Annaisette & Millisande Say Thanks - Themselves!

OK,
So this was harder than I thought it would be, and I ended up having less time then I would have liked to complete this little "experimental production". Sorry it took so long.
The Video is aprox. 3 minutes, and looks best if you select 720p HD on a PC or Mac, and can be viewed on iPad as well.
Sooo many different pieces of software needed to be used. Everything from Chroma keying the shots for the background, templating the dolls for pupeteering, synchronizing the vocal audio for both actors, editing the video, yikes! I had to stop "tweaking" so many times, or it would never get finished!
Probably the hardest was building the English vocabulary for the French synthetic voice. It was like trying to teach a dumb robot a new language - every single word had to be rebuilt - phonetically!
I hope everyone can understand the dolls speech, as the technology and my tinkering with it are far from perfect. But I just thought the French accent added so much to the personality, that I couldn't let go!
It was all very rewarding to me to see them come to life a bit, and I hope you enjoy the verbal feedback from the "girls" themselves, instead of me just saying "thanks" in a text reply.
Now on to see if I can get them to pole dance...
Ha!
