The Campaign

Karaoke videos were originally created as loosely-organized stories that would serve as a common base upon which to create wide variety of interpretations. By “showing” these videos to a computer and creating new lyrics that call to mind completely new stories, we aimed to give karaoke an entertaining new twist. And by perfectly syncing the lyrics and the visuals, we wanted to create a more immersive experience that would maximize people’s enjoyment of karaoke.

Creative Execution

A convolutional neural network learns from numerous combinations of photos and their descriptions. We then conduct a video scene analysis. A programmed AI creates captions for an unknown karaoke video frame. It repeats this process to quickly write more captions for the video. The system extracts distinctive words from the captions. It searches for related words and synonyms, then selects words for the lyrics. The system calculates the number of characters in the original lyrics, then replaces them with entirely new lyrics it has generated.
