In recent years, a number of tools have been released that use artificial intelligence to modify video calls in real time so that the caller can connect to the camera. FaceTime can do that. Microsoft Teams can do this. And Nvidia Broadcast can do it too. (In all cases, provided you have the necessary hardware or software).
This technology, of course, comes with its own interesting questions. Like: Is constant, uninterrupted eye contact good or a little scary? Are these tools helpful for people who don't naturally like eye contact? Or is it just the thin end of a wedge labeled "increasing use of artificial intelligence to create a thinner digital version of ourselves increases alienation and loss of identity" for love of argument?
The answer to my last question: "Yes, probably." But now forget that intellectual crap, here's the dumbest and best use of this technology. edit film scenes for the actors to interact with the camera.
The master of form is visual effects specialist Daniel Hashimoto, known for his Action Movie Kids YouTube channel and weekly industry podcast. Here are some of his best works via his Twitter:
Chatting via Twitter DM, Hashimoto told us he created the videos by connecting his web browser to Nvidia's streaming software, which provides the functionality and does all the processing in real time. As a visual effects specialist, he says he was surprised by the results.
“From a technical point of view, the technology is incredible. The tracking is done in real time, and the lighting and color matching are very impressive,” Hashimoto said. "The effect animates inwards and outwards and respects the direction of the person's head, so it will direct their eyes when looking away from the screen, but respects if the person clearly turn your head and stare at something. "I have no doubts. this videoconference for which all tools will soon have an option.
He notes that some people have misinterpreted his edits (notably a scene from The Bear , second above) as an attempt to "improve" the original, but notes that "this couldn't be further from the truth" .
"As I said online, this show, this performance, this scene is transcendent and it was too blasphemous to use," Hashimoto said. He joked that if anyone was offended by the video, they could call his live show tomorrow and talk about it.
With that in mind, here is the final edit on a very relevant topic:
