We all pretty much know that pictures get retouched and photoshopped these days, right? What you think is real is most likely just a bag of tricks in post-production. But what about video? Apparently, you can retouch 4K video like if it was an ordinary photograph. Watch this.
Foton Inc. claims that it has developed a new retouching technique that can be applied to 4K video and it’s not going into the footage and adjusting frame-by-frame or compressing the hell out of it. Nope. Foton claims that its software can track a face as they move around the video and maintain the ‘photoshopped’ edits. It’s crazy.
I wonder how long it’ll take for this to become mainstream? [Vimeo via PetaPixel]

That is cool and all, but that video is really odd. The model barely moves at all, and moves in a really stilted/false way – it almost looks like an animated 3d model.
It’s most probably because they’ve shot stills near 24/25fps (Canon 5D) and edited them together to form a video rather than shoot on a device capable of 4K at 24/25fps video.
It might also explain how it’s been edited, they’d need to break it down to stills and then edited one frame then that would work out the same edit for the frames after.
Its because most of the time in that video they’re showing the movement in reverse
I sort of forgot what the video was about because I was too fixated on how gorgeous her eyes were.
*embarassed face*
Whether it’s real or computer generated, it looks fake because it’s been retouched to death. All the definition and shape in her face seems to disappear. Do some colour correction and that’s all that clip needs to look fine.
I think it’s rather the issue of what it was shot for. Cosmetic industry tries to sell perfect skin, not just looking fine. For example op looks fine already.
Yeah. It still looks a bit creepy and CG.
This sort of tech has been around for AGES in VFX houses. It never ceases to amaze me what audiences take for granted and then point out how bad CGI is in certain movies without having noticed some of the less obvious stuff that has been comped.
“This sort of tech has been around for AGES in VFX houses”
Absolutely ! If someone wants a highlight or skin imperfection removed it’s a fairly straightforward process.
We’ve been doing this for years, retouch in Photoshop, split the retouched areas into layers, import the lot into After Effects and track them to the face (using AE’s built in tracker or Mocha).
Didn’t they do this in X men? The one with young Xavier and Magneto?
I prefer the video before the tweaks. Also, she is most beautiful.
The way she’s looking around is really weird, after a while I start to feel ticklish…
NICE
nice trick
