To be honest, the way her mouth moves in real life felt very off. The "(over-)acting" during the capture was very unnatural, likely down to pressure of being on-stage as well as that just being a common problem for untrained actors doing anything scripted.
Would be interested to see how it handles a capture of someone just engaging in natural conversation or something else less dramatic & exaggerated.
- mecsred 4y agoI don't have a source for this information, I think it's something I remember from looking into this technology years ago. I believe actors are instructed to over-act on purpose, because it's better in the end to ham it up a bit to help the tracking system capture fine detail. If you risk the system losing the fine detail in your expression the end result can look a lot worse and reduce the number of useable takes.
- Nevermark 4y agoIt would be wonderful to allow overacting, to give the actor high dynamic control over nuance “production”, … and then be able to dial back the overacting automatically & manually for generation.
- Groxx 4y agoYou get similar advice pretty much any time you get near a stage, because the audience is far away and can't see subtle movements. Also they're generally talking louder than normal. I'm not sure that explains it all, but there are expected differences compared to how someone would move while talking normally.
