Writer and director Black Dynamite
We worked with Respeecher on a film called ‘In Event of Moon Disaster’ first shown at the Amsterdam Documentary Film Festival 2019. They helped us create a synthetic voice of Richard Nixon to bring to life a never-read contingency speech in case the Apollo 11 mission went badly. We created a highly realistic film, in a large part due to their work. ‘In Event of Moon Disaster’ shows the creative possibility of voice replacement technology as well as highlighting just how realistic deepfake technologies can be, acting as a civic engagement project for the public along with contextual and educational resources.
Working with Respeecher has been an amazing experience. Their voice cloning technology was easy to work with and I am very happy with the results. I am looking forward to working with them in the future and I believe that the ability to clone and license a voice is a game-changing revolution, certainly in Hollywood, and beyond. Having experienced this first hand, I now think about the kinds of projects that would allow me to use this technology. I am excited about how this evolves and am definitely keeping a close eye on Respeecher as they progress.
