EmployedBiography:
My name is Dave Soderberg, I am from Denver Colorado and currently design full time for Beatport (beatport.com) as well as freelance under my company: Astrel Creative. I work mostly on interactive design in my free time and interface / interactive for my career. Nothing drives me more than design, the process of creating, and the struggle to constantly be inspired. I am a designer who loves to view, encourage and be inspired by other people's work and creativity. I see design as a constant challenge to communicate something / anything to anyone, whether you're communicating a message or trying to create an interface that is not only beautiful to look at but intuitive to even the most recreational user. Read my blog to see what I've been creating, inspired by or thinking about.

Emily Is Not Real!?

Ok, this is a crazy new development in life-like animation. You have to check out the video on the article about this animation technology.
"Emily - the woman in the above animation - was produced using a new modelling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated."

The Video quality is awfull. To blured to see if she is real or not...
Its trully amazing, but i can still tell if its animated. Its always the mouth that they can't get right. When you cover the mouth and see other facial expressions, its as real as it can be. I think in few years we wouldn't be able to tell if something is live shot or animation.
Really amazing!! would love to see a high quality version of the video, main noticble issue for me is the right side of her head (her left) seems a little flat, as if the lighting wasn't hitting textured skin. Brilliant nonetheless!
