Yeah mate, theres a fair bit in Cinefex.

I think theres a bit of the 'rose tinted glasses' effect when it comes to vfx. I must admit to having worn them in the past but now Im behind the iron curtain of the industry, you wouldnt believe what has to be done to get stuff to work. Its not all 'rig that and let the animators do the rest'. Sometimes stuff has to specifically tweaked per shot, just to make it work for 'that shot'.

Motion capture of any sort is a big under taking. I was talking with a friend of mine who works as an Animation supervisor at Lionhead games over here. He deals with mocap alot for cut scenes etc. He was saying that after seeing Avatar it made the mocap he does just look total crap and insignificant. He said that even the simplest of stuff they did was just much better than any before it.
