…Hayden in the ROTJ unmasking scene?
dodges tomatoes
I’d be curious to see that mocked up. Just curious. I wonder how it’d look to map Hayden’s face over Shaw’s for the ghost scene, too. Better? It’d be hard not for it to be.
Seems like a fun thing to play with.
In the interest of seeing how well it works - I wonder if good enough footage of the older actors from the OT could be found of when they are younger and placed over their PT equivalents?

Decent results, not seamless. I don’t think the technology is ready for replacing an actor across an entire movie (yet). And the face can’t be high resolution (yet) so it doesn’t look real on closeups and HD video. But it could be useful in certain instances, like holograms and characters not too close to the camera.
Not sure if the puppet face would look good in a CGI character, but worth a try. Really like the idea for Palpatine.
Agreed, particularly for the ESB hologram scene (though it’d be nice if he looked more ROTJ-like in ROTS, too, I suppose).
Wait, the ESB hologram, really? Ady already did that?
And he did a very good job with what he had available to him at the time, but it’s still rather stiff and photograph-y (though it’s my preferred version of the scene by far). I’m mostly just curious to see how well this would work in comparison.
Here’s an idea. Since the software replaces the entire face you don’t have to be limited to existing footage. Based on the dialogue you want you could film an actor (or yourself) miming the words in a McDiarmid way and moving your face how you want (less stiff). Then you replace that stand in face with McDiarmid. For best results the stand in face needs to be similar in structure to McDiarmid, lit in the way it is in the movie, and perhaps including the cloak/hood.

I’m not sure either, but I’d like to see it tried.

Omg that looks amazing
With all due respect, I think it looks pretty terrible.
Yeah, the uncanny valley is strong with that one…
Uncanny valley… with an alien ?
The face is too big.

Ignore my previous statement, fellow Human. Apologies for the confusion.

This. He almost looks like an anime character (and we all know how bad that is).
…David Prowse in the ROTJ unmasking scene?
Sad thing is that actual has been filmed by fans, they’re just not allowed to release it. Ah well, maybe when he’s dead Lucasfilm’ll soften up about it.

Is anime hated 'round these parts?

Looks damn good to me. Might be weird in motion though, since CG Yoda has a bit more articulation to his face. Who knows, though, might end up with a ESB-Revisited vibe.

Not really, no. Frink and a few close associates are the only ones who’ve expressed a particular dislike for anime. Their dislike was so strong, though, that it became a running joke for a while to mock the stuff.
I think it looks better than the bringer of nightmares TPM puppet, maybe even the digital one.
I thought it was pretty odd at first but have grown to think it actually looks quite good. Darth Lucas’s mention about it’s effectiveness in motion is also a valid concern though.

I like anime. Even if i have only seen 1 or 4.

Joke?
Anything that goes on too long becomes a joke … often an unfunny one.

If you’re talking about anime, I must agree. Should’ve stop making them long ago.

It’s growing on me but definitely not good. Face is way too big.
