yup, so doing a live shot for a person cuts down on rendering but it has its ups and downs like for one thing doing a live action shot means you have a to be a good actor XD plus even then you would still need to adjust the lighting conditions, for the live action shot because real world lights are pretty different from visual shots, then there is the problem for the HDRI imaging adjustment for each layer for post production compositing phase later on. Then layers upon layers of different settings, such an AO layer /Ambiant Occlusion layer to even give a much more realistic effect, also in some case specular, color, grayscale, dynamics, lighting etc are seperate layers depending on the situation or what you want to occur on the shot.
For me the scene with the dragon is the hardest to do among the scene showed in this thread. well the good news at least with the dragon scene is that you can get away with a low poly, low tesselated dragon model, high res texture specs for the dragon since its a long shot, you wont be seeing much of the details.
