Much of the credit here goes to Sham00k, who initially approached me (from England) and suggested a collaboration. He is the mastermind behind the mind-blowing, face-morphing effect here.
Great work! Did you have to tune the text of your poem to fit the idiosyncrasies of each face you were 'putting on'? Or was it entirely written a priori?
Not trying to take away from the awesome impressions in any way- but part of me wonders if the deepfakes actually made the impressions themselves betteer
What does that even mean? Huge amount of research and talent and intelligence is poured into creating and improving this technology. You can't compare the two.
He’s perfected the mannerisms masterfully. I feel a lot of people can “do a voice”, but very few can actually embody another person entirely. The skill here is just next level.
Man.... That was truly genius talent, it wasn't just some impressionist, that word has been watered down by people who can only mimic the voice, but you are showcasing the way they make their expressions, how they move their arms, their body language subtle ways they choose certain words when describing something as a individual and what is their vocabulary is for uses outside just a rememberable quote but formulating original content through sheer self talent that has more to say about your skill level then theirs, and also immeasurably shows that you far exceed them. And could just take their spot as a double with a deep fake and they wouldn't even be needed and it wouldnt even be noticed. You are not a impressionest. But a genius actor and artist in a world with a blind audience.....
They’d probably think it was pretty unimpressive technology-wise. The head-exploding part would be getting all those people to participate in some guy’s UA-cam video
Definitely! Especially when it comes to Arnie or Walken (and even Nicholson to a degree), the natural inclination becomes a caricature. Jim stays impressively realistic.
Because the tech is not there yet. It looks ok on youtube low bitrate pseudo fullhd. But in the theater or bluray it's gonna look like floating blurry mess. Thats the reason why this video looks so messy for 4k, they lowered the quality on purpose.
Konstantin Otrembsky except Hollywood can afford serious compute/GPU time and can take a ton of sample image data to do this with deeplearning at film scale resolution. They might also be kind of afraid to, for good reason, as it would impact the future of acting.
Although, the "uncanny valley" refers to 3d modeled characters and their distinction from reality whereas deep fakes are using existing real-life imagery (photos and video) and AI to composite faces onto performers. Two Different disciplines.
The uncanny valley refers not to the artist's craft but to the audience's physiological reaction to a representation of a human that is almost perfect but not quite.
With the rate that Deepfakes, computer learning algorithms, and realistic CGI are advancing, it’s only a matter of time until we can ask Alexa for a specific genre of movie with a specific cast, and then your computer generates it for you.
I think you are 100% right, and THAT is really scary. And also a reasonable function we already do; see the Spiderman and Batman reboots. It opens it up to an infinite amount of recast and reimaginings.
Won't happen soon - a home setup does not simply have the storage and computational capacity. It will take ages to render out. I suppose you can solve the former with a lot of money and quite a bit of tech knowledge. The latter... someone will need to figure out quantum computing real quick for that to be a thing. The artistic choices won't be there either - that's where humans usually come in. To make the cinematic choices that influence you emotionally in carefully crafted ways. One of the reasons why moves take a while to make, among CGI development times. Neat idea though, can definitely see how you could ask a computer to generate imagery based on verbal requests in the future.
I was WAITING for someone to take advantage of your impression talents for a deepfake or two, Jim! Not only do you nail the voice mannerisms, but the face mannerisms as well. That's what really sells it! Always a great job!
Gotta be the most talented man on earth, that mix up is absurd. This has got to be one of if not the most impressive thing I've ever seen! Incredible...
Jim Meskimen no really Jim, I just called my wife in the USA and send her the link. I’m French in France waiting for my visa. Hope to see you soon on any show you can make. Please try to let me know. Best regards from Bordeaux and god bless.
Impeccable performance! There are those impressionists that just focus solely on the voice and then there are those that also focus on the facial expressions and mannerisms. This greatly shows when the deep fake is applied and it just sells it imo.
Wow, good memory! I appreciate you remembering me! "This Land" was the start of a lot of busy impression work for me, and I'll always be grateful. Many thanks!
