Title:
- ABBA Voyage: High Volume Facial Likeness and Performance Pipeline
Presenter(s)/Author(s):
Abstract:
For the ABBA: Voyage concert experience, Industrial Light & Magic (ILM) was tasked with digitally time traveling the iconic band′s members Agnetha, Anni-Frida, Björn and Benny back to their prime time appearances. For the duration of this fully computer graphics generated concert four continuous photo-real digital human facial performances had to be synthesised driven by their original current day counterparts and stand-in young actors. This talk will dive into the extensive research and development that was undertaken to cater for high volume facial capture and processing, true-to-likeness face-retargeting and additional techniques for breaking through the uncanny valley.
