Interesting SLATE article that discusses why realistic CG humans often look creepy in video games. What the author is saying could also be applied to a lot of computer animated movies and TV shows being produced nowadays.

  • COMMENT OF THE MOMENT

    "I remember when Ward and the guys would practice at lunch hour. And yes, I mean in the Animation Building where their sounds filled the hallways. Boy, you really felt you worked at a cartoon studio back in those days. Damn! I miss the days when the animation business used to be fun."
    – Floyd Norman
