Fine tune is the magic word that comes to my mind.
For ex : The horses : I don't think it was done using motion capture. Actually Rajini rocks (motion capture) as though he is on the horse, but the horse was added only after (3D animation). It has to be seen whether they make the horses look proportionate.
Well, I am not sure they have integrated all the images and models, also I do not have any clue on the softwares used - any info on that would be appreciated.
I also think that after the dubbing, there is tuning to be done on the animation to sink with the expressions and as usual some final touches.
The 2nd one, I don't know. Checking ....
What worries me is that, if the colorings are already done, its a pain to do a retouch on the corrections.
I sincerely hope they release the making off either in a book format or as a bonus material.

While its pretty apparent that the quality is of no match to the ones seen in Avatar or Tintin, I believe we need to cut some slack. An effort has been made and it needs to be appreciated. Plus as mappi said, I believe the motion capture was only for the actors. Even in the case of Avatar, the riding of the mountain banshee and the great leonopteryx were done using simulators. And there wasn't a single close up shot of Rajni. There were a lot of medium shots. I feel the CU shots would be sort of an indicator of as to how well the motion capture has turned out.

Yes, I totally agree with you on the CU. As I had mentioned, in the teaser there is only 17 secs of visuals, that was mistook by few as a technical analysis. But no, I just wanted to stress that with 17secs of (minimal) visuals what can we infer ? But still they have left behind some materials in the teaser that I personally felt that they have come out pretty clean. Another point to note is that there are no voice at all - no human sound, that puts some weird thoughts in me whether the dubbing is really completed or ... but it seemed as though ARR has finished his work. Avarum, Rasul Pookutti-um summa "chak-ting-sling-nu" RR la velaiyadi irrukanga.

On a personal Fanboy note : I would have mixed Billa2 + Rise of the titans for the teaser => the whole title card was a big draw back, nothing new in either color or fonts (see 2nd World for that). So, I would have cut those and showed only the visuals in a "eye-blink" manner, slowly increasing the interest and the momentum until the epic Rajini nadai. After the end title card, I would have closed the teaser with a soaring Rajini with a spear on top of a "red-eyed-evil-toothed-dolphin" with an epic ARR blast.
Actually, I was waiting for something like that in the end, but sat there just gazing the monitor !

Hope the trailer has some exiting stuff like that.