I don't think we are screwed, it just forces us to improve ourselves by searching new ways to accurately distinguish authenticity. It may be true that authenticity will be more rare in the future, but also more valuable, therefore it's the natural way of evolution us becoming more intelligent.
That was some Olympic class floor exercise you just did! The rapid-fire shifts in tone and expressions (all yours and not the A.I., people might not realize) in quick succession were amazing and you stuck each one. Supremely good! (Couldn't share on Facebook fast enough.)
Seriously incredible! So much fun to watch Jim. And for those who don't know, Jim has a great singing voice as well. To this day I still talk about your Willie/Julio impression of To All The Girls and your friggin' hilarious rewrite and impression of Sting's Every Move You Make. Well done my man. ...every leaf you rake, every cake you bake... hehehe
One of the best things on the internet. The variety of impressions, sheer number of spot-on, deep fake and the poetic words themselves. Finally him wiping his face at the end hahaha STAY GOLD PONYBOY
@@jimmeskimen thanks will do! And The VFX sells it but you’re doing the full impression- body language, how you’re face changes and physical delivery of words- not just how it sounds. Like Dana Carvey level of solid- and varied- impressions. How or when did you guys first think to use them together? And was the poem and video and entire idea or did you have The poem first? I’m so curious.
Thank you again! Sham00k contacted me and we decided to collaborate. I had written this poem and done a couple of video versions, one with several impressionists doing a couple of stanzas each, but always felt it could be more impactful. Sham00k's stunning work really brought it to life. We've done a few others since, but they have not had the popularity, but now of course deep fake is not such a novelty as it was when this one launched. Also I feel the sequencing of the voices worked a lot in its favor.
This has a million plus views on Facebook and yet only (and I say only with a high amount of irony) 750k on UA-cam?? This should be way over 2mill by now....it also scares the absolute shit out of me . Great work Jim, absolutely bawled over by your ability to move so effortlessly between impressions.
Wow, thanks for letting me know. I hope you will visit my channel and see some of my other impressions videos. You're one of my few female viewers, according to UA-cam analytics! Welcome!
This highlights how many famous actors just play themselves within various roles and also just how incredibly talented this guy is. That he can play these people perfectly. The voices and body movements. If he were in a role, I can't imagine him becoming a typecast of himself.
FREAKING amazing! At first, I was like, "WOW, Jim's ability to LOOK like these guys is really good..." After the third one, I was like WAIT A SECOND!!!! I LOVE this, BRILLIANT.
It is just unbelievable and amazing! You perfectly conveyed the intonations and gestures of the actors, and the technology helped you in this transformation. On Robin Williams I became very sad, I miss him very much. You are a great actor, all the best to you
That was wonderfully disturbing. I've never encountered your work before, but your impressions are fantastic, and you masterfully demonstrate how much potential deep fakes have... and I'm now even more scared of where it'll end up.
I'm happy that you discovered me! I'm scared too, but it's inevitable that programmers will develop things like this. The point to me is that we use it for the betterment of life, not some kind of criminal scam. Sigh. Hope you will enjoy other videos on my channel!
At first you fooled me, I thought you actually looked like the people you were impersonating. I thought, "Meskimen has truly taken his impressions to the next level." Great job with Shamook!
What I love in these impression is the fact that it's not the usual caricatural « impression of impressions » like the exaggerated « You know ! » of Walken. These are really impressive impressions.
This is impeccable. I am stunned by how well both mannerisms of certain actors and the technology work together to create something absolutely magical. This is the work of art. Genius. I wish my voice acting and impression skills become this good one day. I only have to practice my entire life, I suppose.
You can take a few months off, here and there... ha ha! Thanks so much for watching and for leaving this kind, kind comment. I hope it will be an inspiration for you to do some videos of your own.
