Update: (July 7) The Secret of How Elvis Appeared on American Idol
This clip from Good Morning America covers the secret of using the technique of rotoscoping, where Elvis is cut out frame by frame of a movie clip allowing Elvis Presley to sing a duet with Celine Dion on American Idol. AI went far from the green screen. It’s a basic idea and is presented without incomprehensible technical commentaries.
Where's Pat Paulsen when you finally need him?
What an incredible duet with Celine and Elvis, it’s a beautiful performance.
