Welcome to the Uncann… ARRHHHH KILL IT!

Was digging through Youtube videos lately and ran across some videos of CG animated characters and is the way of Youtube ended up spending way too much time digging through a ton of “related videos” and stuff.
Was struck by how realistic and nice some of the work is, up until they open their mouths anyway. Seems that’s still the weakest point in the resulting in the whole uncanny valley thing.
Here’s some of the more impressive videos I found.
The vast majority are female characters, not sure if that says something about me or the people making the stuff. =D

The Emily Obrien Project in particularly was impressive I thought.

Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides

Newest movie looks like it might actually be pretty good.
It shares a title with a book I really loved, On Stranger Tides by Tim Powers, but it doesn’t seem like it shares anything else with the book except for the most basic of concepts and the character Blackbeard.
But it still looks like it might be better than the last two.
Have a look for yourself.
