It's totally the eyes. DeNiro's got his old-man eyes in the original movie, even after de-aging him. The deepfake gives him youthful eyes. That difference is shocking.
Well the blue eyes were originally done to match Sheeran in real life, albeit they were done distractingly poorly. I wish DeNiro just wore color contacts in the film. The deepfake uses images of DeNiro's true eyes so it looks so much more natural.
This is so good; and with this you nailed the concept of younger people versus older people. Faces literally change; you can't just smooth away the wrinkles and call it a day. When he was younger, he had fuller lips, a five o clock shadow, vibrant eyes, a smoother jaw line, etc. You nailed it man, good job.

It’s obvious it looks better, to be fair you had a good starting point, since ILM deagening involved making cgi necks and helped makeups hairline. But it definitely makes you realize that an extra deepfake pass was needed. Amazing, amazing job!!
In most interviews with ILM they note how Scorsese didn't want DeNiro and Pesci to look exactly as they were at the time, but more like they were wearing prosthetic enhancements (this is why Pesci's nose doesn't look like his nose). A weird approach, it's like Scorsese said "we'll never be able to fool them because the audience knows their faces too well", so he decided to just have ILM create new faces that look a lot like the actors, and focus more on making it look like the character is actually there than making it look exactly as the actors were at that age (and properly translating the performance the actor gave).
@@matiful23 Prioritizing performance over believably being younger is an interesting approach. Even in this video, which I think shows that OBVIOUSLY the deepfake is more convincing for aging... there are a number of shots where bits of the performance are changed and it could change how we read the character. Little downturns in the mouth or subtleties around the eyes are less expressive, giving him a more neutral look in the deepfakes. I noticed it @2:20 but now that I look back through it... pretty much every shot reads slightly more neutrally in the deepfake.
@@mcfatty007 It's really noticeable on that scene at the end. He's not doing that thing De Niro does with his mouth in the ILM version. Also, deepfake can't slim down actors on their necks and body - which they did a lot of. Not yet anyways.

