Can AI truly support the production of a commercial or a film?

The answer is absolutely yes.

​

We’ve finally reached a moment where the tools are mature, reliable, and high-quality enough to integrate into a real production workflow: VFX, face replacement, lip sync, voice cloning, and even creating AI twins.

This is no longer a promise, it’s real, and it works.

I recently completed a project that combined all these techniques.

A challenging piece of work, for sure… but definitely achievable. And above all, driven by one intention: to pay tribute to the artists featured in this commercial.

​

I also want to highlight something important:

This spot was shot by Dave Meyers, a director I deeply respect for his visual storytelling and artistic vision.
The original deepfakes were created by the talented team at Metaphysic AI, whom I salute for their outstanding work.

 

Today, AI doesn’t replace creators. It expands what we can imagine, accelerates workflows, and opens new possibilities to tell stories differently.
