HOT-COCOA SHOW! While Jon Favreau's "The Jungle Book" is wowing
audiences it's also kicked up a conversation about the role of
Motion Capture in movies and if it should be considered Live-Action
or Animation. We've talked about mo-cap on the podcast but this
time I decided to do my research on the path that the technology
has taken over the years and how it relates to the distinction in
what the final product is called and broke it all down the way only
we do on the RubberOnion Animation Podcast! I'd love to hear your
thoughts (preferably after you listen to
the show haha) in the comments section below. Enjoy the show!