If studios are going to continue this trend of de-aging actors, at the very least they could use deepfake tech to study facial features they might’ve missed. To me, the eyes in these clips are the biggest change between the two and are totally what makes the difference between believable and unbelievable.
I mean they just need to pull one of De Niro age stage when he did a movie at age "30" and deepfake it to the timeline of the movie it suppose to be on. He's been on a movie every other year at least.
I remember that some time before the realse of the movie scorsese said he has problem with how the eyes looks, its intersting to know what he thinks about it today
@@lucasdamotta2931 - Yeah, should have waited five years and done it with body doubles and deepfake. I'm honestly interested to see where this tech goes. It'll be interesting to see them do biopics with the actual face of actors. The Beatles biopic would be amazing.
@@715creeks I agree, if we compare jimmy the Gent beating up Billy bats along side Tommy in Goodfellas, there is quite the difference, of course, one would argue it's DeNiro in his late 70's. They should've gotten a double.
@@flaviomelolima Ireland and Italy are European countries. Robert De Niro is of European descent so he passes as both Italian and Irish. What you said makes no sense at all. If Robert De Niro was Asian or African then maybe there would be an issue, but not in this case.
I don't understand why the film industry isn't using deepfakes more often. I mean every time they de-age a celebrity in one of these things, someone inevitably comes out with a deepfake after the fact that looks better than the original. You can't tell me a dude sitting around with some spare time and a 2080Ti has more time and tech available to him than a Hollywood studio. Its crazy.
The reason is simple. Its not good enough yet. I work in vfx and at the time of this film it simply couldnt be used to get an actual good result. Films arent going to use deepfakes until its essentially atleast 95 percent perfect. Also remember that this deepfake was made years after they already started production on this film. At this point the tech is already much more advanced
The thing about the movie is they didn’t de-“age”. They only de-wrinkled. They basically took the equivalent of an airbrush to their faces. De-aging is much more about getting rid of wrinkles. Facial structure changes drastically as one gets older but they completely neglected that.
You should see what they did. They lifted his chin, tightened his cheeks removed the double chin. A lot went into the technology. It's honestly leading innovation, what they're doing.
I love the fact that you seems to really think you know better than ILM visual effect experts and basically anyone who was involved in creating this movie
Br0wnH3s that’s not an argument. ILM doesn’t just get a free pass because they’re experts. Besides, even though they’ve done some great things, the studio also has a long history of mediocre CGI due to technical limitations, budget constraints, time constraints, and even bad decisions. The de-aging is just very poor and not believable at all. It’s a good thing most people just got used to looking past it and were still able enjoy the unreal movie.
@@jakelm4256 get a free pass because they're experts ? what are you talking about ? either they know what they're doing or they don't. secondly there is no such thing as de-aging. You live, you get old, than you die. They probably knows it doesn't look 100% real but they made a choice along with the director in their workflow and were satisfied enough with the result. Or maybe you know something better than ILM and you probably should teach them, maybe they will lend you their free pass or whatever.
Yes the eyes ruined it for me. The ‘blue’ just looked like very old man cataract eyes, not a youthful deep dark eyes he actually had as shown in this deep fake. I Would definitely pay for a fan fix of the whole thing.
I’ve watched this like 50 times now. I beg you, please, release the entire movie. This is absolutely insane how big a difference it is. It allows the movie to be what it is meant to be. Please do it.
I remember a multimedia class I took in college and we discussed realism. It’s hard to fool the human brain because it’s used to seeing certain things in reality and creates a permanent imprint of the visuals. If a studio’s VFX can’t fool the brain, it’s going to look fake. There are many layers of realism to consider and this guy nails what the major studios for years have failed to do. Good work my friend. ✊🏼
Well It's deepfake over cgi younger face. It wouldn't look this good on the De Niro in his 70s. It's looks great but it's just enhancement of what they already did.
Deep faking 2min30 is not the same thing as deep faking 3h. Plus the result is still meh if you look closely. You'd have to add extra man hours into it to manually retweek everything. Which would cost a lot of money.
He is handpicking scenes, they did a full head replacement in that film, not a face replacement. Which means you don't have to worry about consistence, even when he does a 360 turn, you'll have a hard time matching the back of the head to the face correctly in motion without headreplacement That's just the start of why headreplacement is still better.
What if I told you, they mucked it up on purpose? Scorsese answers to people above his paygrade, and while we're distracted by the Irishman's fails, you're not wising up to all the deep fakes you WILL NEVER notice, on Netflix or elsewhere.
Netflix: “Remember all those years ago when we met?” *flashes back to being 65 instead of 75* Deepfake: *actually makes them look like they’re in their 30s*
I couldn’t tell his age either, or how old he was supposed to be. The CGI wasn’t good and I would’ve preferred just younger actors. Like in goodfellas, it’d make the story a lot more immersing.
With all due respect they Could have used a double or a posture man, But no they went with a half paralysed grandpa way. Still loved the movie though. The technical team sucked ass.
Ajax Sid THATS WHAT I SAID!! They could’ve just CGed De Niro’s face over the double. And even the de-aging they used still made De Niro, Pesci and Pacino look like 50-60 year old men lol
This looks ABSOLUTELY incredible. Really, really good work. If Luke had looked this good at the end of The Mandalorian I wouldn’t have been completely taken out of the show at the end. Seriously though, looks exactly like DeNiro in the late 80s/early 90s. Phenomenal.
Even if ILM had nailed the de-aging on the face, they couldn't do anything about the body. When DeNiro is stomping on the guy on the sidewalk, he looks stupid, all hunched over, his arms all curled up against his body like a baby learning to walk. Every time he moves, he's giving away the fact that he's really 77 and not whatever age he's pretending to be. They should've done what Fincher did on Benjamin Button and use appropriate body doubles.
As a huge Scorsese fan, I absolutely cannot believe they sat there and decided “yep, that looks good enough to be in this film”, it completely killed any sort of immersion I had
zombiesingularity surprised nobody at Netflix brought it up, the film would’ve benefited if instead it just cut to a close up of his daughters horrified face while you could hear the beating take place off screen, it was that fucking bad
@@mdavis1992 Dunno if they did, but it would have been good if they had given DeNiro knee and ankle braces to wear. He could popped ibuprofen as well to help him ease any joint pain too and maybe taken up Yoga. One of the reasons Deniro walks like this is probably because of dodgy joints and unsure footing. He didn't need to be doing cart wheels, but he needed to look like he was a bit more sure of himself and his footing. Harrison Ford wouldn't have this problem.
The problem is people know how young DeNiro looks and not how Frank looks. I think it was a wrong choice in the end. This and the old man's body movement took me out of it. If they used a body double with CGI face it might be better.
Your work is legitly better quality than the actual movie. Deniro's age looks a bit inconsistent in different scenes, but most of your work is Top notch.
of course the deepfake isn't perfect, but it's very convincing. But just imagine how it's going to be improved in the next 5 years or so (or even less)
The face too. With the age rhe facial structures changes, the nose and ears became bigger and skin flabby, they forgott all this details and just focus on the wrinkles.

