Lale is a hard-working photo model. Now she’s discovered a way to get more freedom. She can get her body scanned to create a digital clone that can also become a model, in the virtual world. Before leaping into the abyss, she decides to find out more about the implications. The tension between reality and illusion keeps returning at various levels throughout this explorative merging of documentary and science fiction. Is reality still important?
"This film is quite approachable and can get students to think about the implications of digital clones." – Educational Media Reviews Online
"A jumping-off point for classroom discussions on technology in the modern world." – Video Librarian

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:30.882
Ready to rumble?
00:01:44.396 --> 00:01:45.439
Is that ok?
00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:46.231
Yes
00:01:46.231 --> 00:01:48.233
I'm not sure if the
hair line has moved...?
00:02:00.704 --> 00:02:03.623
No, the hat will cover it anyway
00:02:15.469 --> 00:02:17.763
- This could also look
pretty cool - Yeah
00:02:17.763 --> 00:02:20.641
It would be really, bam,
in your face
00:02:20.641 --> 00:02:21.391
Yeah
00:02:22.017 --> 00:02:24.394
But I think the colours are
also really really cool
00:02:25.187 --> 00:02:26.438
Cool
00:02:29.983 --> 00:02:31.693
- But that's real hair right?
- Yes
00:02:31.693 --> 00:02:32.569
Yes
00:02:39.785 --> 00:02:41.370
- It's real hair?
- Mhmm!
00:02:42.621 --> 00:02:45.207
They're not all real hair,
but this one is real hair
00:02:47.542 --> 00:02:48.919
Crazy
00:02:54.591 --> 00:02:56.593
Yeah, very nice
00:03:01.348 --> 00:03:03.850
- Another one upright?
- No, now you can move
00:03:05.602 --> 00:03:06.895
Stay, wait a sec
00:03:06.895 --> 00:03:08.897
Keep your body
upright like before
00:03:09.689 --> 00:03:11.149
And only move your head
00:03:14.736 --> 00:03:16.363
Very nice, keep going
00:03:18.990 --> 00:03:21.868
Okay, and let's go back to still
00:03:32.170 --> 00:03:34.172
Uh-huh, uh-huh, flash
00:03:36.466 --> 00:03:37.551
Like that is nice
00:03:46.977 --> 00:03:47.853
Cool
00:03:48.645 --> 00:03:50.897
Come closer to me,
a little bit closer to me
00:03:52.274 --> 00:03:53.275
Beautiful
00:04:06.663 --> 00:04:08.457
I know it's super exhausting
00:04:08.457 --> 00:04:12.210
But it needs to, it needs to
flow and look more natural
00:04:13.044 --> 00:04:15.130
Yeah like that's nice
00:04:15.130 --> 00:04:17.507
The way you had your head
just then was good
00:04:18.216 --> 00:04:20.051
That's really nice
00:04:20.051 --> 00:04:21.678
No, you can stay where you were
00:04:21.678 --> 00:04:23.430
Yeah, come out a little bit
00:04:23.430 --> 00:04:26.266
You can really put your
head in the... yeah
00:04:38.361 --> 00:04:39.780
Very nice
00:04:40.655 --> 00:04:41.323
Okay
00:06:00.110 --> 00:06:03.863
Sometimes you just need
the onesie, the hot water bottle
00:06:03.863 --> 00:06:06.283
and socks knitted by grandma
00:06:07.951 --> 00:06:09.828
This is the
00:06:10.203 --> 00:06:12.205
Onesie
00:06:15.041 --> 00:06:19.087
When I talk about what
my goals are, and
00:06:20.255 --> 00:06:23.967
Where I want to develop,
my morals, and
00:06:28.888 --> 00:06:31.016
How I want to use my spare time
00:06:32.601 --> 00:06:36.021
It used to be, maybe,
"I want to go to the next club"
00:06:36.021 --> 00:06:39.774
And now it's, "I want to buy an
apartment and then make a baby".
00:06:40.442 --> 00:06:42.652
So I think it's good that
Lale is getting older
00:06:42.652 --> 00:06:44.946
And then there's the
other Lale of course
00:06:44.946 --> 00:06:47.991
The one who's getting
wrinkles on her forehead
00:06:49.618 --> 00:06:53.455
And, hmm, let me think, am I
also fine with her getting old?
