I feel the people behind the scenes, behind a cinematic piece, are often forgotten about. But sometimes it is in the best of ways; Tom's performances over the years along with the team of puppeteers make that character real and people forget there's that kind of technical magic behind it. Anyone can put on a costume but it takes true devotion to make that costume a character you can latch onto.

I feel bad for cgi animators too tho, because they are so underpaid and overworked. All the people in the effects industry are. People that do the best part of movies get the brunt of it, while the directors and actors take all the fame and glory

Even for CGI you need a creature actor if you want it to look realistic

I have always wanted to be a creature/costume performer. I hope I get a chance to do it one day. Ive studied animals ever since I had seen one, and Ive always copied them, and when I get alone, I sometimes get in a mirror with my dino mask or something and I try to do different things. I also like to watch people control animatronics and I hope I get to do that one day too.