i wonder about that. who owns the rights to update the film? is it even possible? i mean, they have all that facial data somewhere. that would be incredible. the movie is fantastic and i think it deserves it
@@damienscott6561 they just need to redo it with a different actor with the deep fake. Ridley Scott did few visual tweaks in the new release of blade runner.
It’s one of the very extremely minor issues I’m sure we all had with the film, Scorsese nailed almost every aspect but the CGI face. At least it wasn’t as bad as justice league superman lip.
Tim2049 I’ve seen worse. I still got chills watching that scene a bit, but i understand what you mean. it looked like he wasn’t even touching him lmao.
To be fair, what we’re seeing isn’t a contest, it’s a de-aging deepfake layered on top of an already de-aged DeNiro. The deepfakes wouldn’t look that good without the CGI.
They are not using because it cant produce 8K image. Calculations takes too much time and you need to do lots of compositing to fix errors. Deep Fake is good for low quality work not production.
Absolutely incredible. He actually looks like a young de Niro. The Irishman is a great movie but I couldn't get immersed in it because it was always old de Niro no matter the age they were trying to depict. I think the other issue is that de Niro moves like an old man, and that's something that you can't fix.
Definitely looks more like younger De Niro however I believe the idea was to make De Niro look more like the real version of Frank Sheeran and not like himself. Great work nonetheless.
Yeah but they missed the ball. If they wanted to give him fake contacts; they still could of. The point is; when they made him de-age into his supposed 20's and 30's he still looked 70.
Absolutely stunning work... or training. Looks completely convincing and makes the actual movie look like they used a lookalike actor in place of Deniro. Yours looks like actual young Deniro. I can't believe professional movie studios aren't using this tech yet for de-aging. They should honestly pay you to just redo all those scenes and re-release the movie. It really looks that much better. Seriously, great work! You have the best DeepFake algorithm I've seen to date!

