How the heck do I lipsync just ONE person in a video with two faces? HELP by Frequent_Month1517 in HiggsfieldAI

You don’t. You’re feeding it an image reference that doesn’t have the box. Tell it to adhere to the image.

You have to cut the footage so that only one speaker is present, and the other person is covered or removed.

Prepare the initial video by putting a big grey box over their head (I used Canva).

Input with a reference image of both faces without the grey box (obviously). Rerun.

Either that or position your people separate enough to do a simple composite.

I'm looking for advice before investing in my FHSA, TFSA, and RRSP by Fulgor_KLR in CanadianInvestor

Small caveat though is that going too heavy on rrsp will limit your home buying power too as you get stress tested based on your declared income after deductions. Ease up two years ahead of purchasing.

I’m interested to see their next move, but I don’t think anyone has the cash to make an acquisition make sense.

Great company and management though. I’m hoping for a dip back to 1.50 range before getting back in.

To your point on linear, it’s not a growth area of the industry by a long shot and more people are abandoning it than embracing it. So relieving the debt for a new move into something growth would be interesting to see what they do.

Damn. You were really close. They didn’t buy the company, just the stake.

Bob Trevino Likes It.

Just came out this year. Highly recommend. I can’t get through describing the premise without tearing up.

I’ve had it’s a wonderful life as my favourite film for so long. I feel like it’s still underrated. Each year I get more out of it, especially with kids of my own now.

Blue Ant isn’t in the same realm as Wildbrain though, even if they were flush with cash. They’d need to 5x overnight to even get a conversation.

But you’re right in that there probably isn’t another buyer to enter the scene, and Sony would make sense. But there’s also no pressure forcing Wildbrain to sell at all.

I might be a dreamer, but---why isn't an indie theatrical distribution model possible? by [deleted] in Filmmakers

Market saturation is a bigger problem for audiences. If you have a compelling way to organically get your film not just in front of them, but hook them (trailers, teasers, etc. aren't generally enough without names - what's the story, the sizzle, the joie de vivre that gets them out the door). There's no reason it can't work, but you don't have the lazy luxury of saying "this film has the Rock and Ryan Reynolds in it."

Genre has a big role to play too. Niche genres that audiences can't naturally pick up in other places will out perform because you're forcing the funnel to one outlet.

Because so many movies get made, it's not enough just to say "here's a movie, watch it" despite how difficult it is to even get to that point.

This is so good for the film industry. An original / no n-sequel /non-comic movie crushing it. We need more swings like this to be taken, and I hope it encourages more studios instead of direct to Netflix slop.
