Glad that you think so. I felt that it would be eye opening if the western folks could understand these documentaries. After all, they're telling a unique story about doll owners.shadow66 wrote:thank you for posting all this, most kind of you. in a way, it honors those of us that have lost a loved one, and the ones that have gone before us.
Indeed. I wonder if DS's robots actually have sensors in them.BuilderOfCastles wrote:Thank you for the subtitles, its almost like understanding Chinese.
About the robotic head.
What i find most difficult, even more than getting the animatronics to look good, is the situational awareness that is needed to make use of it.
The eyes need to track to movement.
Else... she just stares off into space... and then stares off into another space.
and, every once in a while, she winks... at nothing?
So, right now, i would find a robotic head to be more of a distraction, and something that would break me out of the story/mood/suspension of disbelief, than it would be a help.
Those clowns over in Saudi Arabia cheated hugely to get that puppet to look like it was responding.
All that work, and they still needed a technician to tell the puppet when to reply.
In this episode (part 1), we explore a married doll owner's life with his Wife, Daughter and Doll.
