I repeat: <strong>do not look at the camera<\/strong>. This law, although even experienced performers find it hard to follow (and it causes them to have to repeat more takes than they should on set), is something that has to be complied with no matter what. Rarely, <strong>unless the actor breaks the fourth wall<\/strong> like Robert DeNiro in Taxi Driver, will you see a character stare at the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, however, <strong>you can make all your favorite actors look at you thanks to an Artificial Intelligence<\/strong>.

The reason? In video calls, due to management issues (you still have to look at the computer screen instead of the camera) you can&#8217;t stare at the other people. So these tools simply use this AI to do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But what happens when we employ this AI to make actors look directly into the viewer&#8217;s eyes? <strong>VFX specialist Daniel Hashimoto<\/strong>, known for his Action Movie Kids channel on YouTube, has demonstrated what happens in a series of rather amusing (and creepy) Twitts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">making characters look directly at camera <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Yl9hG31Ae9\">pic.twitter.com\/Yl9hG31Ae9<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ActionMovieDad (@ActionMovieKid) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ActionMovieKid\/status\/1617989809087336448?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NVIDIAAI?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@NVIDIAAI<\/a> realtime Eye-Contact is incredible <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/crI1jcAkif\">pic.twitter.com\/crI1jcAkif<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ActionMovieDad (@ActionMovieKid) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ActionMovieKid\/status\/1617971237820719108?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 24, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">can&#39;t get over how funny every scene becomes when the characters keep looking right at camera <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VsppiBu5LY\">pic.twitter.com\/VsppiBu5LY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; ActionMovieDad (@ActionMovieKid) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ActionMovieKid\/status\/1618241066398015489?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 25, 2023<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;<strong>From a technical perspective, this technology is amazing<\/strong>.
