I've been playing a little with AI generated videos.
I used a very basic setup, taking a photo of me, and extending it to the correct frame dimensions with photoshop's generative fill.
became:
Then I simply ran it through runway, and looked at the results.
This was the output with the least deformation of my face. (note I had a slightly different room option to start this one from).
But there were some more exciting examples:
and:
These include some fun, dynamic, if not a bit mad, movements from Rory the robot.
There is quite a lot of unwanted deformation here, and certainly, improvements to be made, but human faces and features are tough to get right, as our brains are incredibly good at detecting them and noticing things that go wrong. I am not a fan of the ageing process it seems to put me through when I move my head, though...
Some incredible things to note though, are the really accurate shadows cast on the wall from the robot as it moves, these sorts of details will really add to the believability as the tools improve, the pace of which by the way, is rapid.
