Comic writer and illustrator, Алекса Гајић (Aleksa Gajić) is directing his first animated feature film, Technotise Edit & I, which is based off his own graphic novel.

The story is set in Belgrade in 2074. The main character is Edit, a female psychology student. After her sixth failure at the same university exam, she decides to have the chip installed to help her pass. From that moment, her life changes and unusual things start happening to her.

Some of the scenes have a hand drawn quality to it, while others seem clearly computer generated. But surprisingly, the whole film is indeed CG.


This Image Metrics animation below just knocks my socks off.

Emily—the woman in the below animation—was produced using a new modeling technology that enables the most minute details of a facial expression to be captured and recreated.

    Almost all animation is CG now. Simpsons, South Park, and most anime is done with computers.

    And "Emily", only her face is CG and it's really just a complicated motion capture process, so it's not nearly as impressive as it seems.

    I was going to ask about that, because I read about this a few days ago and the other animation they have on their website isn't nearly as impressive; though it is still not bad.

    Okay, I'm not so sure now, it seems they do have an animatable face rig. Diffuse, spec and normal maps, shape keys.
    I take it you have seen this?
