Princess Leia Fixed using Deepfakes

Using deep fake software I've managed to enhance Hollywoods CGI version of Princess Leia in Rogue One.
The process took only 24 hours on an $800 PC and 500 images of Carrie Fisher in the original Star Wras movies. As you can see it's inevitable Hollywood will start to utilies this method of VFX, when and how is still the question.

► Deepfakes are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness leveraging powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence.

I took on all your feedback about the contrast/sharpening and gave Leia another shot.

[johnjohansson]

Nice, but I would have liked a little less contrast. I think that would have made it even more realisitc.

[srhatfield]

Disney: "Making a fake Princess Leia must be really hard..."

Deep Fake: "Nah, it's super easy, barely an inconvenience!"

[UncleJackOnline]

its the eyes, always bugged me they didn't get her eyes right

[tysoon]

Deepfake is too sharp, probably blur it a bit.

[Ezzynah]

YouTubers are now beating out Disney in visual FX. I don't know this world anymore.

The CG looks artificial while the Deepfake makes her look crazy.

Somewhere in the middle perfection is hidden.

Once the tech matures we should all expect a Remastered Deepfake Special Edition when it comes out in 8K.

[FilmCore]

You're probably the best in the business right now. Really excited to see what you do next! :)

[leyenda]

I love how cool Shamook is about the constructive criticism. Not all content creators would be so welcoming & I am thankful us subbers have been so tactful in our suggestions. We really are fans of Shamook's artistry!

It looks better at 0:45

That added filter at the end looks horrendous. Ruined it entirely. It's sharper sure - but it adds in this unnatural depth that isn't at all convincing. Might as well keep it blurry. The illusion is stronger that way

[SkeleTonHammer]

The actual problem with the deepfake is that it's bringing along with it a serious problem from the original, which is the bad/unnatural animation. So you have Carrie Fisher's face following the hackjob that they did for the movie. Would be better if we somehow had the raw footage of the actress under the CGI to match the deepfake to - a real face making real face motions.

[morlockmeat]

The deep fake is certainly better! After all, it's HER face.
And how many millions of dollars less is it?!

[woopdeedoodaa]

0:45 was peak realism, the contrast (looks a biy like photoshops "Clarity" slider) that was added afterward detracted from the more natural look. Great work.

[thespacecowboy]

I always thought the Rogue One Leia looked super weird and uncanny. This Deep Fake looks so much more like Leia

[ciervo]

How the description reads: "It's inevitable Hollywood will start to use this method of VFX, when and how is still the question."
Such an inspiring story!!

[mykonstantine]

I think the Deepfake is more human and emotional, especially the eyes, but would look almost real with a blended color palate with the environment (like the CGI) and and softer contrast.

[VinnieKielbasa]

Hollywood producers: Guys, how much would you charge for putting a different face from a 70s movie onto an actress?
CGI artists: At least several million, since we utilize high end equipment, and still the result might end up different from what you expect.
Shamook: That'll be three fiddy.

[rsolsjo]

She looks a bit more intense in the deepfake, but also a lot more real. She doesn't have the strange "glazed over" look as with the CGI.

[RadagonTheRed]

It looks SO much better. If the contrast was reduced by about 20% it would be spot on.
