Let’s take a look at how Deepfake and CGI are shaping a bold new future for filmmakers. Here are some vivid examples of what Deepfake and CGI can produce.<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There was a time when Adobe Photoshop seemed like actual magic. Upon its release, the software shook the news, entertainment, and advertising communities to their core, and crafty users from all walks of life turned to it to alter images for journalistic, humorous, and sometimes nefarious ends. Truly, it was a technological game changer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fast forward to what feels like several centuries later, and we see digital image manipulation edging toward yet another new frontier, thanks to yet another seemingly magical new technology: Deepfake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This new trend, which focuses specifically on manipulating faces, is something that both indie filmmakers and commercial video professionals need to keep their eyes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Is Deepfake Technology?<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to its Wikipedia entry, Deepfake technology<\/a> (usually styled \u201cDeepfake\u201d instead of \u201cDeep Fake\u201d) is synthetic media that uses \u201cpowerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content, with a high potential to deceive,\u201d and some of its earliest iterations date back to the 1990s. The majority of the Deepfake videos we\u2019ve seen so far use the tech to replace the likeness of one person (usually a celebrity) with a different person\u2019s face (also usually a celebrity).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wikipedia goes on to list many of the main machine learning methods to include \u201ctraining generative neural network architectures, such as autoencoders<\/a> or generative adversarial networks<\/a> (GANs).\u201d And, while many of these processes have been highly technical and take a good deal of expertise, Vice news reports<\/a> that there are newer versions on the horizon that require zero training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
