This project's goal was to achieve a truly life-like head. They demonstrated a few different facial expressions, and even managed to tell a story. What makes this model best is the great use of texturing. They were able to get all the correct colors and the reflectivity gives an amazing illusion of skin. I would assume at the beginning where it shows the eye, the skin under it is bump mapped to look that way. In that case, the texture as far as smoothness and contrast in depth is also spot on. The story that this project told was emphasizing the man made theme behind it by saying that this real looking head was actually designed an manipulated by man, which is shown through the puppet. Something to take away from this project is that everything has an impact. What I mean by that is that if there is a blue box sitting off to the side of the camera, regardless of how minimal the apparent effect is, it reflects blue light on the subject. That is only an example, in this project, if they would have left out a few shadows or glares that seemed insignificant when isolated, it would have greatly taken away from the whole project. considering this project is focused on detail, I have included the basics of it on most all of my projects. The creator clearly did well with modeling and texturing their head, and then giving it lifelike and incredibly real movements from his neck joint to the dilation in his eye. I think the only way to improve this project is to add more. It cut off at the base of the neck. I cant find any glaring errors or room for improvement. I cant wait to see stuff like this where it is no longer just a video devoted to showing it off, but it becomes accessible to use in games or movies
