So maybe it would be a good idea to wow a bit more silently about this, or you know, detail what you are wowing about a bit more, so you do not sound quite as such a sad geek.

I appreciate how difficult this is (now through my own personal experience, but I’ve been in the industry long enough to know), but I wouldn’t go so far as to call the clip mind blowing. If I didn’t know what I was watching, I’d think there was something wrong with her face…why are her mouth and eyes floating around? Very impressive, no doubt, but we’re a ways off from mind blowing if we’re striving for hyper-realism.

Frank is wrong. Anyone with half a brain can figure out how hard it is to do this. You need only try to figure it out yourself.

Frank, your wife isn’t using her imagination. Challenge her to describe how she would approach this CGI process. She doesn’t even have to know how to use a computer to do this. Challenge her to describe the aspects of a photo or animation that are just so easy to analyze empirically. Also tell her that the human brain is a very impressive supercomputer, and that the way she thinks is different from a digital equivalent. The human brain runs on analog signals (which is why we can have fuzzy memories; otherwise, we’d either have the memory or not have the memory).

*essentially a crystal clear video, like a HD picture resolution x 4, or more relatably, like natural human vision.

The problem with humans is that they don’t try to describe stuff. They let their brains do the thinking, so instead of commanding their brains, their brains command them.

@frank:

maybe you should tell your “wife” to read the second paragraph since you obviously didn’t bother to explain “how hard it is.”

I find this really impressive… because I know how difficult this is.

My wife does not. My wife would represent the average computer user, and to that average computer user it does not sound very impressive to make a digital reproduction of a real actress. I mean, in theory that is what a digital video camera does. So to an average user this does not sound any more difficult than some advanced video editing.

So maybe it would be a good idea to wow a bit more silently about this, or you know, detail what you are wowing about a bit more, so you do not sound quite as such a sad geek.
