This week I wanted to find out how difficult it is to make convincing deepfakes. I set the milestone at 100 hours of learning and present my results.
I used DeepFaceLab to make this: github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab
Inspired by the work of @CtrlShiftFace
My name is Mike Boyd and I make videos documenting my process of learning stuff really fast! Subscribe for more upcoming videos and feel free to tell me what you'd like me to learn next in the comments.

Imagine deepfaking your face into movies and raising your kids thinking you were a massive actor back in the day
honestly not a bad idea
"Dad...why you broke af? 🥺"
"I'm gonna tell my kids I am Terminator
and Iron Man, Superman, private Ryan..."
Did this to my cousin years ago, she still thinks I'm Robin Williams.
The ultimate gaslighting
As a computer vision engineer, I approve that our work mostly consists of changing two lines of code, and "Leaving it overnight".
as a programmer, we're not so different in that regard
And optionally chucking it on a g4dn.metal instance to hide shitty optimization
as a person who codes, i would say instead of changing two lines of code...we are doing two actions well (ctrl + c and ctrl + v)
i believe that should encompass all the coders out there
@@LoneBeastYT Truth be told, changing a parameter from 1e-3 to 1e-4 does not require such a delicate operation.
"Compiling!"
The amount of skills Mike has is pretty unbelievable.
he actually gets other people to learn them and then deep fakes his face onto their videos

It is still very cool, don't get me wrong.

@@findafishf7065 yeah, this has truth in it too. You could be exceptionally good in something. But if no situation occurs where you could apply this skill. It's basically worthless.
@@dishmaco your myopia is breathtaking. Enjoy your self-assembled hamster cage lol
The Spider-Man one worked surprisingly well
It probably helps in that scene that’s the first unmasking in the film and we the viewers take the role of Harry Osborn for this scene who has no clue who spidey actually is…
You are perfect for a mr. Bean deepfake. I know this because in the beginning I thought you actually did that. It is the first time watching your channel so i didn’t know it was actually you. Great work!
Yeah I had the same thought! I'd love to see this.
@@Coyyyle You know how in movies there's the trope of someone who wants to deny having been recognized somewhere claiming they just have "one of those faces"? It would be nice if Mike had one of those faces.
That _almost_ sounds like an insult.

Hello
Deepfake of Michael Boyd at the start was convincing.
queen Elizabeth’s dance moves
I laughed so hard at those first attempts, almost had a bout of hysterics

so did I!
I am so happy to see Stuff Made Here in your CZcams feed. One of the best channels on the platform (along with this one, of course).
The thing is, if you turn your video quality to 144p at 5:30, it looks pretty convincing, and he learned to make this in about an hour and then just left his computer running for a couple more. Eventually, we will need videos to be 8k and contain many different lightings/settings to know if it's real.
It's nice seeing deepfakes being learnt by other youtubers. You got pretty good results for a month! I've been training breaking bad characters for weeks now lol
Hi
Hi? Hi? Really? That all you got? Is hi?
He actually made me really confident using a 2060, it shows how even modern but not bleeding edge products can still make convincing deepfakes.
He said he was using multiple computers and a laptop running simultaneously. But I suppose you can use pretty much any GPU, it will just take longer.
Definitely not bleeding edge, this GPU came out 4 years ago and you can easily find one for under $200.
@@desmond-hawkins that was the point of my comment. I have a 2060 Super, and was happy to see a video that didn't just focus on something like a 4090.
That was an incredible video! I howled with laughter at some of those faces - the bad ones and the good ones 😂
You are so dedicated and an inspiration 🌟
I hope you take this as a compliment. But amongst the 'productive' channels of youtube, you really draw me in lately as your approach to learning is somewhat more relatable. Something along the line of going to youtube and fumbling along the way.
Pre training machine learning before running a deepfake on Omegle would be hilarious 😂
I always love how well edited your videos are - absolutely incredible
Mike- you have been an inspiration to me and my family. Learning new skills no matter what age - having the ‘growth’ mindset.
The only beef I have with you is that you are not actually ‘average’ mike. You are highly intelligent and creative and have determination to follow things through.
