This is a video response based on algorithms and the uncanny valley effect. This video uses 3D technology for scene modelling and animation, followed by compositing layers in After Effects. The subject of the video is the impact of algorithms on individual lives. With the rapid development of AI technology, the existence of algorithms can be seen everywhere. This change in life is impossible to ignore and terrifying. Therefore, in my work, I use the human head model, which can not be seen clearly, as the embodiment of the concept of "algorithm." Then, I added unnatural human figure movement to mimic the algorithm’s delicate and poorly executed parts. Then I exported the part of the animation routing mode, including the human rig and light board. Finally, using blending mode to composite it on the original image to express the iteration and learning of the algorithm.
