where is noah ringer

[MotusDigital]

He is the ninja. His movement drives the ninja character. Watch it through the end and you can see how it works.

Wow...I at first thought the whole thing was CG, and that y'all used mocap for the camera movement, Ninja, and the objects he touches. Then I thought that only him and the things he interacted with were the only CG things, and that you had to do some serious motion tracking. Then I saw the credits! Wow, very realistic shading/modeling/texturing.

Have y'all tried working with Blender 3D at all using Mocap?

[MotusDigital]

Thanks for the kind words and feedback! We really appreciate it.

Once we capture the motion data, we primarily use MotionBuilder for all our characters/props.

I would just like to put it out there that I support the casting of Noah as Aang 110%. :p

I mean, the kid's adorable, and he's great with a staff.

I mean, race shouldn't matter. Until the whole race thing was brought up with the casting, I didn't see specific races in Avatar. I saw PEOPLE.

So, the general consensus is that Noah Ringer is pretty damn good and that LeggySpunk is a douche. amiritegais?

[QATPERSON]

If you go to the Motus web site the short video does not have Noah's name on it, it is someone else. I think this is just a case of photo shop

the cast is diversed, have you seen the water tribe, their a mixure of whites, native americans and mexicans. and not everyone in the fire nation is evil that has dark skin, your practically saying that Iroh is evil, and mai and ty lee (sure we dont know who will play them next but we can guess)

besides the director is indian, and the creators of avatar are 2 white guys, and if they cared about the race part they would have said it, cause their actually working with M.Night on this.

[GloomySunset]

Oh. I mixed and the opposite happened to me. i used to be pale and I looked more Spanish Puerto Rican than black but now most people think I look more black.

Dominant genetic traits don't always, well, dominate.

he's half asain you can really tell when he was a kid i've noticed what happened to him happened to me i was a really dark kid but got really light as i got older noah looked very asain as a kid but slowly that changed.

[GloomySunset]

How do you know Noah isn't Asian?

[dendec]

wow what a motion

[Hukeyohi]

I'd say you were right.
