This video is AMAZING and well worth watching. Skip ahead a minute or so if you have a very short attention span.
I most enjoyed watching Obama with Bush's facial expressions -- Bush is so expressive that it just looks incredibly wrong on Obama's face -- I wish they would run an Obama speech on Bush's face as well.
- otoburb 11y agoThe last 20 seconds are impressively creepy. I'm thinking this technology demo will be spliced into 5s edits for least one prime time TV show themed around shadowy intelligence agencies by middle of next year. Show writers will be able to incorporate this as a plot enabler for upcoming episodes, assuming they haven't already finished shooting the current seasons.
- LesZedCB 11y agoI don't know if you noticed, but they also ran the voice through some modulation to make Bush's voice sound like Obama as well. It was surprisingly convincing...
- jevinskie 11y agoHonestly I was most impressed by that pairing. The software seemed to "get" Obama's "persona" when while Bush purses his bottom lip over his top lip, Obama had more of a pucker where the lips are merely pressed together.

- vessenes 11y agoIt seems like Obama's lip is given a different stiffness than Bush's. I wonder if that comes from software -- e.g. for personality or physical reasons, his lip is more stiff, or something else.
