Funnily enough, I think this technology would be better demoed by people doing more natural motions like walking around and doing basic gestures, or dancing in a style that is more fluid. This type of dancing is made to look intentionally "unnatural" (ie: you rarely see people moving like this in your daily life), which makes it a bit difficult to tell how much of the strangeness/unanny-ness comes from the dancing style vs imprecision in the algorithm.

That might be intentional. We're used to seeing people walk, so it would be easy to point out flaws in transformed video of people walking. With the unusual movements, we attribute it to the moves because we're not used to seeing them.
I would like to see the moon walk of MJ :)
