Right now the market is internal training and corporate communication, but in the long term (under ten years), Synthesia’s Danish CEO Victor Riparbelli, believes narrative films and pre-production films could all be explored without leaving one’s desk. Their focus is not on high-end M&E but rather they are aiming at producing vast amounts of video content without needing to film actors. The company aims to replace cameras with code and scale its AI video generation platform. The final output clip is pre-comped and ready to use immediately. Backgrounds, animation, and even music can be added as part of this process. The actual production of any new neural rendered clip is then inferred from this training data in a couple of minutes. For the training clips, Mike was filmed delivering the same short script several times. The videos were authored in our offices, on a laptop, and were based on training data we shot a couple of days ago. In the test demo above, fxguide’s Mike Seymour introduces two fully digital versions of himself. Fxguide test drove the company’s Studio product, which allows someone to produce a digital representative and then drive that digital human with either a simple audio file or just a typed script, (see above). The company was foundered in 2017 by technology entrepreneurs Victor Riparbelli, Steffen Tjerrild, and two of the world’s leading researchers of computer vision Matthias Niessner and Lourdes Agapito.
