ConAgra revives Redenbacher for popcorn ads
ConAgra revives Redenbacher for popcorn ads - USATODAY.com
I must admit that I found it a bit creepy recently when I saw a TV commercial, where a figure came on, in the midst of a group of people, and announced ... "I am Orvil Redenbacher .." ... creepy, because I knew immediately that Orvil Redenbacher died 11 years ago, and also because I recognized the odd-looking figure was a CG creation, standing between real actors.
This was a trip into the "Uncanny Valley" and might have been better served as a animated cartoon. The synthesis isn't quite there yet, and the non-human-ness of the character, is a bit too much to take.
Having said that ... I really look forward to the day when "good" CG animations of deceased actors and historic figures make their way into film. I would thouroughly enjoy seeing a tastefully done new sitcom featuring Lucile Ball, in current surroundings.
More HERE and HERE and HERE and HERE.
And Remember ... Just because you're dead ---
... doesn't mean you shouldn't be doing new commercials --------- :-/
