Evoking the nostalgia of classics like E.T. and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Sweden’s Watch the Skies has officially debuted in U.S. theaters.
The thrilling film tells the story of a rebellious teen who is convinced that her UFO-hunting father, who vanished without a trace, was abducted by aliens. With the help of an eccentric UFO club, she sets off on a high-stakes adventure that defies the law and challenges our universe as we know it.
The world’s first full-length feature to use AI for visual dubbing
Unlike your typical dubbed film, which can often appear disjointed, Watch the Skies uses perfectly synchronized voice-overs to deliver the film to English-speaking audiences seamlessly. A prime example of AI done right, Watch the Skies is filmmaker-friendly, SAG-aligned, and voice-over artist-friendly.
The English version of the movie is brought to life by XYZ Films and AI filmmaking studio, Flawless. Flawless’ unique filmmaking technology revolutionizes voice-over dubs without replacing human talent. In other words, the company uses real voice actors, but implements AI to modify the actors’ lip movements. No synthetic audio has been used in the adaptation of the film.
The result? A visually stunning rendition of Watch the Skies that breaks language barriers and enhances global accessibility. Learn more via this behind-the-scenes glimpse at Flawless’ process.
