Pretty sure they were using Deep Fake technology on this vid, so that's how it worked so well. It's meant to adapt someone else's face to whatever face you want.
@@michaelgiordano2458 i know, but my point it's while in the other famous faces it's noticeable the use of deep fake (the lines in the faces, the way their fits or not in the Steven's face), Tom Cruise and Paul McCartney's faces fits so well that you could say it's them and not Steven. It's the best use of deep fake, i mean.

Steven Wilson is building upon an already phenomenal catalogue with this album! The sound is relevent and futuristic and to me, it belongs perfectly in a dystopian cyberpunk world.
You Steven, are not just a musician, you are a unique artist with a beautiful sense of critique to point out all that's wrong with our society and thank you for that. Your work should be written in school books so that children could have an actual perception of state of the world today. Thank you again for sharing your impeccable talent with us!
Damn creative!! Self doesn't exist as we perceive it. Self is dependently originated! Everything is dependently originated and all composite things are impermanent. Only non-composite things are permanent! Self/soul/consciousness cannot exist independently. Self is empty of objective existence! We must get conviction on this with study, reflection, and meditation thoroughly as much as we eat food three times a day! ✌🏻🤞🏻
Steven, your music matures as we all do around. This is outstanding album. And Self is my favorite song. Great video as well. Remember your live performances in Chicago. Porcupine Tree at Park West and then you at The Vic. Outstanding shows. I discovered your music thanks to Piotr Kaczkowski from Polish Radio. Actually he introduced you to Poland. Keep going forward as you do. Greeting from Chicago.
Why would you not, honestly? It's fresh, creative music. I think most "Prog" fans are hilariously unprogressive and want everything to sound out of a Rush album. We should enjoy bands taking risks and going places we don't necessarily like. Good for you, man. This album is really good.
It's not good. This sounds like it came out of a musical processor. There's 2 or 3 good songs on the album. A crap album means the band you like took a year hiatus, might as well have.
I just love Steven Wilson's new album The Future Bites. I received the limited red vinyl version from my local record store last Friday. I've been listening the album several times since Friday. It sounds better the more I listen to it.
I had this feeling with all SW albums. I find it meh at first glance, but the more I listen, the more i start to enjoy/love. So knowing this fact from past albums, i listened to 'The Future Bites' 5 times non stop before I gave my opinion. 😁
Honestly, we can do much better right now and it's quite unnerving. That said, I'm fairly certain that organizations intent on manipulating information have found deepfakes to be an unnecessary expenditure of time and resources when social media makes achieving their goals much easier.
Buenisimo! I appreciate your creative vision and your guts to handle all kinds of shade that emotions-perception shows in life! Thanks for doing something about it with your art since always! What a pleasure is to enjoy and be part of the magic that is stand for one
yeah they actually really work here where in other songs I'm still just like...eh. like in Emminent Sleaze they're almost too nursery rhymey but in here they feel spooky and ethereal. Excellent song. unnerving lyric video. 9/10
I'm personally more fond of Steven's progger, rocker side than this more electronic phase, but it has indeed a heart and makes more sense when you see the videos to each song. Smart lyrics, excellent edition and solid conceptual work. I'm really looking forward to see the whole album released. It has to be acknowledged that Steven is constantly experimenting and exploring music and visuals, and even on his poppier side he does a quite artistic work 😀👍
This is my first time hearing Steven Wilson's music hahahaha I don´t know what can I say about this, I'm used to listen prog music, but this was absolutely different. It was a great experience, I'm following you now!
Check it out his previous solo albums. The raven that refused to sing, Hand Cannot Erase, Insurgentes, To the bone and Grace for drowning. And then go his work on The Porcupine Tree. If you love prog music, you shall fall in love with him music.
No stage in 2021, no meeting at the Casino Barrière de Toulouse in France. Strongly your return Steven and thank you for your music which allows us to wait for better days!
Love how the comment section is just full of everybody trying to crack a joke. Every comment section has the same formula now. *insert joke* "Entertain like a fucking clown."
Es increíble como haces un universo con una sola idea, y te das la humildad de hacer tan bella obra en una video estático. Carajo, eres un maestro y lo serás siempre Steven!
Actually the two techniques are pretty different. "Cry" used cross fades, an analog mixing of the two faces on film. I would bet that "Self" is using DEEPFAKE technology. Kinda like motion cap, but the computer is taught how to create a celebrities face by studying thousands of pictures of them at different angles. The computer basically then makes a 3D model of the celebrities face, with multiple angles and expressions. Then the models face, in this case Wilson's, is mapped, his eyes, his mouth, the way it stretches, everything is mapped. Finally, you film the model, and then the computer can over lay the celebrities face, their eyes mouth, on top of the models, and use the model's performance to instruct the celebrity face what to do. I might be wrong, but if it is a deepfake, its actually super complicated and sophisticated visual effect. Pretty original. The attention to detail and the fact that I bet Trump didn't show up on Steven Wilson's music video shoot proves that this is more than what "Cry" did. Not to mention using David Bowies face, a man who is sadly dead. SW could have used anyones face, where as Godley and Creme were limited to who they could physically shoot. Major differences despite the similarities on the surface.
Dang, awesome!

