Answer to Grace's Remediation Question

1.) In the second reading the author writes, "The desire for immediacy is apparent in the increasing popularity of the digital composting of film and in Hollywood's interest in replacing stunt men and eventually even actors with computer animations." Do you think that computer animations will slowly deteriorate jobs in the film-making industry?

I feel that there will always be a demand for actors because there will always be a group of people that would rather watch the real thing than something animated. As new film industries such as Pixar are creating more animated movies, and creating less work for actors there are still more movies that involve real life people. Even with the action pack movies that have the special effects, the different audiences still have a demand for the different genres of movies. So in a way, yes, computer animations will slowly deteriorate the jobs in the film industry but not as fast as it has with factory based jobs or how the internet has taken over the newspaper industry.
People have different level of interests and also have different experiences when they watch a movie. The film industry keeps coming up with different ways of entertaining people and movies have come a long way from being black and white without any sound. As our economy tends to worsen, the last thing we need is to put more people out of jobs but that’s just my opinion.

  1. cool. even recent CG movies like Beowulf used actors to help create the scenes... so there's that to think about too.
