning... stuff that will allow your to animate a puppet with your face. You "attach the piece to a facial feature, make faces, and BAM!
While this sounds cool I can't really hop on board. You may be able to animate several things at once, but you would have to hold your head still and be precise with your expression. Frankly that's more tedious than puppeteering by hand. Cool idea, but my head and face are too fidgety for it, not to mention amputees that don't have the required appendages.
Im with you on this pat. but i can also see its potential for bridging the gap between the pros and the noobs.
ReplyDeleteI didn't even think of the amputee bit... but I'm pretty sure you control the limbs with your mouse.
ReplyDeleteI think the faces were super fidgety as well.