@José Menendéz I have no problem enjoying simple things, and I enjoyed this movie. But it wasn't all that great. Maybe Scorsese's 7th or 8th best movie.
@@ManuTheGreat79 It can be fixed, through mocapping. Get an actor whose body resembles a younger DeNiro and then stick this deep faked face on him. Voila.
I think it was Jeremy Jahns that said that how he saw the de aging in The Irishman was that it was making the character look younger, not Deniro. He compared it to Ant Man where in that, they make Michael Douglas look like how he did in one of his older movies, but in the Irishman, it's making the character Deniro is playing, look like a younger version of that character. So, I think Scorsese was going about this much differently than what can be done in a deepfake. Plus, your deepfake is much easier to do because of the effects already in the movie, I imagine it wouldn't be as seamless if you were deepfaking Deniro on his own.
True! But the biggest problem in the original is his mouth! :D The shape of it, the moving.. it's clearly an old man's mouth. That's why it's so bad. It's worse than some coloring mistake :(
The Irishman was a good film, only thing that partly ruined the experience was how weird the deaged DeNiro looked. This video is proof Hollywood should use Deepfake going forward.
@@cheezyfilmsproductions1842 yeah, they say that blah blah blah, then how come Pacino looks nothing like Hoffa and actually looks like a Donnie Brasco era Pacino?
@@GetToDaChoppa-k5r He's not the main character. They wanted to capture something with DeNiro that called for him to not look like himself -- I mean they went so far as to digitally change his eye color for the entire film. They obviously didn't want him to look exactly like a young DeNiro. Clearly they didn't have that same goal with other characters. You approach characters in a film on a case by case basis, not as a collective.
What's wrong the title 'The Irishman'? Personally, Al Pacino's and Joe Pesci's de-aging looked fine, but maybe the Deepfake versions would make it better.
Regardless of how relatively cheap it would be compared to the million-dollar VFX, the deepfakes wouldn't look this good without it. You can't have someone put a cherry on top of a sundae, and have the comments be like, "make a movie with the cherry instead".
The problem with the Netflix version was always the coloring of Deniro's eyes. His character was supposed to have blue eyes but instead of just using contacts they digitally colored his eyes blue. The lighting of the eyes was always off, usually too bright blue and glowing for the scene.
This is superb! Truly amazing, I wish we could see a full film with this alteration! One tiny food for thought perhaps: at 1:17 The Younger DeNiro looks more smug/amused like he would in Goodfellas or Casino etc but this was a serious conversation Frank was having with the mafia bosses, he wouldn't appear as relaxed or at ease. This might be due to the available footage training the software?
Honestly with this technology the movie would have been completely different, i could not appreciate it as much as I wanted because of the strange de niro's face without much expression and this weird aspect of not old, not young. You should contact Scorsese and show him this stuff, after all he works now for his legacy, and the irishman could be better technically.
This is by far your best work and also i think, the best work of deep fake there is out there. Its bizarre how good it looks and how it makes us believe its a young De Niro.
Fascinating! Especially if we take into account how much it cost and what amount of time it took to de-age the actors in THE IRISHMAN. Now one really talented guy can do it at his home computer and make it look even better in many parts. Hats off! :-) greetings from germany
It's really impressive. Part of me wonders if the weird sleepy vibe the original gives RDN is deliberate though - he seems too quick and intelligent now. Frank Sheeran was a docile, thoughtless sociopath who did whatever he was told without any sense of want or ambition, and those dull eyes really contribute to that.
Yes, it looks amazing, just like young De Niro. But that is not the role here people…yes it looks more like De Niro but he is playing Frank Sheeran this movie and not the role of himself…

Yeah, but that wouldn't really fit here since Frank Sheeran is supposed to be a tough and muscular guy. Which this Deepfake De Niro fits perfectly.
You all are unbelievable. It's an AI filter. This guy didn't do anything. You all are praising him while insultingly ignoring the ACTUAL work put by people who worked on these scenes.
@@gamerdude4465 You don't get credit for work, only results. And this result looks better than what's in the film. I wasn't praising the guy either, I was praising the effect itself. Let me tell you something mate, envy is the only sin which gives no pleasure.
If studios are going to continue this trend of de-aging actors, at the very least they could use deepfake tech to study facial features they might’ve missed.
To me, the eyes in these clips are the biggest change between the two and are totally what makes the difference between believable and unbelievable.
The eyes don't lie. Throughout the movie it was hard to ignore the strange eyes the 'young' CGI faces had...
I mean they just need to pull one of De Niro age stage when he did a movie at age "30" and deepfake it to the timeline of the movie it suppose to be on. He's been on a movie every other year at least.
I concur
To be fair, the character has blue eyes in the movie.
I remember that some time before the realse of the movie scorsese said he has problem with how the eyes looks, its intersting to know what he thinks about it today
This "young" Deniro in the original film was soooo weird. THIS. IS. PERFECT.
The DE-AGING cgi effect STILL makes Deniro look old.
DeepFake needs to be the new normal for de-aging actors. My God.
Maybe both?
Without the cgi effect deepfake will have a harder time masking those shaggy skin physics.
Incredible. Now if there was only a way to stop Bobby looking like a Geriatric when he beats the shop owner

@@lucasdamotta2931 - Yeah, should have waited five years and done it with body doubles and deepfake. I'm honestly interested to see where this tech goes.