00:06:58.168 --> 00:07:01.838
Well yeah, I don't want to
look like I do now for ever
00:07:04.883 --> 00:07:08.970
The fact that I am
changing, proves that I am here
00:07:13.058 --> 00:07:16.311
It can't be that the
world changes around me,
00:07:16.311 --> 00:07:19.314
and only I don't,
how horrible would that be
00:07:28.698 --> 00:07:29.991
Does it scare you?
00:07:31.785 --> 00:07:33.161
A bit
00:07:33.870 --> 00:07:36.581
Or should we -Roar-
00:07:36.581 --> 00:07:39.084
find something pretty for me?
00:07:46.424 --> 00:07:49.803
Okay, and which one do
you want to take?
00:07:50.595 --> 00:07:54.057
Red, or blue?
00:07:54.057 --> 00:07:55.558
Red pill
00:07:58.436 --> 00:07:59.813
But, have you got me already?
00:07:59.813 --> 00:08:01.898
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
you're all dressed
00:08:01.898 --> 00:08:03.900
Uuh, stop, what am I wearing?
00:08:04.442 --> 00:08:07.654
You're wearing a black dress
00:08:08.655 --> 00:08:13.159
With a belt around your waist
00:08:13.994 --> 00:08:16.496
- Here?
- Yes exactly, uh-huh
00:08:17.288 --> 00:08:22.335
Your arms still look
very mechanical, like...
00:08:22.335 --> 00:08:23.586
Like this?
00:08:23.586 --> 00:08:25.797
Yeah, mhmm
00:08:25.797 --> 00:08:27.966
But do you think it's pretty?
00:08:27.966 --> 00:08:29.968
Or does it look ridiculous?
00:08:31.344 --> 00:08:34.222
It still looks a bit
ridiculous, I have to say
00:08:35.265 --> 00:08:37.267
I do feel a bit ridiculous
00:08:38.768 --> 00:08:40.770
Alright
00:08:41.396 --> 00:08:42.272
Huh?!
00:08:42.272 --> 00:08:46.818
So, now we see, um, an...
00:08:46.818 --> 00:08:50.572
It's not really, no wait
it's moving with you now
00:08:50.572 --> 00:08:52.073
Wow
00:08:52.073 --> 00:08:53.616
But it's like kind
of see-through
00:08:53.616 --> 00:08:55.285
Wait! Not so fast, not so fast!
00:08:55.285 --> 00:08:56.745
Do I look like Cinderella?
00:08:56.745 --> 00:08:59.122
You need to come closer,
you need to come closer
00:08:59.122 --> 00:09:01.958
Yeah, but if it hasn't
been matched to my body
00:09:01.958 --> 00:09:04.961
And if it doesn't look
like something
00:09:04.961 --> 00:09:07.505
I'd wear in real life, then...
00:09:07.505 --> 00:09:12.719
So this would be, like,
red carpet, for sure
00:09:12.719 --> 00:09:14.012
I can get behind that
00:09:14.012 --> 00:09:14.888
Yeah, yeah
00:09:15.680 --> 00:09:17.182
Go to the other one
00:09:17.182 --> 00:09:19.142
And then the others...
00:09:19.142 --> 00:09:20.769
You mean these?
00:09:22.520 --> 00:09:23.980
That, yes
00:09:29.277 --> 00:09:31.571
And then, how much,
what do you think
00:09:31.571 --> 00:09:33.990
How much money do
you think you'd get?
00:09:33.990 --> 00:09:35.575
No idea
00:09:36.117 --> 00:09:37.535
I mean, how much...
00:09:37.994 --> 00:09:39.662
Would an avatar make
00:09:39.662 --> 00:09:43.666
I don't know, at the end of
the day you're only sending a
00:09:43.666 --> 00:09:47.170
file but I really have no idea,
I can't even guess
00:09:47.670 --> 00:09:52.467
Don't you think, that there
are still, um...