Jim Meskimen I sure will! Can't decide what's better, the poem, your brilliant performance or technology that is used here. Here goes 100+ view from me 😄
WOW! I never heard of him before, but after listening and watching this video, no doubt in my mind he's one of the greatest out there. Absolutely amazing talent
Oh my God! This is fascinating, although I must say, it takes a great impressionist to make those mannerisms and expressions so accurately. You're awesome, Jim! P. S. I was watching an episode of fresh prince when I spotted someone familiar... You. I got a real kick out of that haha.
I'm seeing this start to circulate on facebook. I think your video will hit a million soon. I have not been this captivated by a video in quite some time!
Much of the credit here goes to Sham00k, who initially approached me (from England) and suggested a collaboration. He is the mastermind behind the mind-blowing, face-morphing effect here.
Great work! Did you have to tune the text of your poem to fit the idiosyncrasies of each face you were 'putting on'? Or was it entirely written a priori?
Impressive, but still not as impressive as your performance here sir.

It's impressive as hell how realistic deep fakes is getting, but I find it even more impressive how many voices this guy can do spot on.
Thanks, Alexandre. I appreciate it.
@@jimmeskimen Yeah, was that really your voice without any computer help to sound like them? Because if so that was amazing!
the posturing and mannerisms as well, very impressive
@@wolfcub824 I do believe it was Jim's voice, however deepfake tech does include audio as well I believe.
Not trying to take away from the awesome impressions in any way- but part of me wonders if the deepfakes actually made the impressions themselves betteer
Deepfakes are mad impressive but they ain't got shit on this guy's talent.
Thanks, Edouard, that's very complimentary. Hope you enjoy some of our more recent work!
Jim Meskimen i genuinely had to stop my brain from tricking me into thinking your voice was also the actors. amazing content
What does that even mean? Huge amount of research and talent and intelligence is poured into creating and improving this technology. You can't compare the two.
What about the voice? Is he doing that too all by himself? It's impressive. Great work.
@@Sky.knight08 yes, voice is all by himself. Really talented person! I can imagine how much work it took to learn all those voices.
This clearly demonstrates how a good impressionist needs to able to throw in, not just the voice and the facial expression, but the body language too!
Thanks for noticing! It's the only way I know how to do it.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Never thought I'd live a day to see White Morgan Freeman

Thank you so much! Very kind of you, Wolfmouth!
I was thinking the same thing!
Man.... That was truly genius talent, it wasn't just some impressionist, that word has been watered down by people who can only mimic the voice, but you are showcasing the way they make their expressions, how they move their arms, their body language subtle ways they choose certain words when describing something as a individual and what is their vocabulary is for uses outside just a rememberable quote but formulating original content through sheer self talent that has more to say about your skill level then theirs, and also immeasurably shows that you far exceed them. And could just take their spot as a double with a deep fake and they wouldn't even be needed and it wouldnt even be noticed. You are not a impressionest. But a genius actor and artist in a world with a blind audience.....
Wow, what a nice comment! I'm blown away! Very appreciated!
I'd like to show this to someone from just 10 years ago and watch their head explode.
Now that would make a viral video!
@@jimmeskimen They would't know who half of them where! 🤔🤣🤣
"Black or White" was older. We already had a few "oh wow"'s since that time. ;)
What's the point? You can see the heads exploding even now:)
They’d probably think it was pretty unimpressive technology-wise. The head-exploding part would be getting all those people to participate in some guy’s UA-cam video
Imitating voices in impressive, but imitating souls... that's worthy of my deepest respect!
Wow, nice words! Thank you!
How did this not go viral yet?
Patience, patience...
Well would you look what happened 🤩
All too often, impressionist over impersonate. These all show a great deal of restraint and great talent.
Restraint is my middle name... thanks awfully for that super-kind comment.
I wish I had been given a cool middle name.
Definitely! Especially when it comes to Arnie or Walken (and even Nicholson to a degree), the natural inclination becomes a caricature. Jim stays impressively realistic.
And why exactly modern CGI-studios are not using this technology, but spend millions of dollars to remove Superman's moustache?
