    CGI and Video Game Animation

    I have been mildly aggravated by CGI and 3D animation for a while, and this week, I thought I'd just dive right in and analyze why CGI and video game characters look and move differently than real (real? live? actual? I don't know...) humans.  Also, I think I said General Moff Tarkin instead of Grand Moff Tarkin, I hope all of the die-hard Star Wars fans out there will forgive my slip up. The book I mentioned is called Making Faces by Kevin Aucoin. It's available on Amazon.

(Well, a mistake, but a stupid one on my part.) I should have said “near reach” and “far reach.”

    The Woman King

    Paul Eckman review next week! Also, I know I mentioned the Patreon page in the intro to this episode originally, but I just don't have time to keep it up to date. So, ignore what I said about Patreon. If I get to the point where I can put more time into it, I'll let you know!
