"why do you even need dynamic hair? Couldn't you get a good prop hair with movement morphs to get a realistic effect for soemthing like that?" He wants to do really extreme close-ups of the face and hair in his shots. 99% of transmapped "prop" hair will fail under that close scrutiny. In other words, it will look totally fake. However, it could pass if the close-up shots were brief, with motion blur to distract from the obvious flaws.
