The end of wild animals in film?

I’ll provide the link to the video at the end of the details.

My question is basically: Do you think the television and film industry will warm up to the idea of predominantly using computerized animals instead of real ones (if the animals look very real)? Or do you think it will be too expensive? I am unsure of the expenses of this technology versus using real wild animals. I would think dealing with a tech crew instead of an unpredictable live animal (who needs room and board) would be easier.

I think it’s amazing what they can do with technology now. This ape looks incredibly real. It looks so real that I really felt it was real. What do you think?

*** The video shows a CGI (computer generated imagery) ape. Please take NO note of the Peta affiliation – that is not my intent. The video is not graphic. No animal is being beaten or abused (nor the CGI ape). There is a gun in the video but nothing horrible happens. And the ape you see is not real. It is a 35 second long video, showing the amazing likeness to a real ape. I suggest you also watch the second video, underneath, explaining how they made this ape (it’s about 3 and half minutes long).***