00:09:53.468 --> 00:09:57.722
People, who really like
your avatar
00:09:58.264 --> 00:10:01.434
And might be influenced by it
00:10:02.519 --> 00:10:05.647
That means, you mean that I...
00:10:05.647 --> 00:10:09.359
I have a responsibility
as the 'source'
00:10:09.359 --> 00:10:12.362
- For the work that my
avatar does? - I think so, yes
00:10:59.325 --> 00:11:03.246
Do you prefer giving your
avatars numbers instead of
names?
00:11:03.246 --> 00:11:05.915
Up until now I have preferred it
00:11:05.915 --> 00:11:10.253
Of course I have thought about
if I should give them a human
00:11:10.253 --> 00:11:11.588
name like yours or mine
00:11:11.588 --> 00:11:15.133
And then I considered,
or thought...
00:11:15.133 --> 00:11:17.969
Without denouncing it, that I...
00:11:18.803 --> 00:11:21.097
That for the moment, I don't
want to, because, yeah...
00:11:21.097 --> 00:11:23.182
I find it a bit, yeah...
00:11:23.182 --> 00:11:25.185
I feel, it still doesn't
feel quite right yet
00:11:30.565 --> 00:11:35.486
And that's, around about, how
you could also do it with a real
00:11:35.486 --> 00:11:38.197
person, a.k.a: you, I mean there
are still some errors
00:11:38.197 --> 00:11:40.199
Eyes are still a bit dark...
00:11:41.492 --> 00:11:45.204
On the other hand there
are parts, even here
00:11:45.204 --> 00:11:50.460
In the preview, that look
quite realistic, the lips, for
00:11:51.169 --> 00:11:54.797
example, and here are some
presets, that someone has
00:11:54.797 --> 00:11:58.259
already set up, what you can do,
bring someone to life
00:11:59.010 --> 00:12:01.012
And then you would
00:12:01.512 --> 00:12:04.307
For a custom avatar,
or for a digital you
00:12:04.307 --> 00:12:06.059
Or a scanned avatar
00:12:06.059 --> 00:12:08.311
You would copy this, basically
00:12:09.979 --> 00:12:11.606
Yeah, and...
00:12:13.233 --> 00:12:16.277
This is what it looks like,
one second
00:12:16.277 --> 00:12:20.281
Of course the eyebrows are
still missing and so on and
00:12:20.281 --> 00:12:22.784
so forth, let's see if we
can't find them here
00:12:24.827 --> 00:12:27.288
Brows, eyelashes
00:12:30.249 --> 00:12:33.252
And, it still needs to
be worked on
00:12:33.252 --> 00:12:35.129
The hair usually doesn't
work too well
00:12:35.129 --> 00:12:37.465
It needs to be re-done,
you have to...
00:12:37.465 --> 00:12:39.550
Do a lot of 'clean-up'
00:12:39.550 --> 00:12:41.803
Make things better
00:12:41.803 --> 00:12:44.889
Reconstruct the bottom of
the feet, because you're
00:12:44.889 --> 00:12:46.975
standing on the floor, that's
why, of course we can't see them
00:12:46.975 --> 00:12:48.851
in the scan.and all
those details
00:12:48.851 --> 00:12:52.313
But, with a bit of work, or a
lot of work, it depends
00:12:52.313 --> 00:12:56.275
We get a complete,
photo-realistic...
00:12:56.275 --> 00:12:59.612
Yeah, human-like, avatar
00:13:18.631 --> 00:13:21.301
You don't need a location,
I mean, no physical location
00:13:21.301 --> 00:13:22.802
You don't need a physical model
00:13:22.802 --> 00:13:27.056
You need a model, but they
don't need to be there in person
00:13:27.056 --> 00:13:28.975
Most of all, not at
any particular given time
00:13:28.975 --> 00:13:32.687
And you don't need, a whole
team, not simultaneously
00:13:32.687 --> 00:13:39.318
Of light artists, hair, make-up,
wardrobe, so on and so forth
00:13:39.318 --> 00:13:42.488
You can do it all, digital
00:13:42.488 --> 00:13:45.783
And, um... you're extremely free
00:13:45.783 --> 00:13:48.494
In terms of hours,
location, and...
