"Deepfake" used to put W. Shatner & L. Nimoy in a fan-made Star Trek series

[MaxOfS2D]

This is a very clever use of the "deepfake" technique and makes you a pretty good illusion, especially given that the fan series has an actor that knows how to imitate William Shatner's Kirk pretty well:

Here's another one which is much higher resolution, revealing the imperfections in the process—which aren't helped by the fact that these specific scenes seem to be much trickier for the software

The last higher resolution one remind me of L.A. Noire with that slight effect of the face not blending perfectly with the rest of the head and body.

Nonetheless pretty impressive job! It almost feels like watching a lost episode at times when watching the lower resolution ones

The first one has something off about it, the head shape I think, but Kirk is literally flawless in the second. As much as I hate the precedent that this "deep fake" software sets, it's more benevolent uses are definitely pretty obvious.

It kinda scares me about the future, in that CGI and real footage are no longer going to be distinguishable to the human eye.

Sets a really fucked up precedent in regards to false claims and stuff like that, especially in regards to politics. Speak out against a politician or someone else of high influence a little too much? Suddenly you are now on camera doing something heinous thanks to deepfake, with no way to prove your innocence(outside of an airtight alibi).

The guy playing Kirk did a fantastic job controlling the timing of his head movement and with that signature mouth agape look. Besides the voice that was so convincing.

Problem is it wouldn't need to fool the court to ruin someone's reputation, it just needs to fool enough of the public.

Photoshop is still pictures. Faking full motion video at 60 fps with almost zero artifacts is several orders of magnitude more convincing.

The same way we have technological ways to sniff out photoshops, I'm sure ways will exist to sniff out deepfakes as well.
