    Not Audrey Hepburn-it's a computer graphic!

    That's not cleverly re-used captures. According to Cinefex Audrey Hepburn's face was completely re-created in the computer and matted onto the body of an actress:

    "In today’s Cinefex blog, Graham Edwards considers “the edge of what’s possible” with a look at some stunning 3D modeling by Framestore for a Galaxy chocolate commercial — and speculates on a possible future for the art.

      Impressive, but she does look a little artificial. You can definitely tell in the profile.

        I thought the eye-blinking was a clue. Something to clockwork about it.

            Pretty cool - but yeah, "clockwork" is a fantastic term. It's also low res here, so I would think that should be working in it's favor, I would think.

              Wow. At least they gave her a credit (small print at the very beginning) in Terminator Salvation when they did that with Arnold's likeness there wasn't even a credit!

                The technology is getting better but still looks more like a toon character than a real person. Maybe that was on purpose to give it an unreal dreamlike look? I don't know. I actually find it a little depressing for a couple of reasons. Audrey Hepburn, obviously, couldn't give her consent to be used in the commercial and past generations had icons like her and today's generations have the Kardashians and Cyrus.
                You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...
