Do you think 3d animated actors will eventually phase out real life and blood actors(on film/tv)?

Alot of people say no never, but look online we are at the start of where some really talented modelers and animators could really create something so real that it would trick us. Plus their would be no more ridiculous pay for actors and the people that usually work 12 hour days such as animators, effects, etc. would get paid more.
Just wanted to see what you all thought?

I wouldn’t count on it, simply because it’s such an EXPENSIVE proposition to create a CGI person when you can just film a live actor.
Of course, CGI does broaden the director’s palette a bit in being able to do things that would otherwise be impossible — a digital version of an actor who died, the de-aging of actors like they did for Patrick Stewart and Iam McKellan in “X-Men 3″, creating a digital child actor who moved and emoted like an adult Tom Hanks in “The Polar Express” — but I think 100% digital actors will never be more than a novelty.

No, I can’t see it. I’m not one of those people who go crazy over celebrities, but there are a lot of them out there. They have to follow their favorite actors careers, buy people magazine, watch the Entertainment channel, etc… I just can’t see movies getting rid of real people. Though, if they did, we might see a resurgence of live theater throughout the nation. (-:

Not in our lifetimes. There may come a time when the computer technology is so advanced that one can plug in a plot, do some basic programming, pull out cumputer characters and put a movie together with little effort, but I think that time is way off. Right now, audiences have high standards, and the computer technology just hasn’t gotten to the level that it’s 100% convincing, and inexpensive enough to make full digital movies really plausible.
Someday, when the computer technology is far more advance, we have better AI software, voice emulation and inexpensive hyper realistic animation suites, then it may become more likely. Right now, the cost for a digital actor versus real actor just doesn’t make the scenareo that likely. That and the fact that a lot of audiences go to see stars. Digital actors aren’t stars.
