How cool is it? Well, with the push of a button, I can deliver this talk as a completely different character. This is Elbor. We put him together to test how this would work with a different appearance. And the cool thing about this technology is that, while I've changed my character, the performance is still all me.

It's pretty obvious, right? I mean, this is going to be really neat to have. But also, now that we've built it, it's clear that this is going to go way beyond film.
