Amazingly realistic CGI rendering

Teeth and hair being ignored - it just LOOKS like CGI. I can't tell you why, I'm not sure.

I suspect that it has something to do with symmetry and perfection. I think most CG artists would do good to go through film school for about a year, they really need to learn how things blur during artsy shots, I've never seen it done convincingly in CG, and it's a dead giveaway. Lighting also tends to be too harsh - natural light is not a spot lamp 3 feet away, and a spot lamp 3 feet away doesn't look like that anyway.

I'm not sure how to put this, but in CG, the lighting seems to emphasize reflection off surfaces rather than lighting over surfaces and shading. Nothing seems to create a shadow.

It just has a general wrongness to it.

Y'all are full of crap. I'd never in a million years suspect this was CGI unless I was told.

have to agree there...only after longer looking (teeth/lips) and the flawless moving hair its obvious. But NEVER would i've guessed its rendered if i had not known.....

I guess the lips look a little off, but still incredible work IMO.

I can tell in the way things in the field of view move to simulate camera movement. I olny watched it 3 times and each time i saw this more and more.
