The Uncanny Valley: An extra one:Early CGI Facial Animation (1974)
I just recently watched a video depicting an early form of CGI made back in the 1970s. apart from it being really interesting historically speaking, it also was incredibly frightening. The face itself was going through test motions and trying to convey forms of emotion, but it came off as extremely unnatural. Then after the beginning sequence they animate it saying something in a creepily recorded voice. The lip syncing is primitive at best, but this was 1974, so I'm amazed that they could actually make something like this.
