I just heard a great talk from Jo Plaete of Metaphysic.ai on how they de-aged Tom Hanks and Robin Wright for Robert Zemeckis’ latest film Here, entirely using neural networks. They even had a real-time preview on set, enabling the director and actors to craft their performances live. In #postproduction, they introduced what he called neural animators, who could tweak the results without the need to retrain the #neuralnetwork. Pretty wild stuff. #focuslondon #filmindustry #filmproduction #innovation #ai

Thanks for the great write-up, as always Mike Seymour! Excited for people to learn more about how we made this really, really...really unique film! https://lnkd.in/gi4yjpwQ

Working with Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to creatively blur the lines between eras in a groundbreaking new campaign that unites them with legends Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis, Jr. Watch the spot below! To bring this vision to life, the brand Still G.I.N collaborated with creative agency Rosewood Creative, acclaimed director Dave Meyers, and entertainment-focused generative AI company Metaphysic.ai. The result is a “what if?” meeting that cinematically bridges past, present and future generations of superstars. Critically, we worked in close partnership with the Sinatra and Davis estates to ensure a faithful representation that honors how Frank and Sammy would have carried themselves.

Leave it to Ian Failes at befores & afters to craft the most in-depth, well-researched piece on the making of Here. We broke a lot of new ground in the use of AI/ML tools, in *support* of artists, for this film so, if that's of any interest to you, this is an epic read!

Jo Plaete beautifully captures the monumental effort and innovation behind Here, now in theaters. This groundbreaking achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the visionary collaboration of Bob Zemeckis, Kevin Baillie, and our extraordinary team at Metaphysic. From real-time de-aging technology that empowered legendary actors like Tom Hanks and Robin Wright to create transformative performances, to redefining the limits of photorealistic VFX, this project embodies the fusion of artistry and AI.

Pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Tom Graham shares how real-time AI brings lifelike realism to the screen—unlocking creativity and transforming the human art of storytelling. #Metaphysic #AI
