    I finally figured out why she looks so creepy to me... She's using "beauty" enhancements when she recorded this... Nearly every Samsung device has it and I was told iPhones too. Enlarged eyes at maximum setting and maximum slimming/weight loss setting (notice how the mouth and cheeks really distort as the camera goes to a higher angle.
    Methinks she's had a LOT of practice...

    "Uncanny Valley"?

    We all know what a human looks like, and our brain can us tell if something is not wrong with it.

    The effect sometimes acures when for example you see a artificial human face. For example an animatronic or a cgi one. But you see something is off. That difference is what some people make feel uncomfortable.

    That's also the reason why Pixar for example never goes for realism when modeling human faces.

    Gotcha... but I suspect that valley is getting filled and won't be there soon... probably within my own lifetime. Studying in the tech sector means I see a LOT of tech developments and human replication is a BIG moneymaker. One of the spearheading groups of this is actually Disney. They're animatronics are getting to the point where it actually seems real.

    Ironically, the most notable for realism is the Na'avi Shaman from the Avatar ride. Although a fictional character, her construction and controls are advanced enough to very effectively mimic real motion, including the facial structure. Her head along contains over 40 points of animation and creates a VERY realistic effect.

    Some of the tech made it into the Meet the President show for President Trump. It's getting quite believable.

    And from what I understand, Disney is developing an even better one... I can't wait to see it.

    But back to girls and bananas:

    I hope that this is a cultural "tradition". I wonder what country is this? Do the bridemaids have to participate too? On the new husband? The groomsmen? Or both?
