In one of the clips, which has been seen over a million times on Tiktok alone, "Tom Cruise" conjures away a coin.
This is the clip that Marcus Liwicki sees as the most advanced.
There, he believes that the person who created the clip also spent a few hours on post-processing.
- What you need is a clip with you and maybe a hundred pictures of the person you want in the video, it can take a few minutes and then you have a finished film with a person who does what you want, he says.
The technology is constantly evolving and today there are several apps that can achieve the same results as the videos on the Tiktok account.
- 25 years ago, it was very difficult to do it, pixel by pixel.
In 2017, when deepfakes came along, it became much easier and much faster to do them.
Now we can do it sometimes in just a few seconds, says Marcus Liwicki.
