Digital Actors

Is this acting or animation?
I think that Avatar is a combination of both acting and animation; however, I also believe that there is more acting than animation in the movie.  Avatar contains more acting than animation because, as the article points out, the actors in the film acted out the scenes while wearing skin-tight suits. The actors still performed in each of the scenes, and digital editing was used to turn the actors into the 10-foot characters that we see on screen. Also, Avatar still contained scenes in which some of the actors performed scenes in which they were in their true human form. Since the actors still performed each scene and that they movie itself still contained scenes in which the actors acted as humans, I believe that Avatar is acting.

Do you think that animated characters should be eligible for acting awards?
I believe that animated characters should be eligible for acting awards because the people who voice them work hard to make them memorable in the movie.  Also, the facial features and gestures that actors make while they are recording the animated characters' voices are filmed by the directors and are sometimes used in the film.  I think that the animated characters deserve as much recognition as human characters because they also leave as much impact, or sometimes even more, as in the case of classic Disney movies, as human characters.  Without the hard work of the actors who voice these amazing animated characters, I don't think that we would have all of the animated films that we have today.
Do you think that human characters will ever become obsolete? Why or why not?
I don't think that human characters will ever become obsolete because there are many amazing films out there that feature human characters.  I believe that if human characters become obsolete, we would focus more on the animations that occur in the movie rather than the message that the movie is trying to show us.
