Movie extras worry they'll be replaced by AI. Hollywood is already doing scans
- rolph 3y ago[drop] A union negotiator has claimed studios have offered to give background actors one day's pay after being scanned and that the actor's digital likeness could then be re-used "for the rest of eternity." The studios have strongly taken issue with this characterization, claiming a background actor's digital replica would only be used on projects the performer was hired for, not indefinite future productions.

- frfl 3y ago> one day's pay after being scanned and that the actor's digital likeness could then be re-used "for the rest of eternity." Reminds me of that one sci-fi short story posted on HN a few months ago, which I can't find right now, about the guy who let his brain get scanned and then it ended up being used for simulation thousands of times for decades. He ultimately ended up regretting that decision.

- rpaddock 3y agoThe 1981 movie LOOKER predicted this day, it also did the scans first: "Trivia The first ever film to create 3D shading with a computer that produced the first ever CGI human character was the model Cindy (Susan Dey). This movie achieved this feat before Disney's more famous Tron (1982) hit the screens. The Web site Filmsite said of Cindy: "Her digitization was visualized by a computer-generated simulation of her body being scanned--notably the first use of shaded 3D CGI in a feature film. Polygonal models obtained by digitizing a human body were used to render the effects."" https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/?ref_=kw_li_i https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082677/?ref_=kw_li_i
