This wonderfully detailed bust of Mr. A in his role as the Rajah of Rukh from THE GREEN GODDESS inspired me to try an AI program to animate it. Then, it was just a matter to synchronize the bust’s “movements” to an audio track that I created by cloning Mr. A’s voice from a soundtrack recording. Ah, but what might he say under these circumstances? Perhaps something about his role in the play, I thought?
George Arliss “speaks” about his first film, THE DEVIL (1921), and the Future of Motion Pictures
Through magic of voice cloning we can hear Mr. A tell us about his very first film, THE DEVIL, and his thoughts on the future of motion pictures. To produce his voice, we used an Artificial Intelligence (AI) program that cloned an actual recording track of Mr. A’s voice. The text of his conversation is likewise authentic. It is taken from direct quotes of a magazine interview he gave to Shadowland magazine that appeared in its January 1921 issue. Your comments are welcome!
