REVIZE ORIGINS
Built to solve real production challenges.
Beginning with early machine learning development at Rising Sun Pictures (RSP) in 2018, REVIZE brought production artists together with senior AI and machine learning researchers to solve demanding face-replacement challenges. What began with specific needs has continued to evolve through increasingly complex work, expanding into full-head and body replacement, de-aging, performance refinement, image reconstruction and inpainting, and other production-ready workflows.
REVIZE has evolved through major productions including Michael, Mickey 17, Sinners, Wicked: For Good, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, Thor Love and Thunder, and Elvis. Today, its proven capabilities are shared across Pitch Black, drawing on expertise across Rising Sun Pictures, FOLKS, El Ranchito, and Square One.

TALK TO REVIZE
Troy Tobin, Head of REVIZE (Research and Innovation)
REVIZE starts with the challenge, not the technology. Our artists, researchers, and technical specialists work together to assess the strongest approach – whether that means applying an existing capability, adapting a workflow or developing something new.
Each solution is developed around creative intent, image quality, and artistic control, within secure production environments and in line with client requirements around data, intellectual property, likeness, and approved technologies.