De Niro looks bloated in the IrishMan. the deepfake one makes him look like I remember him in Goodfellas
Totally agree
Yeah, he looks bloated, because his character look was like that. He wasn't slim like De Niro was in his 40s and 50s.
Agreed. The Netflix version looks like de-aged and also dying of severe alcoholism.
Also, he looks so awkward beating up a dude in his 40s on a street corner. Should’ve got a body double or shot it differently
@@715creeks I agree, if we compare jimmy the Gent beating up Billy bats along side Tommy in Goodfellas, there is quite the difference, of course, one would argue it's DeNiro in his late 70's. They should've gotten a double.

Deepfake De Niro gives me Untouchables De Niro vibes too
Feels like I’m watching Jimmy Conway. Prime years

He's not supposed to look like young DeNiro, he's supposed to look like young Frank Sheeran.
nah he looks exactly like he did in goodfellas
@Spiros Pa i'm thinking the Untouchables
No, cause he’s supposed to look like an irish not a random young italian guy.
@@flaviomelolima Ireland and Italy are European countries. Robert De Niro is of European descent so he passes as both Italian and Irish. What you said makes no sense at all. If Robert De Niro was Asian or African then maybe there would be an issue, but not in this case.
I don't understand why the film industry isn't using deepfakes more often. I mean every time they de-age a celebrity in one of these things, someone inevitably comes out with a deepfake after the fact that looks better than the original. You can't tell me a dude sitting around with some spare time and a 2080Ti has more time and tech available to him than a Hollywood studio. Its crazy.
@Esther Sparrow It's because the technology isn't perfect yet. Simple as that.
@Esther Sparrow Don't think the Irishman is a good example of that, it's a very good movie
It's actually crazy how better this looks in comparison
The reason is simple. Its not good enough yet. I work in vfx and at the time of this film it simply couldnt be used to get an actual good result.
Films arent going to use deepfakes until its essentially atleast 95 percent perfect. Also remember that this deepfake was made years after they already started production on this film. At this point the tech is already much more advanced
One of the reason is that it will make many people unemployed.
The thing about the movie is they didn’t de-“age”. They only de-wrinkled. They basically took the equivalent of an airbrush to their faces. De-aging is much more about getting rid of wrinkles. Facial structure changes drastically as one gets older but they completely neglected that.
True!
You should see what they did. They lifted his chin, tightened his cheeks removed the double chin. A lot went into the technology. It's honestly leading innovation, what they're doing.
I love the fact that you seems to really think you know better than ILM visual effect experts and basically anyone who was involved in creating this movie
Br0wnH3s that’s not an argument. ILM doesn’t just get a free pass because they’re experts. Besides, even though they’ve done some great things, the studio also has a long history of mediocre CGI due to technical limitations, budget constraints, time constraints, and even bad decisions. The de-aging is just very poor and not believable at all. It’s a good thing most people just got used to looking past it and were still able enjoy the unreal movie.
@@jakelm4256 get a free pass because they're experts ? what are you talking about ? either they know what they're doing or they don't. secondly there is no such thing as de-aging. You live, you get old, than you die. They probably knows it doesn't look 100% real but they made a choice along with the director in their workflow and were satisfied enough with the result. Or maybe you know something better than ILM and you probably should teach them, maybe they will lend you their free pass or whatever.
The Eyes looks much better. I hated De Niro's Eyes in the Netflix version.
I think the problem was they made his eyes blue to convince us Frank was Irish
Yeah, his eyes looked droopy and washed out in the Netflix version. In this it's like Bobby from the 90s era
@@domenicofolino8289 his top eye lids are sagged, i mean he is old now.
sure they look more realistic to the actor, but the whole reason was that Frank HAD blue eyes and was IRISH!
It was a stylistic choice, but I agree. We don't need Bob to look just like Frank, just make him young again and make it look like young DeNiro.
Really big difference in the eyes and the overall "frowny" expression he has in the original clips. Amazing!
Yes the mouth area is where the age was very visible.
Stronger chin, too
Yes the eyes ruined it for me. The ‘blue’ just looked like very old man cataract eyes, not a youthful deep dark eyes he actually had as shown in this deep fake. I Would definitely pay for a fan fix of the whole thing.