Because the tech is not there yet. It looks ok on youtube low bitrate pseudo fullhd. But in the theater or bluray it's gonna look like floating blurry mess. Thats the reason why this video looks so messy for 4k, they lowered the quality on purpose.
AND removing the moustache in the movie is a fucking hardcore and complex task.
Extortion

Is this what you meant by Weird Canyon, Max? ua-cam.com/video/l35ebzchxlI/v-deo.html
Out of the uncanny valley, straight through the weird canyon, across the plains of bizarro, until we finally reach the void of "where are we".
We will see what happens....
The funny thing though, technology can’t work w’out electricity....
We may have to go back. We probably should...

Pleasure adding another dimension to your already great impressions Jim! How do we top this one?!?!
Great work, you really helped bringing these impressions alive!
Sham00k this is incredible!
I don't know, but we will attempt it! thanks, man!
this needs to be higher
The impressions are so spot on, but I also think the poem deserves some credit, as well. I really enjoyed it!
Nice! That tickles me a lot. I enjoyed writing it. Thank you, Bridget!

The Uncanny Valley of AI will still be noticeable for a long time I think.
Will that mean video evidence is no longer valid or inadmissible?
It's almost like we'll have to go back to actually speaking in person again, to make sure you are you.

well, I think it's essential that performers use this for good, not evil... thanks for watching!
WOW! I never heard of him before, but after listening and watching this video, no doubt in my mind he's one of the greatest out there. Absolutely amazing talent
Very nice of you to say! Welcome to the channel and I hope you find a lot here to enjoy, Dominick.
It's crazy how seamless the transitions between faces is. Most of the time it's hard to see even if you are looking for it.
Yes, it's extraordinary. How do he do it? SHAM00K I mean!
This is amazing in every sense of the word. Bravo👏👏👏👏
Thank you very much, Dunya!
If I had this skill, I wouldn't stop being Antony Hopkins or Christopher Walken. xD
That's exactly what Anthony Hopkins and Chris Walken said to me... Thanks for watching, Vatsu!
Jim you killed it. Amazing job and amazing work from all involved. All were spot on, especially Robin. Kudos sir, kudos!👏👏👏
Thank you very, very much!
Oh my God!
This is fascinating, although I must say, it takes a great impressionist to make those mannerisms and expressions so accurately.
You're awesome, Jim!
P. S. I was watching an episode of fresh prince when I spotted someone familiar... You.
I got a real kick out of that haha.
Nice of you to say! I hope you subscribe and enjoy some of my daily offerings. Very best to you!
Outstanding job all round!
Thanks, Chris!
this is a masterpiece
Very kind of you to say, Jordan.
I'm seeing this start to circulate on facebook. I think your video will hit a million soon. I have not been this captivated by a video in quite some time!
I'd be delighted by that, of course. So far so good... thanks for watching and sharing!
MAN!!!! This was creepy and Amazing at the same time! Great job.
Thanks Matt! More to come!
I love impressionists and you sir are one of the BEST
Very kind words, thank you! Hope you subscribe!
@@jimmeskimen of course!
Gotta admit, the Robin Williams one creeped me out a little.
It made me a little sad.
I'm sorry, Santiago. His memory is a joyous one to me.
Deepfake isn't creepy. But that one did make me emotional
My eyes lit up for a second. It kinda moved me to see him in motion even though I know it wasn't him.
Yeah, that one kinda stung. I don't think he would mind at all, but it's still a bit of a gut punch.
This video is just one of the most impressive things I've seen in general
The Robin Williams bit made me tear up a bit. I almost thought he was still alive. 😭 R.I.P.
It's a nice illusion. Thanks for mentioning it.
@@jimmeskimen You're welcome
Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.
You are very welcome! It's really something. I'm still getting used to it...
This was a match made in digital heaven.
I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
Help us spread it around, if you can.
Man, this is just amazing! Love Cristoph Waltz impresson especially.
Oh, good! He's a great actor. I did a video of the Christoph Waltz Nav System: ua-cam.com/video/XO4i0wQ2qmk/v-deo.html
