In an era where technology is introducing society to envelope-pushing advancements, one of the frontrunners is Disney’s new breakthrough – a computer-generated neural network that can change an actor’s age with the touch of a button.
By using this new tool, savvy filmmakers have a newfound asset to help them in creating their desired film, tv show, or advertisement. Through photo-realistic age manipulation, Disney’s neural network will be able to make anyone look younger or older. Perfect for productions where a single actor is playing multiple age roles or age manipulation is needed for a particular scene, this tool is ingenious. As it stands, methods used that transform an adult to look like a child are extensive and costly, but with this new tool, filmmakers no longer need to go through such extensive processes to achieve the desired effect.
The objective behind Disney’s new neural network is to make the process smoother and efficient. As the technology matures and achieves remarkable levels of accuracy, this tool will be a much-needed boost to the movie-making process. According to Disney, “Our technology poses a huge opportunity and challenge; there is much more than just age manipulation that can be achieved through a neural network.” As it stands, Disney believes the application of their new neural network has further possibilities, such as being able to quickly and efficiently alter expressions, voices and movement.
Disney’s determination to challenge the boundaries of traditional filmmaking is remarkable and hopefully will lead to other impressive announcements in the movie-making industry. With the launch of their new neural network, Disney has redefined what is possible for filmmakers, giving them newfound potential for manipulating their content. Plus, with the use of sophisticated technology, we can expect stunning visuals that would have seemed impossible just a few years ago.
