Live action
Cinematography, videography not produced using animation / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Live action is a form of cinematography or videography that uses photography instead of animation. Some works combine live action with animation to create a live-action animated feature film. Live action is used to define film, video games or similar visual media.[1] Photorealistic animation, particularly modern computer animation, is sometimes erroneously described as "live action", as in the case of some media reports about Disney's remake of the traditionally animated The Lion King from 1994.[2][3] According to the Cambridge English Dictionary, live action involves "real people or animals, not models, or images that are drawn, or produced by computer".[4]
