Neon Crisis: TINTIN DID NOT GET NOMINATED FOR BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FOR THE OSCARS?!
BUT YET FUCKING KUNG FU PANDA 2 DID?!
WHAT THE FUCK ACADEMY?! WHAT THE FUCK?!
Idk if the Academy considers this, but Tintin is not an example of actual animation cinema, but more of live-action cinema using animation as a medium, like in Avatar. That’s…
To add to your comment, I agree that it’s motion capture, but in the end it should be nominated for Best Animated Feature because there are probably animation techniques that are applied.
Like example, they probably have to move an arm or something if it didn’t work like the way they visioned it. Also they probably had to animate Snowy (Milo). I don’t know since I don’t know the behind the scene stuff.
Also I was really frustrated that they didn’t nominate Tangled. They used lots of new techniques that were never done in the animation world before. Her hair? They had to create that technology in order to make her hair look like it did.
I just don’t pay attention to Academy Awards anymore really.
Motion capture doesn’t capture everything though. Only the motions of the actors. They still had to animate the backgrounds, buildings, hair, clothing movement, animals, everything that isn’t the movements of the people which they would have had to tweak anyway. It was animation enough to be considered.
