Abstract
A method for automated computerized audio visual dubbing of a movie comprises (i) generating a three-dimensional head model of an actor in a movie, the head model being representative of specific facial features of the actor, and (ii) generating a three-dimensional head model of a dubber making target sounds for the actor, the dubber head model being representative of specific facial features of the dubber, as the target sounds are made. The method also comprises modifying at least a portion of the specific facial features of the actor head model according to the dubber head model such that the actor appears to be producing target sounds made by the dubber.
