I’m convinced it’s exactly this that will finally take Deepfakes to the other side of the uncanny valley.

I hadn’t thought of it before, but yeah, this really is a big part of what gets lost in transferring faces that makes them seem “off,” and this is the sort of thing that never seems to be considered. I had some OMG moments watching this - I suspect some of these impressions would have been identifiable without labels or movie quotes, just based on video of her mouth.

Any of the Jim Meskimen bits with Deepfake face replacements seem to look almost perfect, because—like this young woman—Jim Meskimen is an impressionist who gets the facial expressions and mouth shapes right, not (just) an actor who sort of looks like the person being Deepfaked.
