>Deepfaking doesn’t have to be used on its own. A dedicated entity can shoot entirely new original scenes (unique footage), deepfake actors’ faces to look like the people they’re targeting, edit it all together, and possibly add CG VFX as a final layer to make the resulting video look very real This was treated (along with the ubiquity of CCTV in London) by the 2019 BBC show The Capture[0]. They glossed over a bunch of technical issues, but got the idea across pretty well. Of course, they made the Americans look like the worse bad guys (no one comes out looking good, even the nominal "victim.") but that's to be expected, given the darkness the show attempts to purvey. It's not great, but it absolutely provides context for the eventual advent of reasonable quality deep-fakes and the potential for abuse of the technology. I'd expect that we'll see lots more of this sort of story telling, especially since any sort of video production (not including raw video footage) is never seen the way things actually are. As such, the "faking" (minus the deep-fakes with faces, etc.) is the key to the exercise. Go watch the taping/filming of any television or movie and that will become immediately clear.
