Zemeckis Confirms That Performance Capture Factors Into The New ROGER RABBIT Film!! But, How??
|
Yesterday we learned that the writers of the original ROGER RABBIT film are returning to script a proposed sequel (details HERE).
That news came from a video snippet over at MTV, in which Robert Zemeckis briefly touched on the project. A longer sampling of the same interview has now been posted, in which Bob reveals that performance capture (a la BEOWULF, A CHRISTMAS CAROL, and the forthcoming YELOW SUBMARINE) would play some part in the new ROGER RABBIT film. The question is: considering the "universe" in which ROGER is set, how will the technology fit in, exactly?
I wouldn't use it for the cartoon characters, because I think they should stay two dimensional...I wouldn't dimensionalize Roger.
[EDIT]
All the other characters they would have fun with would be magnificent in performance capture technology. It would be really fun.
...says Zemeckis in THIS VIDEO INTERVIEW over at MTV:
So, what the hell does this mean? Will humans who get thrown into Toon Town now be realized via performance capture? Will the sequel be entirely performance capture - featuring Toon pests who MoCap characters discriminate against because they're not rendered as well, or rendered differently? Will any live action/"real world" components feature into this project at all? Or, as MTV speculates, might performance capture actually be part of the storyline? I.e. might we have performance capture characters interacting with live action characters...alongside Roger and his Toon squad...as the new/upstart Toons in town?
Really intrigued...