This movie needs a deepfake reboot clearly
That what i was thinking too
Imagine if a Modder make by himself or remaster the movie in deepFake what bless
Someone should show this to Martin Scorsese so he can make a directors cut.
What they showed in Netflix was already THE director's cut.
No directors cuts with Scorsese
Definitely should
More like little corrections. The movie is already a director's cut.
He never was supposed to look like young Robert De Niro.
I remember a multimedia class I took in college and we discussed realism. It’s hard to fool the human brain because it’s used to seeing certain things in reality and creates a permanent imprint of the visuals. If a studio’s VFX can’t fool the brain, it’s going to look fake. There are many layers of realism to consider and this guy nails what the major studios for years have failed to do. Good work my friend. ✊🏼
I'll say it again... THIS is how it SHOULD be done!!!
Well It's deepfake over cgi younger face. It wouldn't look this good on the De Niro in his 70s. It's looks great but it's just enhancement of what they already did.
Morcorco so if it’s de aging + deep fake they could still start doing this to movies before they are released
@@Morcorco - Thing is, the Deep Fake would still work over DeNiro's 70 year old puss.
@Jack Meoff - Exactly!
Doesn't work in true HD
Deepfake: what one guy can achieve using his laptop in a kitchen beats an entire team of VFX company hired by Netflix.
to be fair they tried to make him look like Irishman, not Italian. Blue eyes etc. still failed thou
Deep faking 2min30 is not the same thing as deep faking 3h.
Plus the result is still meh if you look closely. You'd have to add extra man hours into it to manually retweek everything. Which would cost a lot of money.
@@jean-naymar602 will still cost a lot less money then CGI everything
He is handpicking scenes, they did a full head replacement in that film, not a face replacement. Which means you don't have to worry about consistence, even when he does a 360 turn, you'll have a hard time matching the back of the head to the face correctly in motion without headreplacement
That's just the start of why headreplacement is still better.
What if I told you, they mucked it up on purpose? Scorsese answers to people above his paygrade, and while we're distracted by the Irishman's fails, you're not wising up to all the deep fakes you WILL NEVER notice, on Netflix or elsewhere.
Netflix: “Remember all those years ago when we met?” *flashes back to being 65 instead of 75*
Deepfake: *actually makes them look like they’re in their 30s*
It was actually closer to ‘55 that they met.
I couldn’t tell his age either, or how old he was supposed to be. The CGI wasn’t good and I would’ve preferred just younger actors. Like in goodfellas, it’d make the story a lot more immersing.
This deepfake would’ve worked really well in the flashbacks to the Joffa timeline.
Juan Carlos Rivera I agree. In particular, when he kicks the shit out of the storekeeper, he looks elderly, rather than a man in his 30s lol
40s
Damn, this is amazing. He just looks like DeNiro in his Goodfellas days.
exacto
And Casino days.
Now if only Deepfake could redo the awkward beatdown scene.
With all due respect they Could have used a double or a posture man, But no they went with a half paralysed grandpa way. Still loved the movie though. The technical team sucked ass.
Ajax Sid THATS WHAT I SAID!! They could’ve just CGed De Niro’s face over the double. And even the de-aging they used still made De Niro, Pesci and Pacino look like 50-60 year old men lol

