This week I wanted to find out how difficult it is to make convincing deepfakes. I set the milestone at 100 hours of learning and present my results.
I used DeepFaceLab to make this: github.com/iperov/DeepFaceLab
Inspired by the work of @CtrlShiftFace
My name is Mike Boyd and I make videos documenting my process of learning stuff really fast! Subscribe for more upcoming videos and feel free to tell me what you'd like me to learn next in the comments.

Imagine deepfaking your face into movies and raising your kids thinking you were a massive actor back in the day
-
As a computer vision engineer, I approve that our work mostly consists of changing two lines of code, and "Leaving it overnight".
-
Comment below your favorite deepfake... 🤣
-
The Spider-Man one worked surprisingly well It probably helps in that scene that’s the first unmasking in the film and we the viewers take the role of Harry Osborn for this scene who has no clue who spidey actually is…
-
The amount of skills Mike has is pretty unbelievable.
-
You are perfect for a mr. Bean deepfake. I know this because in the beginning I thought you actually did that. It is the first time watching your channel so i didn’t know it was actually you. Great work!
-
I laughed so hard at those first attempts, almost had a bout of hysterics
-
The thing is, if you turn your video quality to 144p at 5:30, it looks pretty convincing, and he learned to make this in about an hour and then just left his computer running for a couple more. Eventually, we will need videos to be 8k and contain many different lightings/settings to know if it's real.

It's nice seeing deepfakes being learnt by other youtubers. You got pretty good results for a month! I've been training breaking bad characters for weeks now lol
-
I am so happy to see Stuff Made Here in your YouTube feed. One of the best channels on the platform (along with this one, of course).
-
He actually made me really confident using a 2060, it shows how even modern but not bleeding edge products can still make convincing deepfakes.
-
I always love how well edited your videos are - absolutely incredible
-
Pre training machine learning before running a deepfake on Omegle would be hilarious 😂
-
That was an incredible video! I howled with laughter at some of those faces - the bad ones and the good ones 😂 You are so dedicated and an inspiration 🌟
-
This video was golden. Thank you, Mike. I laughed more these 15 minutes than the entire 2022. Love Zach <3

Mike- you have been an inspiration to me and my family. Learning new skills no matter what age - having the ‘growth’ mindset. The only beef I have with you is that you are not actually ‘average’ mike. You are highly intelligent and creative and have determination to follow things through. Thanks again for the inspiration!
-
I hope you take this as a compliment. But amongst the 'productive' channels of youtube, you really draw me in lately as your approach to learning is somewhat more relatable. Something along the line of going to youtube and fumbling along the way.
-
Mike I’m just impressed and proud of how you stay relevant just by being you !! Love ya
-
as much as i liked the movie versions of you, I have to say the introduction where u did the deep fakes was the most impressive by far :) well done!
-
This was wonderful in every way. Your end result was so much fun to watch and reflects your delightfully twisted sense of humor in all of the very best ways! Best success to you moving forward.
