AKB48's Eguchi Aimi - Drunk Monk - 06-28-2011
I just gotta post this here. Japan bubblegum pop has created a digital mix starlet. They didn't tell their fans Eguchi was a CG creation until recently.
Here's Eguchi, slinging candy.

Imagine if DEVO had this technology back in the day.

This was also the theme of a science fiction book from about twenty, maybe twenty five years ago . . . .

I need a phaser. Where's my damn phaser.

A "making of" for that commercial? I don't get it. What was supposed to be tricky about it? Shooting one girl a bunch of different ways and comping stuff together? Greg could do that in Photoshop.
Favorite part: Glico!

I could? Time to got start my own girl group. Unfortunately most of the girls will look members of the brotherhood.
We could create a digital mix DOOM brother! - Drunk Monk - 06-29-2011
We could use him to sell.....donuts!
Wait...wasn't this the plot to Frankenhooker?
Close - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 06-29-2011
Frankenweenie.
It only gets weirder - Drunk Monk - 06-29-2011
AKB48 is said to currently hold the Guinness World Record for being the pop group with the greatest number of members, which fluctuates but is usually around 48.
Also, allow me to introduce you all to Hatsune Miku, Japan's hologram pop star.

Dayum, I wish I could make this stuff up. Japan rocks!
Holy cats, Greg! Miku is coming to you this weekend!!! - Drunk Monk - 06-29-2011
It's sold out, but you so gotta go!
Quote:Hatsune Mikuhttp://www.anime-expo.org/guests/ax2011-guests/hatsune-miku/
A digital diva famous worldwide for her ankle-length aqua-colored pigtails and distinctive voice, Hatsune Miku will light up the stage at Nokia Theater on July 2nd in her U.S. live concert debut presented by The Society for the Promotion of Japanese Animation, Crypton Future Media, Inc., SEGA Corporation, Tokyo Kawaii Magazine (ASCII Media Works) and Toyota Motor Sales, USA.
Created by Crypton Future Media, Inc. in 2007, Hatsune Miku’s voice is synthesized using Yamaha’s VOCALOID (= Vocal + Android) software application, to produce a fully synthetic voice with unprecedented quality and remarkable realism by typing in lyrics and setting a melody. To date, her voice has been featured in more than 100,000 songs and videos created and shared by fans worldwide. She has been sampled in CDs, DVDs, games, novels, and figures and her sell-out, computer-graphic-driven live performances have become legendary. Attesting to her unique star power, Toyota selected Hatsune Miku to star in a U.S. ad campaign for the 2011 Corolla.

It only requires one thing - Greg_phpbb3_import1 - 06-29-2011
Press Pass . . .
hustle it, bro, hustle it - Drunk Monk - 06-29-2011
I cannot think of a way to justify this for KFM. Surely you can sell it to some other publication? Or at least you can bluff it.
I would envy you if you got a pic with Hatsune. Wait...oh never mind.