Didn't like the album initially as much as I was looking forward to it since the delay last year but this brilliant video alone makes me appreciate the album so much more. Will most likely grow on me in the very near future soon enough
I don't know how you feel about the record now, but as someone that's listened to it quite a few times, this is one of the few songs on this album I like.
@@ryancalhoun2910 hey Ryan. yeah its a good album for sure, no doubt about it. But I have some little nitpicky thoughts on some things that keep me from enjoying it fully... e.g. my fave moments from the album are Unself and Man of the People and both these songs abruptly stop just as they start developing a solid atmosphere upon which the song can really build up, in my opinion. Another thing to nitpick is Personal Shopper, I think it goes on too long. But overall I feel this is an exciting direction Steven has taken. I find a lot of similarities between Puscifers latest album and this one, not just in the musical direction but also lyrical themes. Too much to be a mere coincidence perhaps??? lol
@@goodsirbanzo3684 I don't really think it's that good, really. I think it starts off very strong, Unself/Self, King Ghost, 12 Things I Forgot, all good. Eminent Sleaze I can't stand but then Man of the People comes on and that track is good. Personal Shopper is ok. Very cringeworthy lyrically imo. Follower is one where when I heard it I said, "You've got to be fucking kidding me," and Count of Unease isn't that good of a song either. All in all, it's an average record for me. Nothing special, and without a doubt the worst album of his solo career in my opinion. It's not a bad record, it's just not really that good.
@@ryancalhoun2910 I have to disagree, the album grew on me overtime. I definitely prefer some of his other stuff for sure but I found this album wonderful. It's a good pop record where he brings his creativity from prog which makes it miles better than many pop albums I listened to in recent times. I'd urge you to give it a second chance, but either way I respect your opinion. I can see why someone won't enjoy it (my personal favorite album of his is Insurgentes).
It's only a matter of time before Wilson is purely and exclusively expressing himself through the medium of dance, full Jimmy Pursey! And I can't fucking wait, I'll be laughing my fucking head off.
Steven Wilson, the God of the new prog Rock, he always reinvent himself, I can't stop listening to this album, it's a modern masterpiece. I really need to see this album performed live on a big arena. Get lost covid, and let us live.

Lyrics:
Self-help and self-aware
Self-made millionaire
Turn it up and tone it down
Entertain like a fucking clown
Self-image and self-belief
Selfish acts between the sheets
Self has no sense of tact
Self is too self-detached
We are self, the self that loves itself now
We are self, I only see myself now
Self-absorbed and self-obsessed
If not me then someone else
Self sees a billion stars
But still can only self-regard
We are self, the self that loves itself now
We are self, I only see myself now
(I am the universe)
We are self, the self that loves itself now
We are self, I only see myself now
You’re a genius.
Love it, for me you are a true inspiration for making music!
The All is in my self and my self is The All
My GuRU.....my days when my parents were I use to hear you steve..missed u live in gauhati....u are an inspiration
lyrics to the point!!!...you did it again(!!)...and we thank you

Steven Wilson is now officially a character in the MCU.
Hahah 🤣 wilson-man, god of prog, future-biter... smth like that
Hype greater than avengers endgame
Unironically a perfect casting pick for Justin Hammer from Iron Man 2

He’s the Chameleon.
The best thing about this video is Steven is probably wearing a pair of trackies with no socks we just can't see it
It was most likely the case
I can't unsee this now thanks
And complementary bare feet
And the worst thing about it is that most people will miss the point. Like you, apparently.
@@rbeforme I was only having a laugh jeez
Scarlet Johanson with beard still looks good, actually...
I felt a bit uncomfortable with this one :)
I love how he ends with david Bowie's face. The only one who isn't alive out of all the faces.
Apparently he appeared on cnn the next day..lol
It was a bit creepy... but cool ;)
Bowie was all about the Changes, he had many different Selfs over his career. The version here looks like a mix of a few of them, not a single one.
This kinda sounds like Fame so that way it's a tribute
Don´t forget Paul. I mean the real Paul.
Bowie would have liked this. I love the near blinklessness of this.
Steven Cruise makes me feel very uncomfortable...
Hahaha I loved that combo.
Indeed. That was the one that disturbed me the most!
Lololol
It's the one who blended most naturally, that's why it hit that ~uncanny valley~ spot I guess
I'm mostly just wondering and struggling to find out if they did the tooth.

Imagine deep fakes 30 years from now.
They can be extremely precise already, just depends on the work put unto them and the variety of images used for it to be more 3D accurate
By then it will be done with holograms.
Honestly, we can do much better right now and it's quite unnerving. That said, I'm fairly certain that organizations intent on manipulating information have found deepfakes to be an unnecessary expenditure of time and resources when social media makes achieving their goals much easier.
Deep danger
There won't be any fakes by then

This is a great song with a brilliant video. I feel it has references to Bowie's "Fame".
Absolutely fantastic
Great song, and really trippy video. Cool to see (presumably) deepfake technology being used in a music video, never seen that before!
And here we see it not only as tool that has been used, but apparently also as subject itself somehow
@@Vegetallaro Good point!