Thanks again for the inspiration!
This video was golden. Thank you, Mike. I laughed more these 15 minutes than the entire 2022. Love Zach
same for me 😂
Like you, I have spent loads of time learning DeepFace Lab. It's a pretty steep learning curve, but it's fun to do. I've found the most important, and most difficult thing is, finding a source and destination face that match. If they both don't have similar face shape, particularly the jaw line, you won't get good results. Sometimes a source and destination will look similar in frontal view, but different in profile. Other than that, the most important thing is patience.
Hello is there a way i can contact you?
as much as i liked the movie versions of you, I have to say the introduction where u did the deep fakes was the most impressive by far :) well done!
The sparta one was actually quite impressive. Grwat video as usual!
Mike I’m just impressed and proud of how you stay relevant just by being you !! Love ya
Sounds lowkey backhanded LMAOO
27k views in an hour is not relevant, also deepfakes like this were popular like 5 years ago
@@incription that’s kinda bad considering his subscribers
the hell is that supposed to be
Well done, Mike, interesting video that really gives us a feel for the level of effort involved. Surprisingly hard, yet surprisingly difficult to get right. But not so difficult as an amateur couldn't do this convincingly! Spooky.
Thx Mike. Fan for YEARS and years now. (You always seem to find things I wanna know myself)
About this one, my comments / suggestions:
One difficult thing about YOUR face: the beard.
It makes it difficult for the AI to see the contours, and match it to (in particular) beardLESS individuals).
Also, I think specifying which part of the face = "a face" matters a lot.
(A lot of the (super janky) fake looking ones involve people with bangs, for instance.
I reckon you defined the face up to the bangs in those.
My suggestion is to define it until where the hairline SHOULD start, even when you can't see it....
> GUESS-TIMATE < basically)
In your case, I would suggest feeding it lots and lots and lots of images of people WITH BEARD (or 'facial hair' / douchebag chin strap / stubble / mustache / handlebars / sideburns / unibrows, etc etc.),
and to really take some time defining where the chin and jaw line would be UNDERNEATH the facial hair.
(Otherwise the AI will try to put your 1/1 face onto 3/4 of a face because hair is in the way...)
-
In general,
I think the main trick to quality here is just building and building and BUILDING the amount of references the AI has to work with.
I've watched every single one of your videos. They're all great... but this was incredible. Loved it!
The Sparta One actually legitimately looked realistic, like I could see you as the actor literally
This aged really well after the Atrioc thing
care to elaborate on context
THANK YOU MIKE! I can always count on you to keep me entertained and sparking ideas and inspiration in me. I Appreciate you! PLEASE KEEP CREATING! We love it!
Love ur vids Mike! Been watching since you posted that kickflip videos yearrssss ago
It went from bad (bad) to even worse but absolutely awesome. Had a really good laugh watching this video.
Trying to deepfake Jim's face would be a nightmare, that dude's rages are huge.
Hey Mike, I've had an idea for a kind of trick bouncing around my head for a while now, but I don't have the skill to test it. Basically, it combines spinning a pen with something similar to the front flip throws seen in soccer to launch an object like a pen or pencil. The idea would be to flip a pen/pencil around your fingers, back and forth across your hand, and to time that with a kind of front or diagonal flip in such a way that it minimizes the loss of momentum on the pen before launching it.
The JAWS one was pretty good, then I LOL'd at LOTR. Great results in the end for how long people spend really learning this skill. Great job as always.
I looked away for 1 second in the intro and the Jim Carrey face scared the crap out of me
The timing is impeccable. Just yesterday, I swear. I'm 21 years old and i finally decided what i want to study and persue as a career. Yesterday, within 24hrs ago i decided i wanted to be a machine learning engineer.
Then you drop this video and you drop me a place to begin looking towards as i begin my first steps into learning computer science.
You're one hell of a messenger
NGL, I missed the Day One Hour Zero line. Feels good. Great video btw
Dude the Inglorious Basterds clips were amazing!!
When you looked up from the shark I spit out my food 😂 so good!
