An 18-second video sample from episode three of the BBC history series Son of God. The video is a sample of an animation produced by design team Red Vision, and displays a facial reconstruction created by forensic anthropologist Richard Neave. Neave's reconstruction was based on a skull of a first-century Galilean Semite.

Extracted from episode three of Son of God ("The Final Days", original air date: 15 April 2001, BBC One) using a combination of InterVideo WinDVR and ffmpeg2theora.

Son of God (TV series)

An 18-second clip of a 50-minute episode represents 1⁄167 (0.6%) of the original source. Presented in a scaled-down form of the original 4:3 aspect ratio. The entire frame is used so as not to misrepresent the subject.

Yes, considerably lower than original footage, such that pirating would be impossible. Through encoding, the dimensions of the picture have been scaled down to 384×288 pixels (width × height) and the video bit rate has been reduced to 363kbps. The audio is not relevant to the article, and has therefore been removed.

During promotion of the 2001 BBC series Son of God, considerable promotion was placed on a computer-generated animation of a facial reconstruction presented during the third episode. Several major news outlets, such as The Guardian, The Daily Mail and Radio Times, placed considerable emphasis on the reconstruction during their review of the series. This promotion and review of Son of God is discussed significantly in the article, therefore it is necessary to display the video so that it can be fully understood by the reader.

The article also discusses in detail the method through with the animation was produced, therefore additional worth can be added there. The video shows a CGI model of a face constructed using forensic anthropology of a first-century Galilean Semite. It clearly displays the front of the face, and both the left and right sides. As the method by which the model was created is discussed significantly in the article, it is necessary for the reader to see the finished result. A single frame would not suffice, as it would not be possible to see the front, left- and right-hand sides of the face.

This video shows a CGI model of a face constructed using forensic anthropology of a first-century Galilean Semite. It clearly displays the front of the face, and both the left and right sides. The method by which the model was created is discussed significantly in the article, so it is necessary for the reader to see the finished result. The model is the closest that current science can give us of what race Jesus Christ would have had, so it is therefore of significant importance to this particular article.
