Deep Voodoo Sees AI as a Creative Partner for TV, Not a Threat
Deep Voodoo, the AI-focused outfit behind South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, uses licensed footage and custom AI models to produce deepfakes for film and TV, stressing consent and rights. With projects like Sassy Justice and high-profile de-aging work, they describe a rigorous on-set capture process and bespoke models, arguing AI can expand creativity—via de-aging, performance transfer, and faster, more location-light production—and could even reshape how South Park is made, all while upholding ethical guardrails.
