| Yes: | We’ve built proprietary AI toolsets for VFX production, designed to amplify our artists’ creativity and output. VEIL is a physically accurate facial replication and simulation model, enabling artists to move faster and achieve results once thought impossible in high-end VFX. For this project, VEIL was used to recreate the early-2000s facial likenesses of three football icons. Bespoke models were trained using researched archive footage, while matched body doubles were cast and filmed on set. AI was used specifically for facial replication; it did not generate the performances, action or creative direction. The performances remained 100% driven by the body doubles and the director’s decisions on set, including movement, personality, mannerisms and football-playing styles. VEIL enabled artists to apply the facial transformation with greater speed and accuracy, with final results developed and refined by VFX artists. All AI tools were operated in-house on isolated infrastructure, without public AI systems or shared services. |
