- Remote co-direction, post-production
This hero video for the HBO series Bezvědomí set out to capture public attention, both to promote the show and to highlight the fragile status of truth in today's media. It was one of the first deepfakes ever used in advertising, and it earned 8 European Art Directors Club awards, including the Grand Prix.
I couldn't attend the shoot, so I supported director Jan Vlasák remotely, with Alex Jindrák assisting me. The project was mainly a technical and post-production challenge, since none of us had worked with deepfake technology before.