00:13:48.494 --> 00:13:53.583
You can even generate new
shots later, from the same scene
00:13:53.583 --> 00:13:56.002
In the quote unquote
'real world'
00:13:56.002 --> 00:14:00.256
You would have to re-rent
the location, re-hire the team,
00:14:00.256 --> 00:14:02.258
and get all the clothes again
00:14:03.092 --> 00:14:05.303
And... it's pretty crazy
00:14:05.303 --> 00:14:07.388
I mean, it's coming, for sure
00:14:07.388 --> 00:14:09.265
And that's not going
to necessarily mean
00:14:09.265 --> 00:14:12.977
That the classic shoots,
or campaigns will stop
00:14:12.977 --> 00:14:13.770
Not at all!
00:14:13.770 --> 00:14:16.522
But it will exist in
parallel, and it's going to grow
00:14:16.522 --> 00:14:17.774
And I also find it
super exciting
00:14:17.774 --> 00:14:20.777
And I think that for you
it's also an 'empowerment',
00:14:20.777 --> 00:14:23.154
because you can decide how you
are utilised
00:14:23.154 --> 00:14:25.156
Without needing to
physically be there
00:15:09.867 --> 00:15:11.994
Hi, I need to get in there
00:15:12.495 --> 00:15:13.371
Thank you
00:15:55.454 --> 00:15:57.081
Are you doing that for
YouTube or something?
00:15:57.081 --> 00:15:58.708
Or, why do you have this?
00:15:59.167 --> 00:16:01.294
Uuuuumm... No, no YouTube
00:16:44.921 --> 00:16:47.256
Yeah it's very nice,
I really like this one
00:16:47.882 --> 00:16:49.425
- Really?
- Yes!
00:16:51.219 --> 00:16:52.803
Looks, real...
00:16:54.096 --> 00:16:56.390
It looks very relaxed, lovely
00:16:56.390 --> 00:16:58.517
It wasn't relaxed, honestly
00:16:58.517 --> 00:16:59.352
Why not?
00:16:59.352 --> 00:17:01.521
Because it's never relaxed,
when you're lying down
00:17:01.521 --> 00:17:04.357
and the camera is above you,
and it's very...
00:17:04.357 --> 00:17:05.816
Exposed
00:17:05.816 --> 00:17:08.236
As soon as you move the
dress slips up
00:17:08.236 --> 00:17:09.195
Or, something else...
00:17:09.528 --> 00:17:12.073
Gets messed up, and it's...
00:17:12.073 --> 00:17:15.034
I don't like it so much,
being photographed while lying
down
00:17:19.080 --> 00:17:20.706
Do you think that looks like me?
00:17:22.458 --> 00:17:25.378
Uuuh... Yes
00:17:26.671 --> 00:17:29.507
Yes, that look on your face,
I haven't seen that look a lot
00:17:29.507 --> 00:17:31.509
But it does look like you
00:17:32.343 --> 00:17:33.094
Yes, sure
00:17:33.094 --> 00:17:36.180
Why, has a lot been
done to it, or?
00:17:36.180 --> 00:17:39.016
No, thankfully not on that one
00:17:40.393 --> 00:17:41.894
You can see your teeth\
on that one
00:17:44.397 --> 00:17:46.399
- Yeah the rabbit...
- They're so typical for you
00:17:47.483 --> 00:17:49.068
It's... great
00:17:55.658 --> 00:17:57.285
You can see my teeth
again there!
00:17:57.285 --> 00:17:59.287
Yes! The two rabbit teeth!
00:18:01.122 --> 00:18:02.623
They really stand out
00:18:02.623 --> 00:18:03.791
But it's beautiful!
