Off topic, but Snowden's face seems to look "fake" in an interesting way... maybe it's makeup, the lighting, video compression, or a combination of those things... and his out-of-sync audio seems to enhance the synthetic feeling - for me anyway.
Of course his physical appearance isn't important to the topic of the interview, but maybe a part of me wishes that Edward Snowden was really a CG persona/face created to represent an anonymous group of whistleblowers.
- foobarlicious 12y agoThere are filters on Hangout now and the default one that gets selected even if you don't want is "Enhanced" and it clears blemishes and gives you this CG-like look.
- curiousgeorgio 12y agoGood to know - thanks for pointing that out!
- walrus 12y agoThat's really weird. I wonder what drove the decision to make that default.
