Small fixes to a real performance.

Nudge an eyeline, match lips to a new line, put the lead’s face on the stunt double — only with the performer’s consent.

Plate: a stunt double in a leather coat gallops a horse through a river at dusk, his weathered, bearded face clearly visible. Stunt double, as shot
With consent: the same ride with the lead actor’s face on the stunt double; everything else unchanged. Lead’s face, with consent

What it does

AI performance assist, handed back as layers.

Performance assist refines a performance that was really given. It never makes one up. An eyeline that misses its mark, a line changed in ADR, a dub that has to match the lips, a stunt double who has to read as the lead. Only the face or mouth region changes; the rest of the shot stays as shot.

The jobs

  • Eyeline
  • Lip-sync and dubbing
  • Stunt-double face replacement
  • Stunt-double integration

What you mark

Mark the face or mouth and say what changes: the new eyeline, the new line of dialogue, the lead actor whose face goes on the double, with their approved reference.

What you get back

  • Comp
  • Changed region (RGBA)
  • Edit-region matte

    Lips matched to a changed line or a dubbed language.

  3. 03

    Stunt doubles

    The lead’s face on the double, lit and blurred like the plate.

    Hair, skin tone and build matched between double and lead.

Questions

About performance assist.

Do you need the performer’s consent?

Yes, always. Before any performance work, the production confirms in writing that each performer whose face, lips or likeness changes has agreed to that specific use. Without it, we don’t run the job.

Can nolanlabs create a digital double or clone a voice?

No. Performance assist refines a performance that was really given. We don’t create synthetic performers, generate performances from nothing, or work with voices.
