Eye candy: CG Audrey Hepburn advertises Galaxy
If the Uncanny Valley frightens you, this is going to freak you out – although in a good way. Audrey Hepburn was recently resurrected by VFX studio Framestore to sell Galaxy chocolate in a one-minute UK ad.
Though her movements still come off as very mechanical, it is hard to deny that this is still a great recreation of one of my favorite actresses. Whether or not we will be seeing Hepburn, Clark Gable, or James Dean star in any more full-length features remains to be seen, but this is certainly a step in the right direction.
