Deepfake - Alexis Bledel - Originally Olivia Zlota - VR
The text discusses the process of creating a deepfake video featuring Alexis Bledel using footage of Olivia Zlota. The creator typically selects subjects based on personal appeal, but in this case, chose Bledel due to a striking resemblance between her and Zlota, which made the editing process easier. The editing involved a surprisingly small number of adjustments, requiring only 51 edits for one side of the video and 19 for the other, totaling around eight hours of work, which is significantly less than usual. The source material was a CzechVR video, chosen for its favorable filming conditions that aid in deepfake creation. The creator notes challenges with Bledel's distinct blue eye color, which posed some issues during the editing process. The final product featured rearranged segments to enhance the viewing experience, emphasizing the subject's face. The original video was 37:38 long, while the edited version was shortened to 26:00, maintaining a respectable 66% of the original length. The creator tested the video on a VR headset and found it effective, despite personal disinterest in Bledel. This deepfake was produced primarily as a fan service for those who appreciate her, with plans for future projects that align more closely with the creator's personal preferences. The creator provides a disclaimer regarding the quality of the work, emphasizing that it is consumer-level and not commercially produced.
