There are tons of photos in that thread. You know what this forum really doesn't need? Another one of those threads.

The Avatar day footage had some very high quality facial animation as well, so I expect that at least parts of the movie are going to be as good as Davy Jones. I also don't believe the e-mocap hype, particularly after seeing that youtube footage with images of what those face cams have seen. I really can't accept that a single, tiny, wide angle camera can get enough tracking data to drive a face complete with wrinkles and stuff -...

She was talking and I felt the shot authentic-I even turned to someone and said: doesnt...
