Wow, those are some pretty impressive renders. Have you seen Final Flight of the Osiris or Final Fantasy: Spirits Within? Both are pretty impressive in their renderings of characters. At moments during each movie, I had to stop and remind myself that they were CG characters and not real people.

I know certain directors are pushing heavily for replacing human actors with CG elements (Lucas, for one), but I think the cost is still prohibitive. But as costs go down, we'll see more and more of this happening.

This short looks well done, I'd be interested in seeing the way these characters are animated.

You're right about this topic not fitting in many forums. This could easily go under artwork, entertainment, or even philosophy (for discussions on the Uncanny Valley). Anyhow, thanks for posting this.
