Meet your new spokesmodel

OK, I just have to say, when I first saw this I vacillated between being intrigued, and absolutely creeped out. This is very interesting technology, and seeing it side by side really shows the impact. Facial expressions are so difficult to achieve in animation, getting the eyes, eye brows, and mouth all syncing at the right time to achieve that lifelike state.

 So, what good is the technology if you aren't an all out animator? Well, I think there is potential for this technology to be utilized in marketing of products to particular audiences, including children. Want a spokesmodel for a childs product that never grows up, shaves their head or gets pregnant before they can leagally vote? Why not.

I think the possibilites are endless and love to see the progress that has been made in digital animation over the years, although I am not an animator, you can still appreciate the work and technique that goes into creating such a detailed and dynamic piece of work.
