Deepfake technology is already impressive (as well as scary), but the technology will inevitably get better and more refined. You can scour YouTube for some amazing videos using the AI program for some funny videos and hypothetical casting visions. Well, Variety is now reporting that the creators of South Park, Trey Parker and Matt Stone, are now set to open their own deepfake visual effects studio.
According to the company’s statement, the tech will be used to “accelerate Deep Voodoo’s development of its leading deepfake technology, cost-effective visual effects services and original synthetic media projects.” And Stone added, “We stumbled upon this amazing technology and ended up recruiting the best deepfake artists in the world. We are psyched to share their brilliance with the Hollywood creative community.”

Deep Voodoo, the new company of “South Park” creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, has raised 20 million in a new funding campaign through Connect Ventures — the partnership between CAA and Vc firm New Enterprise Associates.
The pair’s AI entertainment startup, under their Park County holding firm, aims to contribute to the incorporation of deep fake technology — the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning to change character faces — into the entertainment industry through creation of a new platform for artists, creators, producers and others to explore the developing processes.
Parker and Stone have previously used deep fake technology in their web series “Sassy Justice” to parody Mark Zuckerberg, Donald Trump and other public figures.
Deep Voodoo’s work also appeared earlier this year in Kendrick Lamar’s “The Heart Part 5” music video.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone’s AI studio Deep Voodoo said Wednesday that it has secured a 20 million in an investment round led by Connect Ventures. The South Park creators’ startup said it will use the capital to accelerate its development of deep-fake technology, VFX services and original synthetic media projects.
Connect Ventures is an investment partnership between CAA and venture capital firm New Enterprise Associates and represents the first outside capital raise for Deep Voodoo, which was previously funded by Parker and Stone’s entertainment company Park County.
Parker and Stone originally began building out their deep fake technology in early 2020, assembling a team of artists for a feature film they had developed. When the film was suspended amid the Covid shutdown, they pivoted to building out those deep-fake tools.
Deep Voodoo has since begun offering its face-swapping visual effects to artists, producers, and creators worldwide.