You shoud edit the whole movie. We will pay you, this movie needs you
Even if ILM had nailed the de-aging on the face, they couldn't do anything about the body. When DeNiro is stomping on the guy on the sidewalk, he looks stupid, all hunched over, his arms all curled up against his body like a baby learning to walk. Every time he moves, he's giving away the fact that he's really 77 and not whatever age he's pretending to be. They should've done what Fincher did on Benjamin Button and use appropriate body doubles.
As a huge Scorsese fan, I absolutely cannot believe they sat there and decided “yep, that looks good enough to be in this film”, it completely killed any sort of immersion I had
@@mdavis1992 it's because Netflix has a rushed filming schedule so imperfections sneak in, sadly
zombiesingularity surprised nobody at Netflix brought it up, the film would’ve benefited if instead it just cut to a close up of his daughters horrified face while you could hear the beating take place off screen, it was that fucking bad
@@mdavis1992 Dunno if they did, but it would have been good if they had given DeNiro knee and ankle braces to wear. He could popped ibuprofen as well to help him ease any joint pain too and maybe taken up Yoga. One of the reasons Deniro walks like this is probably because of dodgy joints and unsure footing. He didn't need to be doing cart wheels, but he needed to look like he was a bit more sure of himself and his footing. Harrison Ford wouldn't have this problem.
there are neural networks that can correct body position and allow you to animate someone after the fact
In defense of the Irishman's, they made him look closer to how Frank Sheeran actually looks instead of how Robert De Niro looked back then
Yeah after watching a few videos on how they did it, it seems the bigger challenge was figuring out how to de-age the character rather than De Niro.
Exactly!
People seem to forget that Roberts playing a character so he shouldn’t look like himself but younger, he should look like frank but younger
The problem is people know how young DeNiro looks and not how Frank looks. I think it was a wrong choice in the end. This and the old man's body movement took me out of it. If they used a body double with CGI face it might be better.
Exactly!
Your work is legitly better quality than the actual movie. Deniro's age looks a bit inconsistent in different scenes, but most of your work is Top notch.
I like the deepfake more than the CG Netflix used.
Really it's a deepfake over the Netflix CG so it's a combo.
Best of both worlds.
...and the Netflix CG was over the original face and acting of Mr. DeNiro himself. Best of THREE worlds.
@@elleroy9775 That is a very good point.
of course the deepfake isn't perfect, but it's very convincing. But just imagine how it's going to be improved in the next 5 years or so (or even less)

@@dyveira just watched Casino few hours ago definitely look like him

Problem for me really wasn't the face, it was the body, and how even when he was supposed to be young he moved like an old man.
The face too. With the age rhe facial structures changes, the nose and ears became bigger and skin flabby, they forgott all this details and just focus on the wrinkles.

Almost perfect, but his face doesn’t look quite as expressive.
True, but in the original version the fake De-aging look is distracting quite often
He comes off looking more gangster in the younger version.

The more expressive the more it looks like a grandpa playing tbh, age mimics distracted me from the movie
I came here to say that. Its like the mouth expressions are totally removed particularly on the sides.
The de-aging of Robert De Niro in "The Irishman" only made him look like an old man with a facelift.

It may be illegal due to the fact that it uses images from other films which the studio doesn’t have the rights to
@@joescad I think your right
They are not using because it cant produce 8K image. Calculations takes too much time and you need to do lots of compositing to fix errors. Deep Fake is good for low quality work not production.
@@bulentgercek AI upscaling will probably be able to fix the resolution.
Absolutely incredible. He actually looks like a young de Niro. The Irishman is a great movie but I couldn't get immersed in it because it was always old de Niro no matter the age they were trying to depict.
I think the other issue is that de Niro moves like an old man, and that's something that you can't fix.
Definitely looks more like younger De Niro however I believe the idea was to make De Niro look more like the real version of Frank Sheeran and not like himself. Great work nonetheless.
That’s a very important point that a lot of people are not understanding.
Yeah but they missed the ball. If they wanted to give him fake contacts; they still could of. The point is; when they made him de-age into his supposed 20's and 30's he still looked 70.
Isaiah Reimer
Although I felt it was a bit off, frank sheeran had old looking face even when he was in his 30’s so he looked older than he was
Absolutely stunning work... or training. Looks completely convincing and makes the actual movie look like they used a lookalike actor in place of Deniro. Yours looks like actual young Deniro. I can't believe professional movie studios aren't using this tech yet for de-aging.
They should honestly pay you to just redo all those scenes and re-release the movie. It really looks that much better. Seriously, great work! You have the best DeepFake algorithm I've seen to date!

