I’m perhaps reluctant to share this guilty pleasure with the community, but the combination of tech and innovation has me wanting to see how many here have seen it too…
Synopsis
Hosted by, perhaps 4 b list artists, the premise of the show is to transform a singer (and some aren’t all that great…) into a computer generated avatar. The contestant has input into look and features, and the earlier shows detail out that collab…
Contestants go head to head, and the one with least votes gets the boot at the end of the show…
It’s kinda like the voice in that the judges don’t see the real person at first.
It’s geeky in that the artists use a motion capture suit to translate movement to the avatar. It’s quite rough at this point, but I’m sure subsequent seasons will show great improvement…
Alas, soooo much reading… here is a clip from fox on one of the singers the other night… no doubt some talent to be witnessed…
Again, like the voice, really goes to show how much the music industry is driven by image and not necessarily talent…
Have you seen Alter Ego? What do you think of artists using a computer avatar to perform?
Did you have a favorite? I do like seven and embers.
