The video processing technique DeepFake basically consists of
replace within a video content or an audio track, face and / or voice
with the help of particular algorithms attributable to a sort of intelligence
artificial, capable of rework images or sound to make them look like
as realistic as possible.
Some examples of the application of this technology can be found in
world of pornographic content, with theabuse of known faces to "counterfeit"
generic videos, in curious sketches like the one made by the actor and imitator Jim
Meskimen or in the context of ingenious scams.
The DeepFake technique, thanks to some fans
videomaker, also lands in the world of cinema by offering us iconic movie scenes
of the past with the participation of different actors.
Thanks to youtuber EZRydeX47 we can see Robert Downey Jr.
as Dr. Emmet L. Brown and Tom Holland in Marty McFly's
inside in a scene from the second chapter of the trilogy back to the future;
in this case only the faces have been modified leaving the voices unchanged.
More complex than proposed by Youtube channel Ctrl Shift Face where, between
the many videos published, there is a reworking of the film Mom I lost
the plane, ironically called Home stallion, where the face and the
voice of Sylvester Stallone are replaced by those of the protagonist Kevin
McCallister, played by the very young Macaulay Culkin.
A technique that over time becomes more refined and "easy" to adopt, interesting for creating content to entertain users by providing videos that have as a limit
the only imagination of those who design and create them.
