DOUBLE - A CG animated short featuring Neil Newbon 

I'm simple. I see Neil Newbons Name in the title - I click the video.

It still took me 30 seconds to realize that this was motion caption. It's kind of terrifying how fast is technology evolving these days.

Amazing work, and excellent casting! Can’t think of anyone more fitting to represent the artistry of full performance capture! 🙏

Whenever Neil is in CG form, I still always see Kamski in him. Imagine a DBH2 with this level of detail for Kamski now.

Wow the cgi is flawless! Capturing every detail of not just the mouth and face expression but the lines and wrinkles of the actor’s face as he talks and moves! I can’t wait to see it more in future projects!

That was so realistic. Like I almost thought it was actually him until I realized it was CGI. My goodness how far we have come with technology these days that it can almost fool the human eye.

This is really well made, but I don't understand people saying they couldn't tell it was cgi, considering it still gives uncanny valley vibes lol

Amazing! And getting Neil to be involved was perfect, considering how much a part of his life performance capture is!

That is some impressive CGI work, holy moly! Took me some time to convince my brain that it wasn't just live Neil Newbon footage...

so glad Neil was a part of this project! he's very suited for it.

Incredible! The possibilities with this are endless. This can go fad beyond the gaming world and movies. And to have Neil Newbon feature in it is brilliant👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Beautifully done! It took a moment to notice the CG, but it's still always the eyes that give it away first. But Holy Heckin Holly has technology advanced enough to do this and so wonderfully realistically, too. Between the motion capture studios and Boston Dynamics, I'm cautiously optimistic about the future.

gosh.. I got goosebumps. This is... incredible. Can't wait to see more in future project!

Took this 30-something's brain a second to realize this isn't Neil.... nicely done because the uncanny valley distortion wasn't bad at all for me! (It's subjective for everyone, just wanted to share my experience) Love technology

damn, mr. Neil is so good at going these deep monologues

This is So realistic, The texture and the details are great. I love to see such Presentation trailers, that can bring out and reflect the soul of the actor

This is so cool. Neil is awesome too, glad you picked him for this.

Gods this looks so positively AMAZIIIINGGGG!!! THE DETAILS !!! I love you guys picked Neil, he's really one of the best one is the industry.

This is the future of story-telling. I'd like to see how this will break into media news, telling stories of war and victory. Very timely now that we are hearing the rumbling of war in the near distant future. Crucial tech for crucial scenes. Bravo to the team that developed this tech and the movie-makers. We need more!

This is amazing! You couldn't have picked a better actor for this!😃

I didn’t even realise it was motion caption until I saw the comments it’s done so well

The detail in the performance and in the model work is fantastic! Its beyond impressive well done! Neil did a fantastic job and so did the people behind the scenes!

I was waiting for this! WOW! AMAZING!

I have no idea what was that, I click as I see Neil lol

I'm a simple person: I see Neil Newbon I click.

The level of details and the fluidity of the movements are scary - in a good way. The only thing that gives away that's CGI is the eyeballs when they're in close-up and in full light

Truly amazing. And just adore the soundtrack...

Oh my-! It's incredible! Congratulations to the team for their work. Every part of the video is so flawless, from the moment Neil is CGI to the moment the set is shown, it's so awesome! Neil's acting and speaking are brought out perfectly thanks to technology! Also, excellent casting! Another level has been unlocked with this video! Good job! 👏

Mesmerized.

This is amazing.

Dear lord, imagine this technology for the next Larian games. I'm already drooling and my PC is already overheating.

Wow! This looks phenomenal! Excellent work!

what I imagine Kamski would be getting up to before creating Cyberlife 👀

Gosh, Ive been waiting for this since the first trailer dropped. Amazing work, perfect casting for this, the CG animation is so detailed and rich, also as an animator I am amused by this work, great job!

wowwww omg. i did not realize this was motion capture til i read the comments. scarily cool!

i see Neil and i immediately i get fluster 🙈❤

This level of detail both fascinates and terrifies me. But mostly fascinates. I think.

Inspiring and mesmerizing what the future will hold. 😮🎉

This is incredible! Can't wait to see what the future holds.

I feel disrespectful watching this on the toilet now

Why haven’t more people seen this, this is fucking incredible ❤️❤️

It took me 5 whole minutes to realize this is an animation and not real (I WAS SO CONFUSED)

Uncanny Valley? More like Astarion Ascended! serious though, there was no U.V for me. I suspected it only because of the dialog. Then came to comments to confirm. Great work and great choice of actor. Also I can listen to Mr. Newbon all day.

