Interesthing quote about the motion capture that will be used on the movie:
"Don Burgess, director of photography for the upcoming fantasy film The Polar Express, told SCI FI Wire that the animated film's performances will be based on real actors, not created by animators. The film is an adaptation of Chris Van Allsburg's holiday-themed children's book.
"The entire movie is being shot in motion-capture," Burgess said in an interview. "So [while] the surfaces are ultimately going to be rendered to look like The Polar Express [book], ... the performances are all captured [from] the actors. It's pretty amazing, because you truly get the performance this way."
