A lot of the pleasure of this for me was scavenging appropriate HC clips and finding ways to incorporate them. That was fun and creative in a way that I enjoy. I also wanted to let his [potential] performance shine as much as possible, “prove” that he could probably convincingly pass as the same archetype if given the material and direction to do so. Even if I were to generate new fake Hayden lines, there’s something about knowing he never said or performed them that takes away from that premise.

Idk, I’ve been a little iffy about AI in these spaces, at least for myself personally. I think it’s exciting and cool to watch for other editors but not really anything I would find any fulfillment from. Maybe that changes with another idea I have down the line, but it’s so counter to what made this particular edit fun for me.

To answer the question about feasibility, it is possible, I’ve played around with it already. Just not interested

I will re-release the edit a little more polished soon like I said a few months ago, though. I think if anything, this AI stuff has given me a great out to stop thinking about this edit as ongoing
