"But Can She Cook?"

So animation is pretty cool. 'Cept there's just one little problem, animating humans, especially their faces, is extremely time consuming and tricky. It can take days or even weeks to animate simple facial movements, and not have them come out looking stiffer than a board. ImageMetrics is hoping to fix that with their new technology, called LifeLike animation (which coincidentally is one of the most creative names I've heard of). Check out the video after the break. It's not perfect, but it's pretty close.
