Check out the clip of Emily.  You can tell it's CGI, but god damn it is a really well-done video.  The little mannerisms she has really makes her seem more realistic.

I posted this already! I'd like to see this done without actors, though.

Aww crap, sorry Dennis.

And yeah I agree, JC.  With that kind of technology we are getting into Running Man-type scenarios where you can get a mo-cap actor to do something then play it back using a high-detail model of whoever you want it to look like.  Add a bit of graininess and cinematographic black magic to make it look like it was shot surreptitiously on a handicam or a mobile phone or a security camera and ba-boom, you've got yourself a scandal-maker.

Examples include the President's face on someone having sex in hotel security cam footage, as you've already suggested: someone close to someone in power saying something very very bad politically, or oh hey - perhaps the leader of another country saying they declare war the US.

I predict a rise in the number of "video analysis experts".

Replacing things in video in a fairly believable fashion using photos.
