Lead on this creation: Carla
DESCRIPTION: MAKE a deep deepfake (or series of) and post on discord and upload copies to your folder on the class google drive. INCLUDE a text file (caption on discord) that describes your process and the applications used. See my example below.
And what do we mean by deep deepfake? Go deep into the process. Compare and contrast results. Deepfakes are easy to make these days. Choose an aspect that you want to push. Is it content? resolution? aesthetics? humor or absurdity? or something else? The choice is yours, just dive deep into it!
BE PREPARED to discuss this creation in class or on discord next week.

INSPIRATION:
DEFINITION: The term deepfake combines deep, taken from AI deep-learning technology (a type of machine learning that involves multiple levels of processing), and fake, addressing that the content is not real. The term came to be used for synthetic media in 2017 when a Reddit moderator created a subreddit called “deepfakes” and began posting videos that used face-swapping technology to insert celebrities’ likenesses into existing pornographic videos.
