Fake videos of real people

Fake videos of real people imageFake videos of real people image
Supasorn Suwajanakorn is a scientist that show us how to used 3D modeling to create photorealistic fake videos. His inspiration was a project meant to preserve our last chance for learning about the holocaust from the survivors. The project is 'New dimensions in testimony' it is about conversations with a hologram. The effect is surprising, is like to connected to the story. He thinks that the human interaction is much more profound and personal than books, lectures or movies could ever teach us.
 
They introduce a new technique that can reconstruct a high-detailed 3D face model from any image, from differents angles. It does not matter what expression you are making tor where you took those photos, they produced facial textures and colors, and this can be done for any expressions. It is to capture their mannerisms, and unique ways that people talk or smile. They use a neural network, to convert and input audio into those mouth points.

These results seem very realistic and interesting, but at the same time frightening, even to him. Their goal was to build a model person, not to misrepresent them.

Fake videos could do a lot f damage even before anyone has a chance to verify, but he is hopeful if they use it right an carefully, this tool can allow any individuals positive impact on the world.

I think that we have a lot  tools for progress, but it is in our power, is our decision if we want to change the world or go on like this.

This video is about the importance of own silence, but have you ever understood it? Many times we think that if we say something, it won't have value. For that reason, we don't express own feelings or thoughts and finally we explode. We can't keep hiding what we feel because that will manifest in bad things. We should learn to vent own emotions and telling the truth because "silence is the residue of fear" and all people want to be is human and all of we need is own voice.

ANECDOTE

I have two brothers their names are Cristian and Daniel. When I was 15 years old, my brother Cristian got sick of diabetes. He was 13 years old and he was two months in Roosvelt hospital, because Cristian was very sick. For that reason, that moment was a hard time for our family and me because of my parents did not have much money. Doctors said that this disease has no cure and the most people die young. Starting this moment I learnt to value my brother, my family and my life. Moreover, we help him with a balanced diet, doing exercise, because is good for our health and we learnt to have better communication between us. Nowadays, my brother is 19 years old, he is fine, he has a motorcycle because he loves riding it and goes to riding around Bogota. Thanks God, we have a close relationship with my parents and he works with my mom so, he is responsable. Nevertheless, I worry about him and I try to help him in everything he needs and I can.

The Boy Who Painted Christ Black

The Boy Who Painted Christ Black image
This story is about a black boy called Aaron. He is a student in a segregated school in Georgia, he has a big drawing skills and one day he decided to draw a painting for his teacher for her birthday. Aaron drew Christ, but black, she received his present, but the supervisor thought that black people should not have rights and he considered them as animals. When the supervisor saw the painting, he attacked him and said it was a sacrilegious. Then, the principal defended Aaron and followed his beliefs, also he helped him with his future.


The story presents how people can be judge and humiliated only because of the color of their skin or beliefs. This is an important life lesson, that each one of us can make the world a better place, without violence, hate, discrimination and war.


Nowadays, we can find situations about violence of gender, sexual discrimination and racial discrimination, because we do not respect another people. We can not accepted that they think different to us. For that reason, there is intolerance and hate. We need to stop the violence and try to give love.
