Today, on the newest episode of the Team Deakins Podcast, we’re speaking with VFX supervisor Jo Plaete (HERE; ALIEN: ROMULUS; FURIOSA). Jo is also the Chief Innovation Officer at Metaphysic, and we discuss his recent involvement in bringing dead actors back to life using AI technology. Jo shares how data is fed into the technology to build out the model’s understanding of a person’s face, and he reveals how they map a performance onto a given model. We also learn how the model is steered towards the desired results of the filmmakers, and Jo shares what they do with all that data once the show wraps.⁠ ⁠ We hope you enjoy listening!⁠ -⁠ This episode is sponsored by Aputure⁠ Instagram: aputure.lighting⁠ -⁠ #teamdeakins #rogerdeakins #rogeradeakins #sirRoger #bywaysBook #jamesellisdeakins #teamdeakinspodcast #joPlaete #vfxsupervisor #vfx #stillPhotography #visualarts