00:18:06.002 --> 00:18:08.170
And here there's even the
scar on the knee
00:18:08.170 --> 00:18:11.340
- Mhmm
- Do you remember? That's when
00:18:12.717 --> 00:18:15.011
I fell off that scooter And that
really festered
00:18:15.011 --> 00:18:16.387
It bled so much
00:18:16.387 --> 00:18:19.181
And then I dragged myself
through the streets
00:18:19.181 --> 00:18:20.808
Up to our apartment
00:18:20.808 --> 00:18:23.978
And all the blood gushed
all over my leg
00:18:25.146 --> 00:18:27.148
I remember
00:18:28.607 --> 00:18:31.319
No, but there are, I've
seen photos of you, where
00:18:31.319 --> 00:18:34.238
I thought that I almost
can't recognise you
00:18:34.238 --> 00:18:36.490
The one you sent grandma
00:18:36.490 --> 00:18:38.326
that I think it's...
00:18:38.326 --> 00:18:41.329
You think so?
I mean, yeeeeaah...
00:18:41.329 --> 00:18:44.123
Yes, in some of them your
face is much fuller
00:18:44.123 --> 00:18:46.667
I had the feeling, you, you...
00:18:46.667 --> 00:18:48.669
Your face has a
completely different form
00:18:50.963 --> 00:18:52.965
That really was crazy
00:18:54.342 --> 00:18:56.802
There is always, things are
always photoshopped
00:18:56.802 --> 00:18:57.511
Yeah
00:18:57.511 --> 00:19:01.098
And, yeah, of course my
nose often gets photoshopped,
00:19:01.807 --> 00:19:03.976
but one person sees it like
this, the other like that
00:19:04.518 --> 00:19:07.063
How do you think they photoshop
my pictures in China?
00:19:08.230 --> 00:19:11.484
I don't even want to imagine
00:19:11.484 --> 00:19:12.693
Really, wow
00:19:12.693 --> 00:19:14.111
But...
00:19:16.489 --> 00:19:19.075
I don't think that it
has anything to do with me
00:19:20.159 --> 00:19:21.243
Rather, more with...?
00:19:22.328 --> 00:19:25.331
It's about other peoples
ideals of beauty
00:19:25.331 --> 00:19:27.416
It's got nothing to do with me
00:19:27.416 --> 00:19:30.920
And if I don't completely
fulfil their ideal, yeah...
00:19:32.963 --> 00:19:36.300
Should I get hung up on that,
or try chase after it?
00:19:36.300 --> 00:19:38.302
No, of course you
shouldn't do that
00:19:41.597 --> 00:19:43.599
And then it's...
00:19:44.767 --> 00:19:48.020
What is it then...
is it a person?
00:19:48.020 --> 00:19:51.315
No, it's not a person,
so it's a Lale...
00:19:51.982 --> 00:19:54.819
Your body, your face
00:19:55.903 --> 00:19:58.531
It can move, and it can...
00:19:59.990 --> 00:20:01.992
Somehow, be...
00:20:03.869 --> 00:20:10.251
Be shown with particular
clothes, or props like that
00:20:11.961 --> 00:20:13.379
- So...
- Or...
00:20:14.672 --> 00:20:16.132
- Should I explain it to you?
- Yes
00:20:16.132 --> 00:20:18.759
Explain it to me, I find
it hard to imagine
00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.304
Picture this: I'm in a room
00:20:23.722 --> 00:20:26.725
And there are lots of cameras
all around me
00:20:27.351 --> 00:20:31.313
I go inside, like in the
full body scanner at the airport
00:20:31.313 --> 00:20:33.649
- So that's how I'm standing,
you know? - Yes
00:20:33.649 --> 00:20:37.236
And... then they take a snapshot
00:20:37.236 --> 00:20:39.238
And that creates a photo
00:20:39.655 --> 00:20:41.657
And, from all sides at once
00:20:42.074 --> 00:20:44.076
360 degrees around me
00:20:44.743 --> 00:20:46.454
And this snap-shot
00:20:46.787 --> 00:20:48.456
Of every part of my body
00:20:48.789 --> 00:20:50.416
Every angle of my body
00:20:51.041 --> 00:20:52.334
Is a scan
00:20:52.334 --> 00:20:54.920
- That can be put together
- Mhmm
00:20:54.920 --> 00:21:00.009
Into an avatar, into a
digital version of my body
00:21:00.509 --> 00:21:01.927
In that moment
00:21:02.845 --> 00:21:05.139
And it can then be animated
00:21:05.973 --> 00:21:08.267
- That means that it can
be moved - Yes
00:21:09.560 --> 00:21:12.813
That means, at the end of it
all, your facial expression
00:21:13.481 --> 00:21:15.483
That would be the goal
00:21:15.858 --> 00:21:19.320
The way you look,
the way you move
00:21:20.529 --> 00:21:25.451
I think that the nearer you
try to get, the harder it gets
00:21:25.451 --> 00:21:26.452
to implement - Yeah...
