Those clips are so good, and possibly as near to the originals than we may ever see. Im impressed, but then Im easily impressed these days.

Those clips are absolutely incredible and I suppose surrogate footage of episodes lost forever. Bring it on I say-future generations will never know the difference or care.As long as the episodes can be recreated with forward motion then the original lost footage will become a distant memory.Sad but in a way the episodes will live on forever for all to enjoy.

For a news announcement they should have used a still facing the camera. But the technology is amazing

I would, though, love to see for reference exactly what has been fed in to produce this. If you look further down that twitter thread there's a number of other shorter videos. The AI seems to be producing a short 2-4 second video from a single frame, with the video in the first post being 6 short clips joined together. And it's quite impressive. It makes the 2 videos posted a couple of posts ago look positively primitive! It shows how quickly technology is improving!

The first one looks pretty dire. But the face movements on the others are improving. The picture quality needs to significantly improve. 16:9 and colour too please! Amazing really ...

Going back a few years the Colour Recovery Working Group was set up to progress that, something similar might be appropriate here. It’s very easy to collaborate online nowadays.

Maybe it's just me, but doing this live or near-live with improvised voice overs for laughs looks like a theatre sport. Random stills, mad AI.

It’s definitely got promise 👍 I suspect it’ll develop faster than we think. I don't mean to do an I told you so, and in all fairness I think you were backing me up when I said it Jon, but it wasn't that long ago I said AI could be used un this manner, I think that's amazing for a first pass, and if it is then tweaked and given more information the algorithm will only get stronger till the amount of human intervention may be minimal. Ans as you say Ai is developing very quickly. Especially if you have it both telesnaps and some rotascoped animations like thenth planet for it to grab information from I'd be fascinated what could be charged out.

It's OK, if slightly wooden, for talking heads, but even then I think we need a bit of human thought along the lines of "Is that how that particular actor would play that scene?" The problem would be worse when body language is important, or there's a group interacting; there wouldn't be enough information from the stills to made good video completely automatically. However, the climax of "Fury From the Deep" would be a good project for AI reconstruction because there we have both the telesnaps and some of the alternate film takes to work with.

There are stories where both the telerecording and telesnaps survive. That gives the opportunity to feed the telesnaps and, probably also, audio in and compare the output with the telerecording.

I'd be curious of the result of doing a scene with some surviving clips. Perhaps it could do some extrapolation based on what what actually exists.

There are lots of things that could be tried which is why I believe a bunch of those who are interested and have an understanding of the technology should get together and have fun 👍

Maybe AI can be used to recreate Krimpton's missing dialogue from episode 3 of the War Machines. We must make his face speak again.
