Harry Shearer

I'm honestly shocked he's managed to hold onto this gig for as long as he has. ELC and Mod productions are continuing its collaboration with Shearer to refine how character design and storytelling can be combined in virtual production for the second film clip in production now. Its more on the writing that makes a character a no go.It’s about time this shit started hitting the VA world. Why cant PoC voice every type of character like white actors? Why is it that The Simpsons cast have almost universally all had shitty takes on this subject, is it because they're all old? It's pure lip service for, say, Mike Henry to step down as Cleveland because he's not black if 100% of Cleveland's lines are going to be written by white people, since the portrayal of the character is what is at stake. “People from all backgrounds should be represented in the writing and producing ends of the business so they help decide what stories to tell and with what knowledge. Harry Shearer voices multiple characters on "The Simpsons" -- including a Black doctor -- and has some thoughts about White actors voicing non-White characters on the long-running animated series. It's a way to maintain white spaces while pretending to be progressive. And I'll say, don't think he's ever been that funny.

If you can’t deal with positive change, fuck off into retirement. I mean, what’s really the big deal. As much as I believe that anyone should be able to write anyone. This new project is both much more advanced and done as a remote collaboration from both sides of the Pacific Ocean.The motion-capture was recorded by DOP Matthew Mindlin in LA and with the MoCap team in Sydney Australia.

And I'll say, don't think he's ever been that funny. JavaScript is disabled. Some people have a hard time understanding that the post-racial world they live in doesn't exist outside their own heads.I’m not gonna lose sleep over an old person not agreeing with what’s happening now.Harry Shearer has always been notoriously disagreeable and difficult to work with. Now, Azaria’s co-star, Harry Shearer, is speaking his mind about the show’s new direction. How about white actors stop giving excuses about minstrel acts?I remember he hated Homer at Bat so he can't be trustedWhy is it that The Simpsons cast have almost universally all had shitty takes on this subject, is it because they're all old?

He was twice a regular cast member on For Electric Lens Company (ELC)’s Matt Hermans this was his first project with Shearer and when he first signed on, he had no idea how world events would so completely affect the project.ELC invited Mod Productions onboard to help run the virtual production side of The “shoot” comprised Ledwidge and Hermans at Mod’s Haymarket studio in downtown Sydney with Harry Shearer and Matt Mindlin working out of Harry’s home in LA.Ledwidge worked closely with Hermans before and together they worked out how to test the feasibility of Matt’s idea to drive a deep fake from the digital Trump character instead of from a live-action clip. The recent push for the literal voice to be a POC just seems like icing on the cake done to save face by a lot of shows.About the recent casting changes, would it be wrong to suppose that they're an indirect consequence of how Robin Williams in Aladdin changed the importance of voice casting? Any voice can play any character. I don't think you need to be a black voice actor for the former, but the latter is just out of bounds. And yet when you come to put the pieces together to make it a thing, – then it’s serious work”.After the shoot, Ledwidge synched the rushes and set up an edit pipeline for the sequences in the Oval Office. Or had actions about casting been called for before that point?Maybe if shows like The Simpsons had more voice actors of color all these years playing various roles of significance, there wouldn't be such a need to have minority members voicing minority characters. I'd say this is for PoC to decide, not white people. His first comment that "acting is about being what you aren't!" His team was aided by the team at MOD Studios in Sydney, led by Michela Ledwidge, who was the Virtual Production Director and Editor.The project is a strong political satire, which visually relied on two technical stages, a CG President Trump who was rendered offline, based on the MoCap shoot using virtual production techniques, and an overlay on this footage of a ‘deep fake’ of the President’s face trained on publicly available footage.We spoke to Harry Shearer in LA about this latest project and his remarkable career that started with his first film appearance in the film Shearer has won a Primetime Emmy Award and has received several other Emmy and Grammy Award nominations. Let the voice actor reflect the race of the character. The only thing I expect to change about Cleveland writing wise is that he'll show up less like the rest of his family. The outcry wasn't so much about black men and women having to be voicing black men and women, it was that they weren't voicing anyone. Why cant PoC voice every type of character like white actors? I love Spinal Tap and all the Christopher Guest stuff, but Shearer just seems like one of those typical hollywood assholes who basically everyone hates. is a typical deflection, but he's right on the second part. Why did the conclusion to this corporate controversy become that only PoC could only voice PoC characters. As much as I loved the simpsons, it’s a problem that was addressed.
