Jar Jar moves around too much.  He's always figiting.  He never stands • still.
I know the temptation is to make CGI characters move around a bit, because
heck, they're animated.  But it begins to look odd when he's standing with a
bunch of human actors and they're standing mostly still.


This is what has always irritated me about CGI.  Nothing stands still enough • to
really get a good look at it.  It may be that if they remain still, the
illusion of reality dissipates.  Jar Jar had the added irritation of being a
jumpy character.

That's one of the things I've always admired about Reboot (and other Mainframe
productions) - the characters look like real people, and will just stand if
that's all they're doing.  Admittedly, Reboot is a different type of CGI, but
they do it well.
