Need tech help with a AI remake of Man of Constant Sorrow

Recommended Posts

I want to make an AI remake of clooney singing Man of Constant Sorrow
I want to insert Obama and Pelosi for Pete and Delmar.
I want the new lyrics he sings to be as follows:

 I am a man of constant sorrow,
I've stabbed Joe Bidden in the back
Now I bid farewell to old Kamala,
That DEI hire was just a hack.
(That DEI hire, was just a hack) 

For four long years Trump's been in trouble, 
In partisan courts through out the land
Yet in spite of all my petty efforts, 
I could not eliminate that man. 
(We could not eliminate that man) 

Now it's fare thee well to Bobby DeNiro 
I never expect to see him again 
He's bound to ride that expatriot railroad, 
Perhaps He'll die upon that train 
(Perhaps he'll die upon that train) 

You can bury lawfare in some deep valley, 
For many years where it may lay 
Then you may learn to love another, 
While it is sleeping in its grave 
(While it is sleeping in its grave) 

Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger 
My face, you'll never see no more 
But there is one promise that is given 
You will never meet a bigger hor  
(You'll never meet a bigger hor)

 

Can anyone help?

Ran the concept through Grok without the lyrics 

That sounds like an interesting project! Here's how you might approach creating an AI-generated version of George Clooney singing "Man of Constant Sorrow" with Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi inserted as characters:

### Steps to Create Your AI Remake:

1. **Video Source**:
   - Locate the scene from the movie "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" where Clooney's character, Ulysses Everett McGill, sings "Man of Constant Sorrow." 

2. **AI Tools for Video Manipulation**:
   - **Deepfake Technology**: Use AI tools like those from DeepFaceLab or other similar open-source software for face-swapping. You would need good quality video footage of Obama and Pelosi to train the model to accurately mimic their facial features onto the characters Pete (John Turturro) and Delmar (Tim Blake Nelson).

   - **Audio AI**: For Clooney’s singing, you might use a tool like Synthesizer V or similar AI voice synthesis software. However, creating an accurate singing voice can be quite challenging due to the need for expressive singing capabilities which many current text-to-speech technologies lack.

3. **Voice Synthesis**:
   - If you want Clooney's voice, you'd need to find or recreate a voice model of him. Alternatively, you could use a voice actor whose voice closely matches Clooney's and then process it with AI to sound more like him. 

   - For Obama and Pelosi, find or create voice models that can mimic their speaking voices, which might be easier to find due to their public speeches.

4. **Synchronization and Editing**:
   - **Lip Sync**: Use software like Adobe After Effects with plugins like LipSync Pro or do it manually which might be quite labor-intensive for high quality. 

   - **Video Editing**: After swapping faces, you'll need to ensure the lip movements match the audio. Tools like DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere for editing, combined with AI tools for syncing lips with audio.

5. **Ethical Considerations**:
   - Be mindful of copyright issues. Using copyrighted material (like the song, movie footage, likenesses of public figures) without permission for commercial purposes could lead to legal issues. 

   - Consider the ethical implications of using deepfake technology, especially with public figures. Ensure your project is not misleading or defamatory.

6. **Distribution**:
   - Once completed, you can share your creation on platforms like YouTube, but make sure to add disclaimers about the use of AI technology to avoid misinformation.

7. **Community Engagement**:
   - If you're part of communities like those on Reddit or specialized forums for AI enthusiasts, share your process and results. Feedback can help refine your techniques.

### Tools Mentioned:
- **DeepFaceLab** - For deepfake creation.
- **Synthesizer V** or **Mellotron** - For voice synthesis, though more suited for speaking than singing.
- **Adobe After Effects, LipSync Pro** - For lip syncing.
- **DaVinci Resolve or Adobe Premiere Pro** - For video editing.

Remember, this project would require not just technical skills but also a keen eye for detail to ensure the final product looks and sounds convincing. Enjoy your creative endeavor!