As AI evolves I can imagine how dangerous deepfakes could become. You could create blackmail on someone with just a few images.
The concept of deepfakes is already common knowledge. So, the problem is actually that as the technology gets better, everything recorded now has plausible deniability. You can't really blackmail people, because the video or audio evidence isn't enough to prove they did it. Basically, we may need to build AI to fight deepfakes by detecting AI manipulation.
Or it could discredit actual blackmail material. People could just say its clearly a deep fake
Its surprisingly easy to detect AI. You can run AI checkers on deepfakes
Break up with your gf and have no homemade video but tons of pics? Free AI revenge porn!
Thank god the average person is computer illiterate - especially those who would actually consider using it that maliciously - so I'm not that fussed but yeah, the danger is not inexistent.
you have to remeber as ai evolves Everyone will have easy access so at that point video just because useless as a source of truth which it already is but not every one knows that. it would be good for some people since it means people can no longer blackmail with video since you could just claim its a deepfake if anything its a good thing
this is the hardest i’ve laughed at one of your videos haha this was so funny. but equally kind of terrifying
Happy new year Mike! Glad to see another video!
This was super interesting, always wondered how deepfakes worked
it was always on google. Stop wondering and start checking things.
I am not sure if it is that easy to understand how they work
This aged well...
you should make a video on re-trying the skills youve aquired and see which ones you struggle at now after a while of (not?) using them.
Never seen a Video from you before. Thanks for the work put in. Highly interesting topic
The Jaws one was a masterpiece. You could have stopped there. 😂
That made me burst out laughing a few times and I'm at work 🤣🤣🤣🤣 nice one Mike, absolutely brilliant.
Okay the jaws one actually wasn't bad, was hilarious, and also I think chain smoking and/or working a fishing boat would unironically suit mike stylistically.
Happy 3 Mill Mike!!!
This whole video was nestled very deeply into uncanny valley 😂It was soo hard to stop laughing and cringing at the same time
This is terrifying. And should be illegal. The amount of misinformation that can be spread is incredibly concerning.
6:35 Looks like a mashup of Johnny Depp, Sean Penn, & Steve Buscemi.
Great video! Thanks for your hard work.
Dude you are hilarious. And congrats on going 10x over your time budget! I can relate 😭😭😭
Your deepfake worked really well with robert downey jr actually! Would love to see more of that :)
I feel like where in a time where AI can be great and also horrifying. I call it "Suspension of Disbelief VS Deception"
Love your videos ..
Keep the good the work ..
The Shelly Duvall caught me off guard for an LOL moment.
You should try Dave Matthews... that would probably blend seamlessly.
Mike: How can someone be that handsome?
Also Mike: Someone that looks like me…
Lol this didn't age well xD
those last ones were actually seriously good!!! congrats!!
Great work! Especially Will Young at 13:48
Yo, that jaws one wasn’t terrible. Would love to see more iterations of that one.
Amazing video as always Mike :) Keep it up!
LOL! I lost it over the Mike Boyd / Gandalf mashup!
Really impressive. Fixing the difference between the resoutions and the different skin tones would make these basically indistinguishable
It has an edit file there where you run it and can change the skin tone blending and feathering edges to make it better, also there are 3 modes i remember that have different results, this is just the tip of the iceberg, basic stuff
@@chernobog8948 interesting, thx for the response
Always love your videos, but this time I even love the topic 😍 More please
I think the thing is that the best looking deepfake is always going to be a combination of both deepfakes and vfx to "clean up" and mistakes that are output. I think right now we dont have the compute power to make something that is very convincing yet even though what we have is leagues and bounds from what it started from. Probably needs a couple more years to hone it in but what we have now is still really good.
I love the moment u chose for the end result xD. Epic
Congrats on 3mil!
congrats on 3m subscribers!
What was that awesome guide you used. The big one. I am curious on playing around with this and learning more.
Such a brilliant video, and effort to learn.This might be future of entertainment, since people would probably like to see themselves in certain games or movies :)
i love your videos Mike, you try learning to juggle knives, im sure past skills will help you
Very interesting thanks. Your video quality is so crystal clear. May I ask what camera you are using?
