These folks are using generative fill to create matt environments for videos...  Interesting stuff.

Saw that this morning, shared it with a mate. 

Certainly is an interesting development/approach when you think about. 

How many adverts out there only a few seconds long per scene? (or even shorter!) 

If the talent are not doing massive movements, you immediately make location scouting & art department waaaaay easier! And you can do far more epic videos.

Yeah, it's the first example I've seen that's ready for genuine pro work right now.

This one is incredible.

I'm not sure how available it is for users though - I saw this video posted by the developer who is sharing their work on the liftgammagain forums just this morning.

Also, paranoia seems to be setting in.....

The judges looked at the metadata (it was taken with an iPhone) but couldn't work out if it was real or not, so disqualified the image because they weren't sure.
