In my opinion, the COOLEST CG character in any movie has to be Davy Jones from Pirates of the Caribbean Dead Man's Chest . He is so cool. What's not cool about having tentacles for a beard, a crab claw for one hand and a peg-leg? I also love the technology they used to capture him. During production, they managed to perfect live motion capture, so rather than shooting two plates, one with all the actors and one sans the CG actor, they could do it all in one plate, motion capturing the live performance instead of capturing a separate performance in a studio.
I'm fascinated by motion capture and have always wanted motion capture equipment to play around with. It seems so fun! And the combination of Bill Nighy's acting and the CG used to create the final version, Davy Jones is so amazing!
