Topic: CGI v. Stop Motion
I have been working diligently on creating a good Computer Generated Minifigure Rig. Earlier today I finally got it to an animate-able state. I proudly showed my sister and got a reaction that I was not expecting.
My sister said that she didn't like the Idea of creating Brickfilms completely on the computer because it seemed like I was being lazy not creating real Brickfilms.
while while she is probably partially right I had never though about this before. I figured I would ask some people who actually Brickfilm to get their opinion.
that being said I have listed some pros and Cons about using CGI
PROS:
Can go back and undo Mistakes
Don't need to Mask
Don't have to worry about light Flickers this is the biggest thing that attracted me to CGI
Can easily add light flares and other cool effects
IT is Easier to lip sync
you Have infinite Legos
CONS:
You have to model most everything yourself
you still have to animate and what is easy in the real world is sometimes tricky on the computer
you have to Render it out
that's all I have to say about that. I'm curious to see you guy's opinions on this subject.
Sorry I rambled on so long though
