I was looking at it and thinking if it was me I?d use human actors and lay CG robot parts into it. Much easier, don?t you think?

This is all 3D?

The lips "sticking" when he pronounces words in the close ups shot is making me doubt its 3D...

Perhaps it's make-up and compositing magic just like they did in the movie A.I.

I think it looks great! Best human facial animation since Gollum and Davey Jones.(well since they are not humans I guess we can discard them...)

Now we're busy talking about another rigged demo man. Move with the

    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...

    one thing that was interesting was it appeared to capture the

    jiggle of that guys lips when he shook quickly.

    very nice indeed.

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,
