I will reach out and I will add that under the heading "headlines I never thought I would write in 2020."
In his new music video, rapper Snoop Dogg has been released from the production studio Corridor Digital to bring Tupac Shakur back to life through the wonders of technology. His view: To sprinkle Tupac deep into the rapper's last interview with MTV in 1996, which featured both of them, and having the AI creation lipsync is part of his song.
Corridor Digital staff of visual effects artists have been infected on YouTube last year with their in-depth videos of celebrity celebrities such as Keanu Reeves and Tom Cruise
That is because, often, creating unreliable deepfake requires training the AI neural network by feeding on tons of high-quality images. But with Tupac dying in the 90s & # 39; s, these types of photos have been understandably difficult for the band to come up with. Finally Pueringer found only three videos with high enough quality to start building the rapper's depth. The video was taken by 2Pac actor Josh Harraway, who worked at Coachella not-quite-a-hologram interpretation of the expanding rapper
"That was a fun process because it was more focused than Tom Cruise or Keanu Reeves," Pueringer told Gizmodo in an email Saturday. "We have also had to deliver television shows from the 90s, which was a process in itself."
And the results, too, are extremely convincing, as you can see in the video below.
As for Snoop Dogg's decision, he seems to give Corridor Digital's efforts a big thumbs up during his first reaction, which was shared in the group's video. No word yet on when Snoop Dogg plans to release the full music video. And even though he has not personally gotten to the staff since he saw Tupac brought back to life, according to Pueringer, "in the world of news means he is happy with the final product."
