In 2022 the only reason you will find potato quality camera footage is because it is most certainly been doctored. It's much easier to hide the edits when the quality is dog shit.
Eventually though the technology will become good enough for them to deep fake people in HD quality.
Both are true at this time. As an editor, I utilize the tool of downgrading film quality in order to make deep fakes more realistic (not just faces) but also HD quality can be achieved depending on how much time I have to pour into the project at hand and what sources I have to work with.
I am rarely paid for my endeavors, but if I was paid, you would not be able to tell that a deep fake has been used.
The program used for OPs vid is basically plug and play amd requires no skill, hence the shite appearance of this video (I know bc of what memer account it came from).
Thanks for an explanation, my comment was pure speculation but based on logical thoughts.
Can you explain what has happened to television over the past decade? Let me explain.
I dont watch television and haven't watched television in about 12 years. Yet whenever I would visit my parents and sit down in the loundroom and watch it something has changed. Everything has this weird "lag" to it if you will. Everything now looks so HD to the point where my brain instantly recognizes it as fake. As far as I can tell this phenomena doesn't seem to occur with documentaries.
I don't know if i've explained it enough or if you're able to understand what im trying to explain.
I understand what you're saying. The easiest way to tell if something is deep faked, is light source issues. Basically even with moving backgrounds (Instead of still frames) no studio wants to be able to take the many team hours it takes to be able to make a subject appear as though light sources are all coming from the same direction.
So when live feeds are done or even movies or anything on TV, they can be instantly faked bc nobody really cares even if things are fake. They just want to be entertained.
As an example, I don't watch TV or newer movies, but one of the "hottest" premieres this year is a remake movie called "Death on the nile." Now see that a studio that has over 40 million dedicated to special effects and cgi crews can't even fix their light sources in a studio to make the characters appear realistic. If studios don't care, then smaller mocking bird type CIA productions don't care either bc they know how easy it is to fool people.