00:21:26.744 --> 00:21:30.164
It's all very technical
and I think very expensive
00:21:30.664 --> 00:21:32.500
Would I be able to tell
the difference?
00:21:33.167 --> 00:21:36.212
Yeah, I mean, on the
screen for example
00:21:36.212 --> 00:21:38.214
- Do you want to know?
- Yes
00:21:39.757 --> 00:21:43.844
Umm... ideally you wouldn't be
able to tell the difference
00:21:45.763 --> 00:21:48.057
But Mum, I really have to say
00:21:48.057 --> 00:21:51.352
There's always the first
ones, that try things out
00:21:52.520 --> 00:21:54.939
- That's right, yes
- And there are always concerns
00:21:54.939 --> 00:21:57.441
At the start, and for
good reason
00:21:58.651 --> 00:22:01.445
But it's also kind of cool
to be one of the first
00:22:01.445 --> 00:22:06.951
Surely, surely, I can understand
the appeal, absolutely
00:22:06.951 --> 00:22:10.204
Right? And we're swimming
in tepid waters, and no one
00:22:10.204 --> 00:22:12.206
really knows, but let's find
out!
00:22:12.998 --> 00:22:16.627
It's just the question, how high
the price could turn out to be?
00:23:36.248 --> 00:23:38.751
You're so pretty
00:23:42.588 --> 00:23:44.590
The shitty thing about
travelling is:
00:23:45.299 --> 00:23:46.842
And a lot of people don't see it
00:23:47.217 --> 00:23:52.473
You spend so much time, in
these in-between worlds
00:23:53.057 --> 00:23:56.310
At trains stations,
or in the train
00:23:56.310 --> 00:23:58.854
In airports, or in an airplane
00:23:59.939 --> 00:24:01.273
Or in busses
00:24:02.066 --> 00:24:03.233
And you don't want to be there
00:24:03.233 --> 00:24:06.028
You only want to arrive,
or be back home
00:24:06.028 --> 00:24:08.113
But you really don't want
to be on this trip
00:24:08.113 --> 00:24:11.909
And the time you're spending
isn't on clock, it's free time
00:24:13.285 --> 00:24:15.287
That's... the deal
00:24:18.082 --> 00:24:20.960
The deal is, that my
life revolves around the job
00:24:44.817 --> 00:24:47.528
And then the question would
be: what happens
00:24:47.528 --> 00:24:49.530
If the avatar becomes
autonomous?
00:24:50.155 --> 00:24:52.658
What happens if the
avatar gets copied
00:24:52.658 --> 00:24:55.369
And turns up in some
sex forum somewhere?
00:24:55.369 --> 00:25:00.249
Then, that, will
test your mettle
00:25:00.249 --> 00:25:03.210
Because, of course you'll be
able to fight against it
00:25:04.169 --> 00:25:07.881
But then it's a question of who
is the perpetrator? Can you
00:25:07.881 --> 00:25:09.883
find them? and so on...
00:25:11.093 --> 00:25:13.470
And even if you fight against
it, it's still the case
00:25:13.470 --> 00:25:15.723
That the avatar looks like me
00:25:15.723 --> 00:25:19.143
And so my person is still
being harmed
00:25:19.143 --> 00:25:21.937
No matter if it is
being combatted, or not
00:25:21.937 --> 00:25:24.481
That is the case, that's
why there are many people
00:25:24.481 --> 00:25:28.027
In my milieu, especially older,
especially celebrities
00:25:28.694 --> 00:25:31.488
They say: I'm going to
make sure that
00:25:31.488 --> 00:25:35.534
There is no digital clone of me
walking around the internet,
00:25:36.702 --> 00:25:39.913
Well, there's this new
market though, virtual models
00:25:39.913 --> 00:25:42.958
And it's also about keeping
up with the times
00:25:42.958 --> 00:25:45.043
And to be a part of it
00:25:45.043 --> 00:25:50.090
And I don't know how old
your... clientele is otherwise
00:25:50.090 --> 00:25:52.801
- But it is important for me
-Well yes, notoriety, it's right
00:25:52.801 --> 00:25:54.428
- Umm...
