The animation/CGI technology will break the liberal stranglehold in Hollywood. The cost and personal issues with actors/actresses, sets and etc, plus the studios tendency to be PC or refuses to do new materials due to the risk of failure versus the cost of producing a normal movie has prevented a variety of films from reaching production. Furthermore, there are individuals who have good creativity and acting skills, but are unable to be filmed due to their looks. CGI animation will allow that individual to control an animated image, manipulate its expressions, body movement and language in their own mannerism. Basicly they overcome the look barrier that has prevented talented people from acting because the studio do not think their looks are marketable, or they are the wrong ethnic/race to assume the character. Individual or small groups of writers, producers and animators can produce a full length film and bypass the studio system for approval. Low production costs, creative flexibility, and internet marketing/distribution can change the paradigms for making movies in this country and world. After viewing "Animatrix" I say give CGI another five years to reach the high degree of realism. I predict that conservative film makers will be the first to capitalize on this technology, because the liberal establishment and actors will attempt to demonize it and protect the status quo.

Personally, I bet that the porn industry will be the first to exploit this capability, just like they have been the leaders in so many other applications in the internet area.

Or foreign filmmakers who can't break into Hollywood in the conventional manner.
