Lucasfilm to combine Movies and Gaming

The creative technicians over at Lucasfilm are working on film making using video game engines and real-time motion capture together to virtually eliminate post-production editing. The blending of two high tech processes will begin to blur the line between real life, gaming and movie production.

this is impressive, but having a library of pre defined movements is very restrictive. i would like to see real time, on the fly movement generation based on some form of 'movement AI'

either way, interesting, this development is.

I guess I wanted to see the words LucasArts and then reality hit.

This isn't about video games, it's about having a near-perfect previs system using video game engine technology and methodology.

I can't wait to see movies like this. Finally, we can get rid of most overpaid actors and give the creative artists the real money.

That being said, I would really like a "leak" of the 1313 game as it stands; those graphics and animations look incredible.
