[DEEPFAKE] ROGUE ONE: MOFF TARKIN - IMPROVED AGAIN! 

Never understood why they didn't keep Guy Henry's eyes!

It looks better and it is very impressive, but it is still not quite there

​@Jaeger19Ultima Are you kidding? The only difference is the lines. I've compared Guy Henry's impression and Cushing himself. They're pretty much identical.

@@GROENAASMusic He sounds like he’s doing a very bad impersonation of Peter Cushing and not good enough.

Meh... the movement is still off-putting.

I remember seeing that for the first time and cringed in the theater. It was really unsettling but also very impressive at the same time. It’s amazing how just a few years later it already looks dated and bad

@@guyswithnothingtodo it looked dated then since without deepfake, we're just not there yet. Put CG characters next to CG characters and it's fine, but next to real humans for now it always looks fake.

@@DOSkywalkR if there were only CG people it would still look kind of uncanny, but seeing CG Cushing next to real actors definetly makes his face's fakeness more apparent.

@@ginogatash4030 yeah, I didn't say "put him next to CG characters and he looks real", what I meant was the human eye gets used to CG characters when all of them are CG (or when they look different enough from humans it's ok to put them next to one like in Avatar or so).

@@DOSkywalkR yeah, I was just adding to your argument

And he's not as shiny.

I don't think so.... You realize he used the original footage ... From the movie

Cause Lucas no longer runs Lucasfilm.

I agree if I was Disney I would’ve given this guy the original footage with the original actor to use as reference points but he did an amazing job

Are you saved? If you died tonight will you go to heaven or will you go to hell? Acts 16:30-31 KJV ...what must I do to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. God Almighty, the Creator was manifest in the flesh. He came into the world to take away the sin of the world. He gave up his own life to save yours. His sacrifice on the cross paid the price for your redemption with his own blood. On the third day he rose from dead and offers the gift of salvation and forgiveness to those that repent and trust in him. This is the Gospel which means the Good News. Turn to Christ and live. John 1:1,14 KJV In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. [14] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, Isaiah 9:6 KJV For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. John 1:10 KJV He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not. John 20:28-29 KJV And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

@@jesusisgod2953 im saved

@@jesusisgod2953 Okay...What does the Bible have to do with a deepfake video? No offence, but, there's a time and place for everything, and this isn't the place for talking about religion, you know? Wouldn't it be better to talk about that stuff on a video that's about religion? Just saying is all

@@XephThePanda Mark 16:15-16 KJV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and PREACH THE GOSPEL to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT SHALL BE DAMNED. John 3:18 KJV He that believeth on him is not condemned: but HE THAT BELIEVETH NOT IS CONDEMNED ALREADY, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Well, it's not due to a problem of the actor himself. The actor that played this Tarkin was present, looked quite similar, but, I think what causes the unnatural stability is just how the face is done, and maybe how the actor moved. He may have been told to move in a way that was a bit too stilted, but for a first attempt, I think they got it more right than wrong, but still in the uncanny valley. With the touch up, it does look far better.

@@Stargun-vj1uh Yeah, I wonder if they told him to keep his face relatively still to make the sfx job relatively simple.

The body is actualy an actor

That would be because motion capture isn't sophisticated enough to be used raw - a large part of the cleanup process is smoothing, which gets rid of many of the smaller movements alongside the tracking jitter.

@@gentlebabarian the lips not the body

whats it gonna be called

@@kennethnorth7018 haven't got that far yet. Still working on the sequels.

Where can I follow this project??

@@dustinakadustin click my name

I wanted the same thing, I would like to see ROGUE ONE and the end of The Mandalorian without feeling that uncanny valley. Hasn't he answered you?

The technology isn't for sale - it's free. The problem with deepfakes is a) they're difficult to control - you never quite know what the neural net will plop out - and b) while they are good in aggregate (major facial features, contours, etc) they are bad in the details; the skin loses detail and gets smoothed out. You can easily see it even in this clip. That looks fine on a small display watching RU-vid, not so much in the cinema on a giant screen. I'm sure ways of fixing both those flaws are being investigated though.

@@KillahMate I agree with your last statement, they can easily do a deepfake, and easy fix whatever small flaws seem to pop out here and there (would be much cheaper than doing it the normal way IMO)

@@KillahMate I’ve never used or created a deep fake but from what I understand I thought the ‘smoothing’ was a time problem, given more time and detailed reference for the ai to learn from it gets better, or is there an upper limit?

@@Doiknowyou566 there isn't an upper limit theoretically - but it's both a time and complexity problem. Recreating more detail requires both more video for analysis as you say, and also a more complex neural net (and therefore more processing power) the more precise you want it to be. A less advanced model will never recreate very fine detail regardless of how much video it's fed. And a more complex net isn't strictly a matter of more power, usually a real jump in quality requires a whole new neural net design (like what the move to GANs was), which of course somebody has to invent first.

@@KillahMate Thanks for taking the time to explain.

@Adam Haywood Subtract, divide, or exclusion then? It's definitely a cancellation operation.

@@SaltyViper Ignore him, he's stupid. Difference would work fine.

Especially as ROTJ Luke! Maybe another montage of Sebastian in the trilogy like what Jarkan did for Tarkin? Hey, that rhymes!

Well Luke DID come back, but it wasn’t Sebastian Stan however.

Do Anakin as Sebastian Stan! Could easily pass for Luke's father

@@matthewoates Luke first.

Why world you want to replace Luke with someone who looks a bit like Luke? There's no substitute for Mark Hamill in any case 😅 Anakin needs some work though to make him look more like Luke's Dad 🙂 it'd be great to see Sebastian in place of Hayden (No offence Hayden)

@@matthewoates That's the point. Stan looks like Luke. And a lot of fans want to see him play the role, including Mark Hamill himself.

Hayden Christensen would be better.

I would actually love to see both versions!
