[edit] Plot Summary is TOO LONG

Holy crap, this is like the entire movie script condensed into one superlong paragraph. Edit it!

You're right, it's absolutely abysmal and reeks of pedantry. Come on guys, this is basic cyberpunk fare; the plot probably took less time to think up than it did to write that 'synopsis'. It could quite easily be cut down to two or three paragraphs. Gunstar hero 18:53, 11 September 2007 (UTC)

It was probably too long but removing the summary wholesale and just leaving the synopsis is a little excessive. Nonieth (talk) 18:34, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Either you've seen the movie and already know the plot, you're interested in seeing the movie and don't want the plot spoiled, or you don't care about the movie. Long plot summaries are disruptive to the article and irritating. Some guy (talk) 06:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rotoscoping

Are you sure this film isn't rotoscoped, like A Scanner Darkly?

I just looked at rotoscoped and, yes this indeed appears to be rotoscoped.

I've read the press materials for this film. It was not rotoscoped, which is a technique where actors are filmed and then the animation is drawn over them. Renaissance used motion-capture to feed actors' movements directly into computers.

Do you even know what rotoscoping is? Of course it isn't rotoscoped. If you watch the trailer, the human figures are obviously 3d models.63.100.44.98 17:18, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Too outline the diffrence Rotoscoping as in a scanner darkly is like photoshopping each inividual frame of a movie, and was used to take away alot of the realism of the original footage. Whilst motion capture which renaissance used is where dots are placed on actors and the movements are filmed, none of the original actors features remain , apart from the way they move, these dots are then associated with keypoints of computer generated characters. One works using vecors the other works on bitmap style image data.

[edit] DVD

Worth a mention of the DVD release? It was out here in the UK in November 2006 (ASIN B000HWXQSO). (Emperor 15:46, 7 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Original language?

What is the original language of the film (as this is not mentioned in the article)? It seems to be a French-made film, but the dialogue appears to be synched to the English acting (which is awful). The French acting (as far as I can tell) is far better than the English acting, so it seems like the original language would probably have been French, except for the synching... does anyone know anything about this? All I can think of is maybe they re-rendered the film for the English version with the lip synching changed to match the English dialogue. Some guy 08:25, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Renaissance poster.jpg

Image:Renaissance poster.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
