Project Details
- "The Digital Clone is a 3D, realistic 'human' digital character that appears on screen with the look and feel of a live actor. A state-of-the-art facial tracking and animation system tracks the motion of an actor on a live set (without a cumbersome motion capture suit) and drives the movements of a 3D digital character. The Digital Clone is then composited into the live action."
