I’m loving these segments – Thanks Norm!
Really intresting to watch!
Great videos, hope there’ll be opportunities to make more like these in the future
I like that there’s a sort of literal evolution here in the crossing of the uncanny valley to eventually being able to render/animate/model human expression.
Great interview! While I realize this was a press junket, but it would be amazing to see a longer interview on the technical side of film making with actors/directors/artists at some point. A podcast would be perfect.
I like the way Norm sets the context – telling the interviewees that we are interested in the technical aspects of movie making – and then he lets them talk.
