Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Shamook: Star Wars effects company ILM hires Mandalorian deepfaker
Shamook is a popular deepfake artist known for creating a variety of Deepfake videos on YouTube. The deepfaker was recently hired by an effect division of Lucasfilm, which has been producing Star Wars films. While the original actors and actresses age, the franchise has been exploring the past and creating side stories. So, here comes the aid of deepfake technologies to revive and create the movie characters that were performed by the original actors and actresses. Deep fake technology has been used widely to create funny videos on YouTube, some of which were criticized for being too offensive or immoral. But it has been steadily used in creating films just like other special visual and audio effects.
Will we soon see more or just fake characters or avatars in films?
Enjoy reading the article and watching the video to learn about how deepfake technologies are being used in popular movies.