- So... sure
00:25:54.428 --> 00:25:56.346
I'm asking myself exactly
these questions, and
00:25:56.346 --> 00:25:58.432
Precisely because
it's intimidating
00:25:58.432 --> 00:26:03.687
Because it's all...
still... unknown territory
00:26:04.229 --> 00:26:07.149
But it's just as important
to think about it
00:26:07.149 --> 00:26:09.151
Because, it's already happening
00:26:10.694 --> 00:26:12.237
It's already happening
00:26:12.237 --> 00:26:14.239
And it's, let's put it like this
00:26:14.740 --> 00:26:16.825
One of these days you will
take the step
00:26:16.825 --> 00:26:18.619
They're all standing
like penguins on the edge
00:26:18.619 --> 00:26:20.829
Someone in the business gave
me this example
00:26:20.829 --> 00:26:22.456
And they're waiting to see
who jumps first
00:26:23.415 --> 00:26:26.126
Right? And then there are some,
that jump too early
00:26:26.126 --> 00:26:28.212
And the others stand around a
bit longer and wait
00:26:28.212 --> 00:26:30.297
And then there's that moment,
when do you jump?
00:26:30.297 --> 00:26:31.757
When has the right moment come?
00:26:31.757 --> 00:26:33.467
Kairos! As the ancient
Greeks would say
00:26:33.467 --> 00:26:35.052
When do I jump in?
00:26:35.052 --> 00:26:39.264
And declare, the time is now,
the situation is safe
00:26:39.264 --> 00:26:42.643
It's safe enough that I
won't burn myself or drown
00:26:42.643 --> 00:26:44.144
You know, like that
00:26:44.770 --> 00:26:46.772
Yes, and do you think
the moment is right
00:26:48.315 --> 00:26:51.777
Er, um, I think, in your place,
I would go for the risk
00:26:51.777 --> 00:26:53.862
With legal counsel
00:26:53.862 --> 00:26:58.867
I would try to keep my
avatar under my thumb
00:26:59.827 --> 00:27:05.958
Uh... that, whoever has control
00:27:05.958 --> 00:27:07.918
Is managed as strictly
as possible
00:27:07.918 --> 00:27:12.965
And only with someone
who I can charge
00:27:12.965 --> 00:27:18.136
Someone, who is sanctionable,
in case excesses do occur
00:27:19.429 --> 00:27:21.682
I would look into...
00:27:21.682 --> 00:27:28.605
What can be misused and how it
can be prevented,technologically
00:27:28.605 --> 00:27:29.940
And then Lale can-
00:27:29.940 --> 00:27:31.942
Avatar Lale can get going
00:30:05.554 --> 00:30:08.306
So, we are going to scan you
in an A-pose
00:30:09.099 --> 00:30:14.312
So, you need to please move your
feet into back corner of the box
00:30:14.938 --> 00:30:18.025
With your heels
in the back corner
00:30:18.984 --> 00:30:20.193
Yes
00:30:20.569 --> 00:30:24.323
And keep your feet parallel
00:30:24.990 --> 00:30:27.284
And then lift your arms
00:30:29.661 --> 00:30:32.706
And spread your fingers
00:30:34.082 --> 00:30:36.335
And look into this camera,
please
00:30:37.294 --> 00:30:39.755
Keep a neutral facial expression
00:30:41.298 --> 00:30:45.510
And we are ready to shoot,
3, 2, 1...
00:30:55.896 --> 00:30:58.732
Please spread your fingers
a bit more
00:30:59.900 --> 00:31:01.943
Lower your arms
00:31:04.488 --> 00:31:07.366
And, 3, 2, 1...
00:31:11.953 --> 00:31:14.748
And bend your elbow a bit
00:31:19.544 --> 00:31:23.048
Look forward.
