Three Traits of an Actor/Actress
There are many traits of an actor or actress but I would narrow it down to the three main traits one should have as a performer. First off let me start out by saying that actor in the Greek language is one who interprets but in this sense it is one who interprets a dramatic character. The actor acts in dramatic performances and productions. They are involved in screen and off Broadway plays, theatre, film, television, and even radio. Acting is said to derive around 534 BC.
The first known person to get on stage and recite words intended to be someone other than themselves is Thespis. He performed at the theatre Dionysus. Thespis told his narratives in song, third person narrative, and dance. You may have heard of actors being called Thespians and this is mainly because of Thespis.
Unlike in present time were we placed our actors on high pedestals back in the early middle ages actors were not known as a high status. People tended not to put much trust into the traveling actor. But now people have come to almost worship and even being obsessed over actors.
One of the traits an actor must have is technique and discipline. You must learn the ways of the art. You should be well acquainted with different acting styles. There is method acting, presentational and representational acting, and acting as an opposite gender.
You should learn the history to get to know the essence of the art. The second trait you should have is creativity and freedom to express yourself. You must be willing to make a fool of yourself for the art. You have to be able to learn how to let go and be as free as a child while still maintaining that constant control of your craft.
The third technique to possess is the passion and the energy that brings. When you love something and love to do it that in turn comes across in your performance. The feeling that an actor brings to the table is that of real raw sincere emotion and the if you can find your passion for the piece and character you are portraying then you would make a phenomenal performance as an actor.
Learn how to find that inner energy that you need to bring from the inside to the surface of the character. As an actor you should always try to find common ground between you and the character so that your presence is felt as one and not as you playing the part but being the part.

Katara - Character of Avatar the Last Airbender
Katara is a girl character from anime-cartoon TV Show - Avatar The Last Airbender. She was fourteen year-old girl, which had supernatural powers, and could manage the water. She was called Waterbender and was the only one in her tribe who could manage the water.
The Fire Nation warriors very often were attacking their villages. They were also attacking all the other villages and tribes as well as Earthbenders. They were attacking everything on their way. And once, when the Fire Nation raiders came, Katara's mother for rescuing her daughter, rescuing as a single left Waterbender on this tribe, in this Waterbender region, in exchange for daughter salvation, she gave herself, her life.
Katara didn't live alone. She had a brother Sokka, who had no special powers, but he was a warrior. It should be mentioned that he was a very funny person with a lot of sarcasm, but very dedicated and as a brother and as a friend. Only they were left from their family. Once, when they were fishing, they have found an iceberg, and they saw a boy inside. She with her powers dissolved an iceberg and thus released him. It revealed that there was an Avatar - Aang and his bison - Appa. They were very glad to see him, because there were no any news about Avatar for 100 years. So they all became very good friends. Katara and her brother Sokka joined the Avatar's task to save the world from the Fire Nation, and she traveled with him around the world and as far as possible helping Aang to meet his mission.
As Waterbender she was very young, so when she was traveling with Aang, she also wanted to expand her knowledge, her abilities, how to manage the water better. Therefore, when there were opportunities to learn more, she studied it with enthusiasm. Once fall into her hands the manuscript about water management. And she studied it with Aang. She wanted to expand her abilities of water managing but Aang had to learn it from the beginning.
Young Waterbender from time to time was remembering her grandmother. She remembered how her grandmother gave her a necklace, pendant around the neck, which was very precious for her. Later, this necklace helped her very much. She had a meeting with the best Waterbender Master, who was never teaching girls. He was bent that girls can only treat with their powers. By the way, Katara could do it as well, she also could heal with her powers. Once when Aang was learning to master a Fire, he accidentally burned Katara's hands. And she healed them immediately with her powers.
So the old Waterbender Master told her that her place is among the other women who treated wounded. But she disagreed. There was a dispute and this persistent Master, she called to a duel to show him what she can. Of course, because she was Waterbender beginner and less experienced, she lost that duel. When she was fighting, she lost her necklace, which her grandmother gave her. When the fighting ended, the old master noticed it on the ground and lift it. He remembered that this is the same necklace, which he gave to his fiancee - Katara's grandmother. Thus, it appeared that this good but stubborn master was a fiance of her grandmother. Then the old master's heart melted off, and he decided to allow her to learn a Waterbending.

The Many Benefits of 3D Character and People Modeling
Recently it was reported that James Cameron's mega hit movie Avatar became the highest grossing film of all time with a worldwide haul of over $1.9 billion. The movie is sure to break a number of box office records before all is said and done. But beyond the numbers and the accolades, Avatar offers audiences something far more intriguing: a look into the future of cinema.
For those who have not seen the film (and there aren't many), it utilizes cutting-edge 3D animation technology to create 3d characters of live actors and actresses. But as innovative and impressive as this new technology is, Avatar is not the first film to use 3d people or characters.
Early nineteen-eighties films like Tron and the Last Starfighter used computer generated 3D character models to create short sequences in both films. But the cost of these models was quite steep, so movie studios were apprehensive about investing in 3d characters or animation for several years.
The great leap forward in 3D animation came in 1995 with the release of the first full length computer animated feature film Toy Story. The movie was a world-wide hit as it went on to earn over 360 million dollars. But what impressed studio executives even more than the box office receipts was the fact that the film had been completed on a budget of only 30 million dollars. Finally the technology had become cost effective, and from that day forward movie studios were, understandably, far more receptive to projects that utilized 3D animation technology.
In fact, Toy Story was followed by a number of full length films that featured 3d people and characters, most of which were hits. There was, of course, the predictable sequel, Toy Story 2, the massive Shrek films, Final Fantasy, and now Avatar.
What has Hollywood learned? To begin with, they have learned that 3D animation technology is not only extremely popular, but also fairly inexpensive when compared with other big studio films. They have also discovered that the appeal of pictures that use 3d people is nearly universal, i.e., both adults and children are fascinated by them.
But while it might be true that Hollywood has shown this technology to the world, 3D animation has actually been used in a number of different industries for years now. From video games to product simulations to fly-through animations, 3D modeling can add accuracy and realism to almost any presentation.
The process has become extremely popular in business where it is used to create 3D corporate logos, product simulations, as well as sales and product presentations.
What are the benefits? Since 3D models can be viewed from any angle and can be created to accurately reflect real colors and surfaces and even motions, they are ideal for presenting technical information to the layperson. And when you consider the fact that 3D models can be created in about the same time it takes to produce a simple, uninspiring line drawing, it is no wonder why companies have embraced this "new" technology.
