I do hope several people have questioned the artistic merits of Moc-cap and VP; both seem to provide nothing more than banal would- be replicates of over-simplified real and fantastic worlds.
Thanks for watching our video and engaging with the topic. As artists with over 25 years of experience across various mediums, we’re always excited to see how technology can expand creative possibilities. But there is a fine line when it comes to how new technologies can benefit our work. We certainly think there is an argument to say that using technology to replace worlds or people that already exist can be more of a distraction than a benefit. However, we believe technology allows us to create things beyond what is physically possible. We need to think less about re-creating realities, and more about creating the impossible. The other benefits may be less creative, but just as important. Environmental, economics, accessibility. Working within tech and budget constraints is a familiar challenge for most artists, and our behind-the-scenes videos aim to demystify that process. We don't think VP and Mo-cap solve all of our problems, but they do offer new creative tools, and that is a fun challenge. As with all things, getting the best out of something is not about taking sides, it is exploring the grey areas in the middle. So, we'll meet you halfway!
