Very well put. This is my feeling too. Take Kurosawa. He uses movement so perfectly - it is not necessarily realistic in that it is heavily staged but it is 100% believable as natural. If directors paid as much attention to movement then a large part of this problem could be moot. With so many people involved in the CG production it is hard to fault the artists (they can make improvements but cannot save a badly directed movie), it really does fall on the director to make sure (s)he is getting the right performance, whether its real or CG, and that requires flawless planning, coordination and a vision of what the end result should be. It can't really be delegated. maurice

So much emphasis is put on the 'look' that it fails to consider the more important element - motion.
