Digital Albert Einstein, a case study
Volker Helzle, Kai Goetz · 2018
We present the production process for a series of short films featuring a digital actor with the likeness of Albert Einstein. The results are an artistic interpretation of Albert Einstein reappearing in contemporary context citing some of his famous quotes. This homage to the physicist and humanist further investigates how documentary film formats can extend their horizon by meaningful inclusion of digital actors. The creation process relied on a set of specialized tools which reduced the labor effort significantly. Digital assets have been released under Creative Commons to support the ongoing effort in creating convincing digital characters.
