Within the next three years there will be a feature length movie made with this technique.

These guys just created a 6 minute anime of really high quality using a fully automated process, once it was set up most of the effort went into acting in front of a green screen.

Now that they've set this up, my question is why not create a feature length movie by next week?

I mean someone like Kevin Smith can write a whole movie script in an hour, probably has tons laying around. All he needs to do is contact them, offer to work together for free, get in some acting and voice talent, offer his script and directing skills, and it'll be finished in a week.

Sorry, but this was not a "fully automated process" by any means. Not even remotely close. Did you not see the bit where the dude manually placed all of the 250+ camera angles inside their scene? There was a tonne of human hours put into making this.

I think you are massively underestimating the effort that went into the creation of this thing.

Yeah, the main difference is this was done in 2 months by 3 people, instead of dozens or hundreds.

Because feature length movies take a lot of time to make.

But we already HAVE millions of movies. Why not say, take an old movie like the Predator or ALIENS and re-do them as animations?

That's called copyright infringement

no, I mean it if the studios that owned the movies did it themselves.

Oh ok. Still, i feel like if this becomes a "wave" it's going to be worse than the bunch of live action films Disney insists on "remaking" their old animations into

the main problem I see, you still need actors and stuntmen, which ends up being more/equal expensive as pure animation.

IMHO, the first move should be to take old action movies and re-do them as animations.

Like say, anime-up the original Predator, frame by frame, and put it in the cinemas again.

Why? It's about creating different stories. People don't just watch anime because it looks like anime.
