The biggest problem for me is that the mouth movements seem completely off.
I think that's because they used the original fake to make the deepfake. If they had used an actual actor (with a completely different face but accurate mouth movement) I think it would have been spot on.
It's off on both sides, but to me it looks more off on the deepfake side
That's been an issue for all CGI, I guess our ability to spot even the slightest imperfection in how mouths look has us well stuck in the uncanny valley
The firs comment on the video says it would be better if they had access to the original video and not just the original fake.