8:20
I don't know about you Mike, but I think this was perfection out of the gate
I literally loved the garbanzo content it was funny as hell! love it, even in the fail is such great product!
Hello Mike Boyd! I was deeply moved by your fantastic video. Could you please provide the link to the guide document mentioned at 10:50 (the one you mentioned you read 10 times)? Thanks again for creating such amazing content!
I was so focused on spotting the imperfections of your deepfake face on the clips that my mind still did it even when you are just talking as yourself on the sponsor segment.
Yo mike I have a suggestion on what you could learn next, maybe it’s a bit more physical and less technology involved but I think you should learn how to flip a balisong
Thet ‘this is sparta’ one is actually very convincing!
Nice information sirji thanks 👍🙏
Love your videos! Keep up the great work! From the us
Fascinating thank you!
The Spiderman one is bloody brilliant :))
This is so interesting, I'm gonna give this a go - I have a decent PC and many hours to kill.
I was pretty surprised at the end of the video when the sponsor wasn't Ctrl Shift Face. :D
keep up the work man, brilliant vid!!!
Can your next video be about learning how to juggle three balls? i've been trying to learn but found that going from two to three balls is quite difficult also keep up the videos! i really enjoy them, they make everyone believe that you can learn as long as you stay persistent.
I think the problem would be he can already do that or he would be and to learn in a day or two so it wouldn't be much content for him
There is already such video and also a video how he teaches his wife to juggle.
@@feedbackzaloop oh thank you for telling me, i didnt know that!
@@modest1989 even if mike still manages to learn something that quick, he still makes engaging videos
@@VeryRGOTI No problem, not sure if you find them very useful though. Entertaining and inspiring - maybe
This has been such a funny episode, but also highly educational as always 😅
after watching the montage at the end, my brain was tricked into it looking like your face was deepfaked onto yourself for a few seconds.
Damn I love your videos this one was one of the more unexpected ones
Good video that cleared up many wrong assumptions about deepfaking.
Real truth is if you really wanna make it on profesional level without glitching and pixel and coloring ghosting first you need to spend many hours in try and error loops.
Second more important thing you need a powerhouse PC,with at least one RTX 3090/4090 gpu and top of the line CPU and machine would most likely run for 24 hours maybe even days if you want to reach perfection.
You need very expensive cooling system to avoid overheating on this long hours,it's very possible that in the process of making this deepfakes your GPU would fail and need a replacement.
Deepfaking is very stresfull on GPU,on the same level with mining so be prepare to costly repairs.
Other then that yea,you need a lot of patience and talent but if you are really good results can be terrifying.
Hello is there a way i can contact you
What up Mike... I appreciate your content mate
All the best
The I am iron man part was so real!! Great job 👏👏
The Jaws one has genuinely killed me off.
This is hilarious (and scary). Thanks for taking the time to learn stuff like this 🤣
Beautiful video, thank you for sharing this
That first one with the transition, wow
Mike, I’m not sure but I think there are visual wizardry steps in between your deepfakes and some of the really good ones. Maybe another episode on visual effects and blending the faces, colour matching them etc could be cool to get them as good as they can get? Awesome deepfakes though.
I didn't use another other programs other than Deepfacelab. For some 1080p clips I upscaled to 4k using Topaz upscaler. But no compositing or after effects type processing was performed. Some shots just looked better. Also, I reshot "my face" in the studio and outdoors which seemed to produce better results too.
I had a play around with deepfakes when they first became a thing. Garbage in, garbage out is exactly right, but for me the biggest stumbling block was the compute time. The longer it has to learn, the better the result and even with what was a very high-end PC at the time, it would take days just to get something that vaguely worked and literally weeks to get something convincing.
Like you said, it's as much art as it is science....we're still years away from deepfakes being the 'one click' process they tend to get represented as.
The most interesting part of this video had nothing to do with face changing, but for me it was your pronunciation of the words "learn and learned". I could listen to that all day. The face thing was alright, too.
Wow, that's a huge effort!
I love the Jim Carrey one