I think it was Jeremy Jahns that said that how he saw the de aging in The Irishman was that it was making the character look younger, not Deniro. He compared it to Ant Man where in that, they make Michael Douglas look like how he did in one of his older movies, but in the Irishman, it's making the character Deniro is playing, look like a younger version of that character. So, I think Scorsese was going about this much differently than what can be done in a deepfake. Plus, your deepfake is much easier to do because of the effects already in the movie, I imagine it wouldn't be as seamless if you were deepfaking Deniro on his own.
Jesus, that's insane. After seeing this, you realize how much money Netflix really wasted on VFX.
I wish it was also possible to deepfake a believable beatdown when DeNiro goes after the grocery guy.
Techniques Hollywood should start using:
- Virtual Engines for CGI
- Deepfakes for de-aging and stuntmen
The reason Netflix’s looks “off” is they made his eyes blue.
True! But the biggest problem in the original is his mouth! :D

@@GetToDaChoppa-k5r He's not the main character.

You approach characters in a film on a case by case basis, not as a collective.
Wilful ignorant people like you will think he made something remotely good compared to original version. He just added deepfake...
The film was good, but Pacino’s, De Niro’s and Pesci’s de-ageing effects were jarring, they took me and others out of the story.
In some scenes you even improved on the lighting. I felt the Netflix version made the skin too yellow at times, like he had jaundice 😅
Looks like him straight outta Casino. Incredible!
They should completely “deepfake” the entire movie for all the actors and officially call it " I Heard You Paint Houses"

@@cockoffgewgle4993 Yeah, I think a lot of people feel that way.
The problem with the Netflix version was always the coloring of Deniro's eyes. His character was supposed to have blue eyes but instead of just using contacts they digitally colored his eyes blue. The lighting of the eyes was always off, usually too bright blue and glowing for the scene.
100%!!!! The eyes look awful!
He's a vampire
I can’t stop watching this. Deepfake Deniro looks so good. Need to remaster the whole movie now.
This is superb! Truly amazing, I wish we could see a full film with this alteration!
One tiny food for thought perhaps: at 1:17 The Younger DeNiro looks more smug/amused like he would in Goodfellas or Casino etc but this was a serious conversation Frank was having with the mafia bosses, he wouldn't appear as relaxed or at ease. This might be due to the available footage training the software?
Honestly with this technology the movie would have been completely different, i could not appreciate it as much as I wanted because of the strange de niro's face without much expression and this weird aspect of not old, not young. You should contact Scorsese and show him this stuff, after all he works now for his legacy, and the irishman could be better technically.
He wasn't supposed to look like young De Niro. He was supposed to look like Frank Sheeran.
I want a deepfake edition of this movie. Truly remarkable results
This is by far your best work and also i think, the best work of deep fake there is out there. Its bizarre how good it looks and how it makes us believe its a young De Niro.
Fascinating! Especially if we take into account how much it cost and what amount of time it took to de-age the actors in THE IRISHMAN. Now one really talented guy can do it at his home computer and make it look even better in many parts. Hats off! :-)
greetings from germany
It's really impressive. Part of me wonders if the weird sleepy vibe the original gives RDN is deliberate though - he seems too quick and intelligent now. Frank Sheeran was a docile, thoughtless sociopath who did whatever he was told without any sense of want or ambition, and those dull eyes really contribute to that.
2:20 that is just perfect
Yes, it looks amazing, just like young De Niro. But that is not the role here people…yes it looks more like De Niro but he is playing Frank Sheeran this movie and not the role of himself…
De-aged an already de-aged Deniro? Still interesting none the less.
These movies should seriously go back to the editing suite using this new tech. Makes a massive difference.
