Electric Sheep is accelerating the Visual Effects (VFX) industry with cutting-edge AI technology.With a focus on speed, security and scale, we're streamlining Film/TV workflows. After years of camera to post experience for Netflix, Amazon and Disney among others, we saw an opportunity to take the challenges faced in VFX and leverage emerging AI technology to solve them.Thus Electric Sheep was born.The first step on our journey is rotoscoping. This is the process of "cutting out" foregrounds from backgrounds so special effects can be added. Rotoscoping is an essential step for practically all VFX workflows.This funding allows us to improve our output and add a crucial feature that has come up time and time again when talking with industry experts. For the industry it is essential the "cutting out" (rotoscoping) is consistent frame to frame - known as interframe consistency. This is typically hard for AI as it analyses each frame in silo. The next step on our journey is to teach our AI how to be consistent from frame to frame.Our mission is to allow artists to get back to what they do best - telling stories through creative, stunning and impactful visual effects.

电子羊正在以尖端的人工智能技术加速视觉特效（VFX）产业。专注于速度、安全性和规模，我们正在精简电影/电视工作流程。在Netflix、亚马逊（Amazon）和迪士尼（Disney）等公司积累了多年的镜头到后期制作经验后，我们看到了一个机会，可以应对视觉特效领域面临的挑战，并利用新兴的AI技术来解决这些问题。于是，电羊诞生了。我们旅程的第一步是转动显微镜。这是从背景中“剪切”前景的过程，这样可以添加特殊效果。对于几乎所有的视觉特效工作流程来说，旋转观察是必不可少的一步。这笔资金使我们能够提高我们的产量，并添加一个在与行业专家交谈时一再提到的关键功能。对于行业来说，“切割”（罗拉视镜）帧与帧之间的一致性是至关重要的-称为帧间一致性。这对于AI来说是非常困难的，因为它需要分析每个帧。我们旅程的下一步是教会我们的AI如何从一帧到另一帧保持一致。我们的使命是让艺术家回到他们最擅长的——通过创造性的、令人惊叹的和有影响力的视觉效果来讲述故事。
