  No, actual feature film VFX quality, which requires a VFX budget and is not created trivially. Any studio or production facility we negotiated vetted the process and understood it's viability. The process was used in dozens of VFX films, but as a one off technique, where the process could just as easily have been used to actor replace anyone. You see, that is somewhat the key the process, because it is successful regardless of who is being inserted into the media, it grants an amount of freedom, or casual attitude for the production artists who used to view actor replacement as a difficult, time consuming challenge.

The process was created for and was used in this feature film production: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBf9-_KyFJk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HBf9-_KyFJk That is my work, in combination with a VFX team. The original actor replacement process as implemented by the production team did not convince. I was a production analysis brought in, and created the extra embellishments to make the illusion convincing. The work was unique, I did some research and learned it was patent capable. Discussing with John Hughes, President of the Studio, he gave me the technology to pursue as I wished. This is significantly higher quality than today's Deep Fakes, and as such it requires actual VFX artists, as well as a non-trivial expense. (Of course, that expense is less than any return from using the process - that's the whole point.)
