film makers are using such technology? The answer
to these questions is to connect some reality
into the characters. Remember Oscar winning

Performance capture poses two distinct problems
capturing body movements, known as motion
capture, and capturing facial expressions. The
first problem is easier to solve. A simple form
of motion capture is to film somebody performing
a particular motion, and then trace over
individual frames. This produces more life-like
motion than having an animator draw each frame
from scratch. Movies where characters are not
real like, Ice Age, they are fine without this
technique. But in the movies where animation
portrays real characters, this technique can add
up minor details in the character. This technique
is gaining popularity.
