Character and Narrative: 3D animation/Motion capture

3D animation has its ups and downs in the world, 3D animation can brind a lot of help not just in films but in other companies too like architecture because it helps them visualise there buildings in a 3D environment. Its very popular in video games because in are modern society we are wanting every thing to look more life like so that inhances the experience of the game. This also helps video games feel more like a film because it has more detail in it. To get the realism effect video game developers use motion capture suites and facioal capture to get the realism in the games, so what they do is get real people to act out what the characters are doing in the story but have them wear little dots everywhere so that the cameras thay are scattered around the room they're in can capture every movement they make. A good example of this are in a games such as Call of Duty: Advance Warfare, The Last of Us and Unchanted.

In films 3D animation has come a long way because we can now create a full feature length film just using the computers but we can make it look so fantastically realistic we'll forget it's not real. Such films as 'Avitar' and 'Rise of The Planet of The Apes' use motion capture as well to create this effect. It's amazing how realistic things can look in a film which is obviously not real, this makes us the view believe in things that aren't real but helps the story no matter what.