Lift up your head a bit
00:31:24.925 --> 00:31:27.052
And, 3, 2, 1...
00:31:31.264 --> 00:31:33.225
Okay, thank you
00:31:33.850 --> 00:31:35.394
That was it
00:31:47.239 --> 00:31:51.993
I am David and I am going to
be here, doing some FAC scans
00:31:52.786 --> 00:31:58.875
with you and FAC scans are like
individual expressions that we
00:31:58.875 --> 00:32:03.046
Break down to kind of
reassemble your face in 3D
00:32:03.046 --> 00:32:07.717
And then mix all of
these expressions together later
00:32:07.717 --> 00:32:10.220
on to essentially assemble any
kind of expression that is
00:32:10.220 --> 00:32:12.347
possible for a human to make
on a 3D character
00:32:12.347 --> 00:32:17.686
And so the way we do that is we
take a series of scans with you
00:32:17.686 --> 00:32:19.980
With this scanner that you
are sitting in right now
00:32:19.980 --> 00:32:24.818
And we will ask you to make
different facial expressions
00:32:24.818 --> 00:32:28.446
And the key behind doing each of
these facial expressions is that
00:32:28.446 --> 00:32:32.576
The muscles need to be isolated
as much as possible
00:32:32.576 --> 00:32:37.873
So, for example, when you
do something like a 'jaw open'
00:32:39.249 --> 00:32:41.334
A little bit more open
00:32:41.334 --> 00:32:43.336
Great. And stop!
00:32:45.046 --> 00:32:47.549
One time in there, there was a
little bit of a smile that came
00:32:47.549 --> 00:32:49.926
towards the end of the
expression
00:32:49.926 --> 00:32:56.308
Yes, perfect, it's a very
isolated facial expression.
00:32:56.308 --> 00:33:01.938
When we go to the rest of these,
just try to be very aware of
00:33:01.938 --> 00:33:08.945
The muscles in your face
and how isolated they are
00:33:08.945 --> 00:33:12.657
So we can make the most
precise expression possible
00:33:13.450 --> 00:33:18.121
So, I guess we'll start this
off with just the neutral
00:33:18.121 --> 00:33:23.376
And when you do the neutral,
you need to...
00:33:23.376 --> 00:33:25.212
Just like that
00:33:25.212 --> 00:33:27.214
Just keep your teeth together
00:33:27.964 --> 00:33:29.966
And relax the rest of your face
00:33:30.300 --> 00:33:32.302
Okay, that looks good.
And shoot!
00:33:35.055 --> 00:33:36.223
Fantastic
00:33:39.976 --> 00:33:41.728
What that is, you...
00:33:42.229 --> 00:33:44.147
Yeah, but you want to keep
your teeth together
00:33:44.147 --> 00:33:46.816
And you're just
sliding them...
00:33:46.816 --> 00:33:48.693
Perfect, and shoot
00:33:51.279 --> 00:33:52.155
Great
00:33:52.155 --> 00:33:56.493
And then, there's ah...
we'll try the 'funneler'
00:33:57.035 --> 00:33:59.996
Which is, like this
00:34:01.081 --> 00:34:01.915
Perfect
00:34:02.499 --> 00:34:05.627
And... And shoot!
00:34:07.295 --> 00:34:08.129
Great
00:34:08.129 --> 00:34:12.801
Then there's one we call
the 'funneler-pucker-combo'
00:34:13.385 --> 00:34:16.096
which translates to,
like a kiss-shape
00:34:18.848 --> 00:34:20.141
Great, and shoot!
00:34:21.893 --> 00:34:23.186
Fantastic
00:34:23.520 --> 00:34:29.192
And then we'll also do
the 'nose-wrinkler', which is...
00:34:31.570 --> 00:34:33.655
But you... yeeeep, wait
00:34:34.364 --> 00:34:36.491
Try to relax your mouth a
bit more when you do it
00:34:36.491 --> 00:34:39.703
and really just, feel the
muscles moving in your nose
00:34:41.371 --> 00:34:43.498
Try it more intense
00:34:43.498 --> 00:34:44.666
And shoot!
