Incredibly Realistic Animated Actors - Image Metrics  (VIDEO)

Welcome to the future, where actors are now obsolete.

Meet Emily. Just like in the movie, “S1m0ne,” Emily is totally fake!

That’s right, fake. They finally did it!

You can kiss your acting career goodbye, because with “Image Metrics,” any director can make their actor do and say what ever they want.

“Image Metrics” is a Manchester-based company that pioneered this specific imagining technology. Image Metrics could be the next up and coming trend for television and video games.

The brink of this technology, coupled with voice mimicking technology, will single-handedly revolutionize entertainment media.

The moral of this story is to never underestimate the future.

See for yourself in the following clip just released from 3D facial animation company Image Metrics, and which I read about in The Times Online ("Lifelike animation heralds new era for computer games"). Meet Emily. The face on the "person" talking in this clip. Emily is not real. (Credit: Video created by OTOY and Paul Debevec.) (blogs.pcworld)
