yeah, but if you didn't know, you'd probably pass it off as waaaay too much makeup.

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.

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.....

lips are too plastic and the hair doesn't look real. Otherwise it looks ok

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.
