The Campaign

Real-time Video News Generation by Realistic Lip Sync Tech. In order to spread real news in real time, we created a computer generated imagery newscaster.

Creative Execution

We extracted the talent’s 3D scanning data, texture, facial expression patterns, and voice data, and integrated these with the latest lip sync technology to enable production of headline news videos anytime, in real time, even without shooting. Every day we got headlines before anyone else and produced the videos within 48 hours. These were shared on social media and promoted as banners.

Within 7 weeks we shared 182 types of creatives and generated 240 million impressions. Full video views increased to 342% over the average. We proved that delivering true information as fast as possible is the most desirable communication for users. In addition, this system of creating video news without shooting opens up a new door of what we can do with celebrities.

We challenged to create video news right after ‘d magazine’ received the latest articles. First, we decided to use Japan’s No.1 influencer as a newscaster to reach our audience. Since she is extremely busy, it wouldn’t be possible to create videos promptly if we shoot her every time. Therefore, we developed a system that enables to create videos without shooting using data extracted from her.
