[FRIAM] exploiting the uncanny valley...

[Steve Smith]

I wonder how much lead time went into making this series of fakes
wandering the uncanny valley between shallow and deep fake?

This class of "magic" will be for the current children growing up what
the elders here experienced with the classic production of Wizard of Oz
when it shifted abruptly from BW to Technicolor as Dorothy emerged from
her Tornado-House in Oz.   Or perhaps the well executed insertion of
Forrest Gump into various bits of historical footage from the 60's
(auspiciously his speech at the DC Mall during the Vietnam Protests). 
Or perhaps the Toy Story experience as a feature 3D animated movie.   Or
maybe the integration of live and 2D/3D animation in Roger Rabbit or
Howard the Duck <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2mz3oytpugs>.  

All *exploiting* the uncanny valley whilst exploring it.
