I immediately wondered if her facial expressions were deliberately chosen to fit what the algorithm is good at - her angry face looked rather silly but the generated version matched pretty good. The generated “gaze to the side” however lacked most of the emotion I read of the “original”
- Zetice 4y agoI also got that sense, specifically around how much she showed her teeth during her video recording. I suspect the algorithm does that with teeth, so she was told "show teeth the entire time" to make it seem like the algorithm was more correct.
- waboremo 4y agoThat seems like a reasonable assumption, especially when the actor's previous work in the same franchise wasn't that overly dramatized, and this was a one time shot on stage sort of deal. I could see them potentially informing her to go big as the capture will work with it, vs something realistic which might come across in the demo as "not working".
- ohgodplsno 4y agoNot to fit what the algorithm is good at, because because all actors that have done face capture regularly end up overdoing their facial movements, because tech didn't capture it well if they didn't. Add that to the fact that she just has a very expressive face (she is the face capture actor Senua in for Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice, and that character also has sometimes facial animations that feel uncanny, but it's really the actress doing that much.)
