Wow, I honestly didn't know that that kind of realism was possible with CGI. In most movies, even the newest ones with the news technology, I feel like the audience can always tell when a character is CGI or real, especially when it is a shot of the character's face. However, while watching this video, I really couldn't tell that the woman talking on screen was a CGI creation, and the light cameras that they use to create that effect look incredibly intricate. As with many of the Green Page articles and comments, however, I'm going to tie it back to the robots taking over and the collapse of human-created art. If this kind of realism is possible, will it really be necessary to have real actors in movies, or will entire movies be created digitally that look 100% real and audiences won't be able to tell the difference?
