Hey all, as more and more people start creating deepfakes, I was thinking we could start up a discussion about what new people should know as far as choosing models, scenes, lighting etc... Basically, anything not related to the actual technical process of making fakes (although certain technical aspects could be mentioned).
All users can participate, but I think creators with a good track record of making convincing Deepfakes input would be most valuable.
To start the discussion, from what I've seen is that model likeness to celeb is super important. However, the caveat to this would be if the models head shape matches up as well. Many pornstars look like celebs already (ex. Lela star, Anetta Keyes, etc...) Which does helps sell the fake most definitely... Unless the celeb has a head size larger than her body and the pornstar is the opposite (small head, large frame).
I'm curious to find what tips others would give to aspiring deepfakers...

Your observations remind me of a theory I have about deepfakes ... It works best as digital makeup. In essence, you are smoothing over one girls features with another. Your layering a different nose cheeks eyes etc over a base face. I for one am shocked that similar results could not be achieved in Photoshop as I know they have a digital makeup type feature in the software. But then again, deepfake is way more intricate than a head or face swap (which is still a convincing way of taking in its own right)
