More like they'll create faces and bodies that are more attractive and sell more tickets than people they'd need to pay.
And they'll create algorithms to animate emotions more accurately and creatively so they won't need living actors on which to paste the simulations.
Or maybe each viewer can choose which face and body they see, at least on home viewing, and software can put on the likeness you want each time.
Why would they depend on people if they can simulate more attractive and expressive?
- tanilama 9y agoSo you are saying Anime.
- bsenftner 9y agoYou have no idea the level of digital makeup already employed in film. The big abusers of digital makeup? Men! Why? Men easily look haggard when not taking care of themselves, and many male actors (even the athletes) party hard and it shows on their faces. Speaking from experience, the VFX of making handsome male actors "look how they are supposed to look" is a huge job in Hollywood.
- hliyan 9y agoPerhaps that is as it should be. Perhaps it will help even out celebrities' contribution to the asymmetric distribution of power and influence we're experiencing in the world today.
- twostoned 9y agoThis is an interesting comment. I don't disagree with the statement that there is 'asymmetric distribution of power and influence... in the world today' but am interested to hear more about why you think celebrities contribute to this. My own world-view doesn't account for much celebrity contribution, apparently.
- hliyan 9y agoObviously my personal opinion, but since you asked: 1. Celebrities receive preferential treatment within the legal and bureaucratic system 2. Celebrities often have both public appeal and wealth -- two important ingredients for wielding political influence 3. Less importantly, celebrities absorb a high proportion of media attention compared to issues of importance
- edanm 9y agoI mean, the current President of the United States was clearly elected in part because of his celebrity status. Not saying anything for or against this, but if your worldview doesn't account for something this big and important, I suggest updating it.
