Emily…was produced using a new modelling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated.
Researchers…started with a video of an employee talking. They then broke down down the facial movements down into dozens of smaller movements, each of which was given a ‘control system’.
The team at Image Metrics…then recreated the gestures, movement by movement, in a model. The aim was to overcome the traditional difficulties of animating a human face, for instance that the skin looks too shiny, or that the movements are too symmetrical.
“Ninety per cent of the work is convincing people that the eyes are real,” Mike Starkenburg, chief operating officer of Image Metrics, said.
That’s pretty effin crazy. I don’t know about the eyes though that’s what seemed off to me. Not the expressions at all those were spot on. But it seems like a lot of cgi loses its shit on eyes. Like Polar Express there was NO SHADING ON THE EYES IT WAS SO CREEPY I COULDNT WATCH IT
