The Mandalorian Luke Skywalker Deepfake

Unfortunately there isn't much I can do to improve the animation/mouth syncing, if I had acess to the body double footage before they applied the CGI, deep fake would be a definite improvement.
Hopefully they release some behind the scenes footage eventually so I can give that a try.
Also, I only had 4 days spare to do this deepfake before the holidays, I'm not 100% happy with the quality but here it is anyway.
Enjoy!

Hahahahahaha been watching everything of your videos! 👏

The mouth and lips while talking are better with disneys but everything else about the shmook deepfake is better

Came cause I found out you made the cgi. Seeing Luke looking so good made me emotional thank you.

So good!!! The people working at Disney suck

Who ever made this needs to be hired to do this as a career this is amazing

no different

hm... not much difference. In fact, there much worse parts...

The original his eyes are set too far apart

Since they hired you for Boba Fett, I hope they give you all the original body double footage of this so that you can redo it and they can update it, I've always hated the janky version they have right now

Please deepfake the original Gozer (Slavitza Jovan) into Ghostbusters Afterlife.

Should of hired you to do Harrison ford in the new Indiana jones movie

Es müssen umbedingt Gesetze gemacht werden,wo das alles geklärt wird.Schauspieler Rechte!!!Copright etc.

Bro...I hope Industrial Light & Magic is reaching out to you. Cause you could DEFINITELY give them quite a few pointers. Or they should be at the very least offering you full-time employment.
I don't know if it's their lack of technology, lack of tools, lack of time, lack of budget or maybe all of the above. But they need to be taking pages outta YOUR playbook when rendering these actors back into a youthful appearance.
ILM's Indiana Jones 5 effects were not very impressive, in terms of making Harrison Ford look like he did in the 80s. In fact, I was quite disappointed. Certain skin textures, lighting in the orbit/eye socket felt very doll-like or shark-like, like there was no REAL life behind them. And any sudden movement just bogged it up even moreso.
OH OH OOOH!!!! Not to mention in Rogue One, when they brought back Peter Cushing, which was monumental for the film series, it could've been soooo dope & such a SPECIAL moment...buuuut....they dropped the ball on that one too.
I will give ILM credit on the voice tech. Cause when I 1st heard Grand Moff Tarkin speak for the 1st time in damn near 40 years, the hair stood up on the back of my neck. And i don't have a very hairy neck.
Would loooooove to see you fix that Peter Cushing scene.

But for real for real, whatever your technique is, it should be at the very minimum, the standard method for youthful rendering in all CGI across the gamut of all films in Hollywood.
In fact, don't stop what you are developing either. Keep going. You might discover even more techniques. And You might set the level so high, you may very well become the pioneer that sets off the next evolution of CGI. Bravo good sir. Bravo.👏👏👏
Give us MORE!!!!
Show these rookie digital artists how a real G does it.

Sadly, unless the underplate cgi face was removed, there's literally nothing that can be done to improve upon shitty cgi movements with a program that's designed to be perfectly replicating the face that's underneath.

I HOPE AND PRAY that since they are putting Mando Season 1 and 2 out on 4K Disc at the end of the year that they are doing a THOROUGH remastering and revising of this scene to improve it and make it reach the highest standard possible.

Disney + version should update & use this new & improved version for the episode.

Nooo grogu 😭😭😭

Disney you have to hire this guy

Its only after you watch this that you can tell even the voice is terrible. Like before I knew it's not his face but now that I see it is his face, its not even his voice

Hope you are doing great. Just rewatched some scenes from Luke and I just have to thank you for bringing our childhood hero back in such a good quality, cheers!

Damn looks way better 🙌

They look exactly the same.

I hope Lucasfilm make a remastered version in the near future. The digital de-aging in the Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny trailer looks so convincing.

Why didn't they fix it post-posted?!?

Hey I know it's been out for a while and idk if you still even read these things, but thank you. Growing up watching the prequels and original trilogy repeatedly, I was always fascinated with the story of Luke Skywalker. Seeing him in the Mandalorian season 2 finale, I was completely blown away because I just never expected Luke to be the one to save the group. Hearing about your work AFTER watching episode 6 of The Book of Boba Fett, I just wanted to say: Thank you. You brought a great advancement to deepfake techniques to the largest company in the world. Your attention to detail truly revived the greatest hero in the history of cinema. I hope you can share your talent with Disney or continue working closely with them in future Star Wars projects because, quite frankly, Mark Hamill will never give up the role of Luke Skywalker until he dies. If you or anyone within the corporate side of Disney and LucasFilm are reading this: Please use Luke Skywalker sparingly. Make him the legend that the galaxy far far away comes to know. His story between Episodes 6 and 7 should span throughout Star Wars media.

wonderfully done, even the actor looks like young luke.

Superb job! That really looks like young Mark Hamill himself. That was incredible work from a single person!

Dude, now we need they improve the original version.

Just in 2 years the tech has gotten so much better than this. Insane time we live in

So much better. Nice job

Disney is employing the wrong people

Disney should employ you!

I actually didn’t even think it was CGI when I first watched….

The giveaway is the somewhat lifeless eyes.

Chewbacca did the original version.

Dudes deepfake went as far as to add reflection shine in his eyes

Just came back to call you a DOG.

I'm impressed with the vocal synthesis and animation *each*, but come on Disney, the lipsync is terrible??

"Are you a Jedi?"
"I am THE Jedi."

Looks more real than Mark Hamill himself. 😆

His voice was digitally altered in the film to sound younger. And to me it sounds obvious

Dude did such a good job Lucasfilm said "Well done. You got a job."

now Shamook is working for the studio now, will they replace the original scene with the upgraded version? I certainly hope so

When I first saw this scene, Luke's face looked off, like it was rushed or unfinished. This is so much better. Hope they use your work to fix this in the actual episode.

The Orphan Firstkill .

If they ever remaster these shows, i hope that’s one of the things they fix as well as cad bane

Any way you can redo the Neville Longbottom broomstick scene from Sorcerer's stone?

Do Mitch McConell as Chancellor Palpatine

Congrats on joining Lucasfilm
