The Hulk primarily interacted with CG characters. You cannot compare that to the turtles fighting, hand-to-hand, with live-action Foot soldiers. Size ABSOLUTELY matters when you're choreographing a fight between a mocap actor who is a foot taller than his on-screen character will be, and a live-action actor whose height will not change. You can shrink the mocap recordings, but the movements won't be the same. A 6'2" turtle actor cannot punch a 6' Foot Soldier in the face with the same physical motion as a 5' 3" turtle can punch a 6' Foot Soldier in the face. And imagine grapples. There would be no point in motion capturing if you had to alter EVERY SINGLE motion to adjust for the character's height..

These turtles are going to be over six feet tall.

The End.

well, its not The End because you dont have prestidigitation or precognicence. plus, not once in that post did i say ritchson wouldn't be doing mo-cap. in fact i said HE WOULD. i also said that actors don't always do all their own STUNTS or ALL OF THE FIGHT SCENES. Mo-cap or not. im pretty sure it was only liam neeson in certain close-ups in the fight scenes of taken. same with matt damn in the bourne movies, etc, etc...

stop whining and freaking out and re-read the post. when the stunt team shoots a clean pass of a fight scene, without the turtle actor (ritchson OR stunt-turtle) in it, they will compensate for the difference in size. thats how these types of special effects are accomplished.

but, please, keep posting with certainty about things you know nothing about. its entertaining, really.
