lip model
a while ago a coworker captured the lip motion of a newly hired woman speaking. he made a very simple model of a flesh colored tube which he drove with the captured data. just to see how good this simple technique would work at simulating a speaking mouth. it worked. sorta. it looked for all the world like a talking vagina. i could barely remind myself i was at work and certain things were not acceptable. most of the guys ignored me. john told me i could stop now. anywho, the kicker is i sat next to her at company lunch. now, she's a very sweet and social person. we chatted. oh boy. let me just say that every conversational exchange was an exercise in self control. the #1 rule in this business is never let yourself be motion captured.