Abracadaver!

Envelheceram o ator uns 20 anos, e deram olheiras de uma semana sem dormir, mas ainda assim é assustador. Ainda da a sensação de estranhamento. Mas respeito o trabalho e esforço dos envovidos. Neil Newbon é um excelente ator, merece estar atuando no cinema.

This is fascinating, how fast everything is more realistic and how you can representate the facial expressions with so much detail. I'm curious to know how this is gonna advance with years passing. Amazing animated short and amazing work! Greetings frrom Argentina and have a nice week!

This is beautiful. Such a lovely tribute to the acting industry and how important actors are. As someone who wants to become a professional actor, it feels so gratifying to see it all represented like this, and the casting for this is perfect. Neil is an absolute treasure. 🥰

Truly incredible!

Amazing! Sooo real!

Wow, it looks so realistic!!😄❤

THIS IS SO GOOD

very interesting... still very much uncanny valley effect when Neil is head-on, since it doesn't have the benefit of those shadows that are present in the profile view that hide a lot of what looks uncanny. and the eyes and slightly nudged-too-far mouth shapes are also elements I noticed, but I'm an animator so perhaps my eye is more critical of stuff like that.

Gods, absolutely amazing and a little bit creepy, because it is so good. Very very good job!! ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

This is awesome!!

this was sooo gooooood!

So freaking cool

It's pretty cool, but it still LOOKS CG, even if the mocap is pretty damn good. Reminds me of Death Stranding, in a way.

wow

The animation looks fantastic and it's a great showcase for the tech. ...The rendering...I think sometimes less is more. Can't put my finger on it. Maybe too much baked shadow in the texture, too much normal map impact, the shader. The skin looks so detailed, crisp and pronounced it reminded me when 4K TVs came up and everybody wanted more make up. I know, Ten24 can do detail but... holy shit ! :D

They should replace that frigging annoying Nicole Kidman preview they always show at AMC Theaters and replace it with this!! This is gorgeous 😍

Wow 😮

Holy moly 😮❤

Всё ещё жутко. Вот она, зловещая долина! Особенно заметно, когда 1. Ты знаешь, кто такой Нил и как он выглядит 2. Ты прекрасно понимаешь, как работает motion capture и видишь, что это всё - оцифровка. Потому что живой человек двигается более плавно, чем он же, но с датчиками. У Кодзимы (последняя наработка с игрой OD) и Ninja Theory (Senua) сделали это менее криповым. А это студия, что выпустила Quantum Break, если не ошибаюсь? Выходит какая-то жуть. При том, лицо Нила в старой Detroit не выглядит настолько жутко и неестественно. Наверное, потому, что малые различия на грани зловещей долины делают так, будто ты видишь автоматона, куклу, киборга, мертвеца - кого угодно, но не мимику живого человека. У Астариона тоже мимика Нила, но когда ты видишь, что работа Ларианов не перешагнула эту грань живого и виртуального, это не вызывает такого отторжения.

So real! Amazing what thecnology can do in these days ... Everyday we are closer to have this graphics in videogames ( not only in cinemátics)

it's very well done, but there is just that little bit of uncanny valley going on isn't there

Wait this is really cool. It’s so…. Interesting. It’s really Intriguing. This was amazing and had my full attention for the entire thing. Amazing work. ❤

Was this actually done with MoCap, or was it modeled on one of Neil's public speaking events? I'm used to his facial expressions being so much more animated that I clocked the animation faster than I expected I would. The detail is so good.

Hello, great video. The special effects and motion capture are incredible. And the actor is very good! I wanted to know, what was the purpose of these videos? Please ?

It’s always the mouth/teeth that seem a little off in cgi (and hand movement). Maybe I’m being nitpicky but I don’t think this captured his actual teeth, and the way he moved his mouth reminds me of Paul Bettany for some reason, but not really how Neil moves his mouth imo. I also think they went harsh on his complexion 😭 But still cool to see anything with Neil Newbon and cgi and motion capture advances are cool

Ugh i'm in the valley someone get me out!

This reminded me deeply of the movie The Congress. Which is not exactly a good thing 😬

argh

i'm fine with this for use in video games. But do NOT let this replace real flesh and blood people in film and tv.

Voice acting was a 100% but the facial animation was a bit...stiff an uncanny. There is some work to be done with the technology.

That is crazy. This is crazy. and I love that its not corridor crew like ai based. I presume.
