I have directed good actors and have gone through the process which is more detailed in theater in a way. You have to get people to stay for two or three hours in a performance. They need more talk and rehearsal than in films. ↗

I'm not saying that more performance wouldn't be better - all these technologies are going to get better - that's the difference between first generation and second generation. ↗
