sigh right, first things first, none of this is new. lets start with the more obvious stuff, what you see in film isn't real. No really. Just look atthe harry potter series; all those kids went through puberty, it was as equally unkind for them as it was for us. An entire generation of VFX people cut their teeth painting out the pimples on many a potter face. Then there is the making older people look young. You know those actors(male and female) that always seem to look around 30, despite pushing 55? that almost exclusively digital. I used to do night shifts with a bloke who's entire job was to remove crows feet (and a lot more) for a very successful British chick flick. then you have the other extreme, you know those shots where people have arms missing? or facial disfigurement? James bond: http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/0/01/Silva's_disfigurement.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130329141917 http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/jamesbond/images/0/01/Si... board walk empire: https://vimeo.com/18275127 https://vimeo.com/18275127 (1:44, however the rest is worth a look) Dark knight, Twoface: https://vimeo.com/3852161 https://vimeo.com/3852161 (0:59) (fun fact, the tube bit for the cronicals of nania, I sent back to be re-rendered because I though the renderer had fucked up(I was only looking at the matte, and flashing mattes are normally bad)) As for body doubles, thats been going on for decades. pretty much any shot that involves the back of some star, there is a 50% chance that its a body double, or a stand-in. Mainly because its cheaper. Look here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHRLX8jRjq8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tHRLX8jRjq8 You see Daniel Craig zoom around riding a motor cycle like a pro, except you don't. Its either a bike welded to a trailer (0:34), or a face replacement. The first Digital double is at 0:42 (there are lots more.) So you can see that actually it happens a lot, and frankly there is nothing wrong with it. In fact there is a whole achademic field devoted to it, (fun thing, google "digital doubles framestore") Its basically a case of some dickhead wanting to see tits, and feeling cheated because he can't command someone he's never met to do a full frontal scene for the price of a movie ticket (or less)
