As the man said: ?Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from a rigged demo? :-)

I wonder if they know of each other, since they are both in the LA area.

quick observation though, the animators behind the box where playing with the rigs. so a traditional rig of sorts is there to clean up the capture, at which point "jiggle" could be added...

surely face robot would work in conjunction with that capturing system? (assuming a bottomless budget)
I doubt they have it set up to efficiently manipulate captured animation, which is an area face robot distinguishes itself?

one thing that was interesting was it appeared to capture the jiggle of that guys lips when he shook quickly.
very nice indeed.

of the subtleties of the actor's performance. This reminds me of

Disney's Gemini Man project. From what I recall at a Siggy a few years

back. They used optical flow to capture the performance of actors, and I

remember them stating that it worked with better fidelity with a face

unobscured by markers. I'm definitely interested in hearing more about

this.



my 2 cents,
