Instant Movie Face Swap: First Results Are In!

Hey 👋

Quick update since my last post. I’ve started iterating on the instant face-swap idea — and guess what? The early results are already looking 🔥

I’ve built the first version of the system, and it’s working surprisingly well. You can take a short movie clip, upload your selfie, and in just a few seconds — boom — you’re Heath Ledger in Joker.

It keeps the full movie styling, shadows, colors, even the actor’s facial movements and expressions. I’m honestly shocked I managed to pull that off. Lighting? Emotions? It’s all there. You can actually see yourself acting in the scene — not just a static face pasted on.

Here are a quick before/after example with my face swapped (raw and unedited, but already fun). In the next stage, everything will be rendered with sound in .mp4 format.

Would anyone be interested in the open-source code behind this? Or maybe you’d rather see it as a plug-and-play web app and launch it on Product Hunt?
