While these avatars have become very high quality and photorealistic, the process of developing these avatars is cumbersome, time-consuming and expensive.

This feasibility study is a collaboration between DeepReel and University of Bath to overcome the aforementioned problems in avatar creation to bring unprecedented productivity into DeepReel's business processes of creating AI-generated videos and democratise AI avatar technology as a result.

If successful, the outputs of this study have the potential to transform video production in creative industries in the UK and around the world.</ns2:abstractText></ns2:project>
