Reality concept has a crucial significance in the movies as well as in the other fields of art. In the movies, the
identification of the audiences with the characters, and their believing what they watched are some of the reasons
underlying this reality. On the one hand, the incidents happening in the imaginary world might take its audiences
to the place where wanted and on the other hand they might convey the message that is desired. In the creation of
reality with the development of technology, what is watched for an audience is getting more and more believable.
Both the development of the technology in the movie theatres such as the use of the anaglyph spectacles and the
improvements of the film production techniques support the creation of the reality in the movies.
In this study, the contribution of virtual characters used in the movies to the reality of the film is going to be
examined. Even though audiences do not live in real terms, they perceive the characters within the integrity of the
film with the other characters in the real life. Thanks to the developing technology, virtual characters have become
inseparable from real performers. In order to the realistic appearance of these characters, some technical
specifications need to be gathered. At the end of some stages having different kinds of difficulties, the characters
reach their final appearances. However, the reality in here is not a concept that is going to be discussed with its
unique feature. Aforesaid reality is the reality having a different structure with a good deal of features. In the
realistic presentation of a character, there are a lot of features completing each other such as its acting within the
context of its design, dubbing, and movements.
In the study, virtual characters used in the films at present which are created in computers are going to be discussed.
Then, the features underlying the realistic performances and appearances of these characters are going to be
presented. These simulated characters depended on the imitation of reality are going to be evaluated in terms of
Baudrillard’s Simulation Theory. The paradox being caused by the believable influence of characters on the
audiences which are not real in spite of having all the features of reality as in the simulation causes is going to be
demonstrated in this study.
