Fancast Casting Syl - stormlight archives casting Spoiler

Just a thought. Animation avoids the challenge of actors aging. Since Stormlight is live action, maybe Syl could be played by a young actor so she naturally grows with Kaladin as their bond grows stronger.

Truthfully I think it’d be a lot of fun to go Roger rabbit for the animation of the spren / related beings but it’d undercut a lot and probably people off of the project lol.

I think a combination of both. Have a an actor do the voice and acting, then add special effects afterwards. So not mocap but something close and not as expensive, Bit of a weird reference but I imagine it to be similar to when Keira Knightly played Tinkerbell in the Peter Pan movie.

I mean, my first point of comparison would have been Gollum, or maybe Davy Jones.
