I'm Nick Anderson, and this is how Deep Faked David Dover.

I've been creating special effects videos for about seven years now, and I used to post them unbind.

I was always a huge fan of Zach King, and he's the one who inspired me to start creating my own videos.

I had always heard about deep take videos, but I never really thought to create my own.

And so I said to myself, Well, it can't be that hard to make them right friends that I was wrong.

This was my first time ever attempting something like this.

I was going into this completely blind.

Since I had no experience with making deep fake videos, I had to turn to the Internet for help.

I remember I spent days searching how to even begin on this project.

Before I even started, I chose David Debris as the subject of the video for a couple of different reasons.

I wanted to choose somebody who ticktock viewers would instantly recognize, and everybody knows David for a deep fake to be effective.

It helps if the two subjects looks slightly similar to each other, and I think we dio.

So I thought up this little mini plot to include in the video.

So the video shows me getting up and seeing this random black hat on my night stand.

And David is known for wearing his plain black hats, and the hat ends up being the thing that transforms me into David From my close to my face.

It took way longer than I expected to make this video.

I think the entire process from start to finish took over a week.

I spent a few days researching how to even create a deep fake video.

I spent five days actually running the program to make it.

And then I spent another day editing everything together into the final cut.

The actual process behind deep faking is pretty in depth.

The general idea, though, is the program takes the appearance of a source face and the position of a destination face and kind of combines those together for the program to be accurate.

It needs a lot of data from the source face.

Luckily for me, David Space pretty easy to find.

I downloaded a bunch of his vlogs and fed all the footage into the program.

Then the program tries to recreate the faces on its own.

At first, the results look terrible.

It was like some sort of blurry, alien, distorted face.

But each time it tries to match up our faces, it gets a little bit more data and it becomes a little bit more accurate.

I end up running the program for over five days, and it matched up our faces 280,000 times.

Once I was happy with the result, I was able to just drop into my video and edit it all together.

E Yeah, yeah, What's up, guys?

So sick?

Because an amazing app that helps you buy tickets and literally the easiest way possible.

I've definitely got some mixed responses on the video.

So on one side we've got the people who thought it was amazing and super cool.

And on the other side, we've got the people who said the video made them feel uncomfortable, which I could understand.

Seeing someone's face morph into someone else's is pretty weird.

Out of the 8500 comments that the video has, I'd say probably 75% where people just tagging David on it.

Overall, it was an awesome learning experience.

And I had a ton of fun throughout the entire process.

Mhm.

Yeah, yeah.
