If this Episode was this static and without purpose for the general viewing public, as we also to assume that we should simply be happy that we didn't witness the first two Episodes?

TO be quite honest, I'm glad I skipped through the video timeline, otherwise I would have wasted my entire 13 minutes of my life instead of about 13 seconds.

Those melodic sounding piano sounds were without purpose in that static "episode".

(With apologies to my grandma who always cautioned us as children about not saying anything if we had nothing nice to say). Most feel that if ya don't tell them, they'll never know.

We certainly hope that Mr. Hanson is OK with using his name and visual content as well. Hate to see you get in trouble.

Never heard of an educational, parody, collage, fan video ever causing an issue. All the same, all original is better.  So,  if you feel you missed something... You'll just have to wait for to see an all original work that applies the feedback and all that was learned.

Sorry we were all so critical 

Fan art and suchlike is fine in my humble opinion if that is what it was - lots of people do it. Your's didn't seem exploitative but I think we were just expecting something that was not there.

Yes, apologies if that was indeed the case but you often seem to spread the moment of what is promised, somewhat thicker than that which is delivered.

It's always easier to claim the obvious after the fact. If you had informed your potential viewers that it was going to be a parody or a static image, I dare say you might have had less viewers.

Original works are usually better received than to use some else's work(s). Almost sense a pattern here...

At any rate best of luck with Episode 4. (and 1 & 2).

Apologies for making it feel an apology was necessary.

Feedback and critiques are welcome and encouraged.

That is the whole point of sharing fan created content.

You are right about that.  The reason for this is that some A.I. research is not easy to deliver.   PC Controlled talking robot heads that mechanically lipsync to text to speech, for example is a lot of fun to research, but it is not easy to deliver.   Maybe that explains why it is more commonly found in fancy research laboratories.

Try rigging a bone system into the female android SVG file above.   Doable definitely.  Not suggesting members here can't do it, but still this is an example of research that is tricky to figure out and deliver on, I think.

BINA48 designed to resemble Bina Aspen, wife of Martine Rothblatt, founder of the Terasem Movement.  This image  is educational.  The red and black wires are power, I think, with the yellow or white wires sending signals to the servos.
