, reporter Kirbie Johnson takes readers behind the scenes of the buzziest movies and TV shows to reveal how the best wigs, special effects makeup, and more are created. For this edition, Johnson gets the full scoop on how they made Harrison Jones look 40 years younger in the latest Indiana Jones film., Harrison Ford closes out his chapter in what’s been often referred to as “the role of a lifetime.
De-aging is a technique we’re beginning to see more of in the visual effects category, although the technology used to pull it off is not new. Industrial Light and Magic , the visual effects company created by Indiana Jones creator George Lucas, has been replacing stunt performers' faces with the principal actors' faces since 1991. Take, for instance, a blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene inJurassic Park,in the kitchen with the raptors chomping at her feet.

It’s striking to the audience, and when done well, it propels the story forward with sentimental value., it’s not as simple as placing Harrison’s 39-year-old face over his current 81-year-old one. Many online would put this type of work into the “deep fake” category.
Industrial Light and Magic has coined this overall process ILM FaceSwap. The images we end up seeing in a scene are crafted by various sectors of the visual effects house; the company refers to these offerings as being a part of the FaceSwap tool set. For example, Sherry Hitch, visual effects compositing supervisor onthat before they started tinkering with images in post production, a proprietary system called Flux was used to film Ford during production.
, which allows cinematographers to film light that is not visible to the naked eye. That data along with the facial tracking dots utilized on Ford during the performance help bring FaceSwap to life.In post production, FaceSwap utilizes a form of AI called machine learning to analyze and match Ford’s facial performance along with a 3D asset of his younger self created by artists, which replaces the ears, neck, profile edges, beard stubble, and adds details to the face.
