Respect for the care they took for consent and payment. This tech will help smaller budget films to thrive. Amazing work and artistry from the developers! Groundbreaking
I am mixed on this. As a VFX artist who has tried a lot of these cutting edge ML tools I have yet to try a single one that holds up as well as their demos. Tools like this can be picky about which shots it can actually get a good result from. On the other hand, if this really works as demonstrated it is going to change filmmaking in more ways than they have demonstrated. Currently matchmoving is a crucial step in the VFX pipeline and requires a lot of complex work to get right. If an AI can nail matchmove of a shot and output a 3D model of a face for an entire scene in hours that is incredible and will no doubt change the cost of complex effects.
Thing is with the UFO Sweden example, it's going to be released in English language in cinemas. Granted it might be in fewer places but they're confident enough in it that they're able to do a full localisation of a movie. It's crazy if it works.
As a filmmaker and actor, who researches AI everyday for the past year or so…this is the s**t right here. This is so powerful. How long have they been working on this software package, and what was the R&D costs!? Wow. I’d love to get involved in this. Definitely want to play with it.
They seem to understand: work closely with the people you are making the tools for, listen to their suggestions and concerns, take into account everything you need to in order to make the product commercially viable. This will be a revolution in film editing and localization. It will save on reshoots, while still taking account things like consent and payment for those who are involved in the process.
This is the end of filmmaking. The fact that I see so many people in the comments cheering any of this is depressing. In 30 years, we will look back at movies being made in the 90s and 80s and wonder how was it possible the movies looked and felt so real, for the industry will have completely lost any connection with actual reality by then.
i agree, but i think it'll just be the end of "hollywood" filmmaking. REAL filmmaking will still be desired, and will return back to being about the art instead of its current state.
We're already doing that smartypants, new movies are souless and people look for the older classics for the soul or whatever, who cares, replace that shit, at least the tech will allow me as a consumer greater freedom to perhaps even create it to my own needs.
Well this potentially offers amazing options for turning an R-rated film into a PG-rated film (if harsh language is the objection.) As a filmmaker, I no longer need a lot of takes. I can even tweak and change the dialogue or delivery post facto. But think of all the ADR people who will be SOL! Especially nice that it's modularised to being a plug-in. Admittedly, only for Avid at this point, but presumably for Vegas, Premiere Pro, or After Effects later. I wonder if a tool like the Deep Editor will allow Filmmakers to produce fully localised versions of the film for China that the CCP can't censor (because *their* version still has China being partly responsible for saving Mark Watney in The Martian, rather than letting the Japanese come riding in cavalry-style without having to be appeased or begged first.) Or perhaps it will let the filmmakers still release a version of the film into the states that shows it was China's reckless obliteration of its own satellites (which is a real-life issue, for those who are not aware,) that caused the initial crash in Gravity, or depict corrupt government officials actually getting their comeuppance (rather than that whole sub-plot being excised form the script to appease the CCP, which has no corruption at all, and never has, so there, thhpppt.) Well, here's hoping. They might still ban the CCP-localised film from China if an alternate version of it exists (because you know it's going to get through the Great Firewall.) Maybe it will be up to "little" studios - or even directors, writers, or producers working on their own! - to release the film they wanted to make. Consider how different James Cameron's Theatrical/Special Edition films have been from each other (Aliens/The Abyss) but he had the resources - and the artistic vision! - to make both versions decades ago. Heck, there were dedicated amateurs who turned Titanic into a PG-rated film, or edit Blade Runner 2049 into something when they had to do it by hand. OTOH, I'm sure these guys will charge a pretty penny for this, and the open source versions may be what most people will use to make "the better film" circa 2024.
There are so many issues at play, from aesthetic to business to legal. If they release it to market before all issues are cleared (I can well imagine SAG going apoplectic!) I foresee a mountain of lawsuits ahead. That said, on strictly a technological level this is amazing. DeepFake Squared.
HERE IS THE MILLION DOLLAW QUESTION: Is this an actual product and if so, how can you buy it? Flawless has been bragging about this for years but it is not available for purchase and their website is useless.

Yes and no, it will make local movies even weaker, as you can now have local language movies made with a big budget in Hollywood - the local groups will struggle even more And it will help talented directors to make their local movie and have it reach a larger audience it's wonderful, and I want more french in my movies/games etc - and without the restrictions to have to lip synch, but have tools like this that can change the footage. but jobs will be lost with this, and gained
Amazing tech but this guy is so full of it when it comes to job loss. Just admit it’s happening if you like it or not, even the guys making the software will eventually have open source models that will replicate their work.
There is a claim this is a movie realism, and yet they do something that is obviously unreal. I.e. an English speaking actor is visually made to say Japanese. So this a claim that the appearance of the actor saying Japanese is the same as a bilingual actor. That’s functionally not real. And in a technical sense the people who made this movie could not explain why it’s not real. This a central problem of AI, realism. Another way to say this is an actor who is an English speaker knows their words have a truthful quality. Meaning they can discern ‘acting’ is a fiction. AI can’t be built to know ‘reality’. So a word uttered by AI like answering a query what time is it, answering the correct time does not show that the machine knows the real time is such and such. Another way this is a problem using an AI tool is the sense a camera is a point source. So a point source is not the whole of a scene. So AI can’t know wholeness. To summarize AI can’t ‘know’ realism, can’t know wholeness in a scene. This means recording a scene via a camera AI cannot know what is outside the frame of the movie.
Are you stupid or did you just not pay attention? With this AI software you can take any scene with any actor and switch the language to Chinese or Russian or whatever, and not only will they be speaking that language in their own voice, but it'll sync up their mouth and face to match the language being spoken. Which makes any movie or show accessible anywhere in the world. Try to do that with Photoshop tools dipshit.
"miracle" 😂 Fact that any of this is happening in this century should be mind-boggling in itself. You have no idea what will we be experiencing at the end of this decade.

Smaller budget will benefit from the big guys selling off real film equipment because they think they don’t need it anymore.
Thousands of jobs being demolished

The Independent filmmaker will have access to stuff that Hollywood would normally only be able to afford.
There will be an open source version of this in 17 months with much higher quality and fluidity
Open source version from Flawless ai or some other similar tool? Whats the name?

Yes and no, it will make local movies even weaker, as you can now have local language movies made with a big budget in Hollywood - the local groups will struggle even more
And it will help talented directors to make their local movie and have it reach a larger audience
it's wonderful, and I want more french in my movies/games etc - and without the restrictions to have to lip synch, but have tools like this that can change the footage.
but jobs will be lost with this, and gained
This is why the actors and writers are on strike
The results look kinda lame to me. Sorry.
This is cool tech but it will obviously lead to job loss, the guy shouldn't have denied that, but he just wants to make money.

definitely far from flawless
Was just typing exactly the same words ( just with ' audio added to the start') when I saw your comment.
I concur.
It will be in 3 months. Maybe even 3 weeks.
hahaha its SO BAD and having all the tools in the world does not make a good film maker lol.
