The Art of Pixel Performers

scriptedfun writes "The BBC features the growing role of computer graphics in movies, but points out that it is still the human actors behind the CG characters which make them alive. From the article: 'It seems that the performance artist can still bring something to a performance, which [ a CG ] artist cannot.'"

This BBC writer can't even speak English!

The lame content of the article is not helped by its bad grammar. TFA says: Certainly mother nature has always been difficult to recreate. Fire and water are so infinitesimally complicated to model that animators can only create rough approximations on screen.

Last time I checked, "infinitesimal" meant "extremely small, negligeable", which is the exact opposite of the notion the writer has in mind (that is, that water is hard to animate).

And it went right through the BBC editors, who are apparenlty easily dazzled by latinate words,

Poor Beeb.

I suggest that the author of the article, Spencer Kelly, should be replaced by a random tech news generator.
