Good day Ed
First of all, I'm a great admirer of your work and has subscribed your book "Acting for Animators" for 5 years to my students. The reason why I'm contacting you is because I'm doing my PhD in Motion Picture Production and will appreciate your input as far as the importance of acting is concerned when using virtual CG cloned actors. In the study I will attempt to validate experimentally with empirical data, using quantitative research, the practice and techniques of visual effects designers when duping audiences using Computer Generated (CG) characters in films with real world elements and the visible influence of the uncanny valley on the acting of animated 3D characters.
I'm only in the beginning stages of the study and would first of all want to know if I may contact you for input and feedback.
Kind regards,
Willie Bouwer
