Licensed digital counterparts of real talent.

Built like cinema. Held in custody. Every frame consented.

For productions, agencies, and the talent they cast

100% on-prem weights never leave custody Provenance by design built to carry C2PA credentials Consent on file scoped, revocable, in writing Finished by hand VFX compositing and film grade, not raw AI output

We build a curated dataset of a real actor, train the model they approve and license, and a single shoot becomes endless campaign content.

01 / What we do

Models change every month. Datasets do not.

We build identity datasets, the models trained on them, and the systems around them.

That is what we certify: the dataset, the consent, how and where they can be used.

The Cataloguer / dataset curation: coverage measured, gaps named
Orchestration / variants versioned, queued, promoted to keeper
Shot direction / scene briefs to approved takes

Real production, not a demo: shot direction ran the shots of The Chronicles of Jecchetto, a narrative short with Marco Rocchi.

AI can produce any likeness in one click. We use it to produce real identities: consented, contracted, licensed for the work. That is the difference.

And not only a face: hands, body, movement, expression, reproduced accurately. The way they perform, preserved.

02 / The work

TAKE.

A spec campaign for a fictional fragrance.

No camera, no location, one real licensed actor, cinema finish, full VFX pipeline including utility passes and film grade, produced end to end on local hardware.

Breakdown frame: the graded shot wiping to its normals pass

The spot and its breakdown, pass by pass. Generated entirely on local machines with the licensed digital counterpart of actor Marco Rocchi. He approved every frame.

TAKE product frame, anamorphic

TAKE / packshot / product still from the same pipeline, same grade

The campaign system

One shoot becomes a system. Wardrobe, sets and lighting are parameters.

TAKE / vertical cut / same master, same system
Campaign collage: a labelled real photograph of Marco Rocchi, six wardrobe poses, the garment stills, four lighting environments, and two detail crops showing skin and a hand, all from one identity master
One real actor. One wardrobe. Every pose, every light. Detail holds at full scale.

Anyone can relight a face in a browser now. This is not that: same master, seed-locked, reproducible next month, run entirely on our hardware.

DPT-MR-001 / campaign system / poses, wardrobe, light: parameters, not reshoots. Skin and hands examined close.

03 / Services

Designed per engagement.

Your system. Your terms.

We bring real people into AI: consented, licensed, in custody. And we keep AI a creative tool in professional hands, not a closed system producing sloppy sameness.

When a production wants the tool itself, we build it: local, cloud or hybrid, under your control.

You pay for the system, not for every frame it generates.

Creative agencies & brands: the campaign system

You have a campaign and a face that said yes. We build the licensed identity and a generation workflow tuned to it: wardrobe, sets and lighting become parameters. Your team produces on-brand stills and motion. We maintain the system. You own the flow.

TAKE. One actor, one system, a full campaign, zero reshoots.

Film, TV, VFX & games: the production identity

Performer identity masters built from set data at production grade: continuity work, face-for-face sequences, previz doubles. Engine-ready for game and real-time production. Deployed inside your security perimeter when the show demands it.

First production identity dataset delivered for a feature film, 2026.

Talent agencies & management: the roster vault

Your contracts, your commissions, your relationships. We supply the technical layer underneath: identity masters of your actors, held in custody, with the approvals, certificates and provenance that make each licensing deal real.

Your paper, our pipeline.

On request

The 3D counterpart.

A production-topology head built from curated capture of the actor and delivered as a MetaHuman-ready rigged asset: joints, blend shapes and LODs, ready for grooms and wardrobe. Ready to light, animate and shoot in engine. A control layer for AI-generated video, for VFX, and for real-time and game work.

DPT-MR-001 / rigged head / expressions and lighting driven live in engine. Preview shown with stock groom and wardrobe. One reconstruction step runs on a specialised external service, named in the delivery manifest and covered by the talent's consent.

Finishing.

Compositing, grade and final delivery, on request. Custom needs, custom quote.

Never on offer: weight transfers, unconsented likenesses, undisclosed synthetic media, real-time impersonation.
