A personalized generative experience powered by deepfake, machine learning and your Spotify listening data. 










Concepted at the beginning of Covid, virtual experiences, and social isolation, comes an intimate listening experience with The Weeknd for his fans. 

The Weeknd had just launched his new album and cancelled his tour due to the pandemic. We wanted to create a connection between the artist and fans by having The Weeknd commenting on their personal listening habits, and talking with them.

I managed our team across
6 countries / 8 cities / 6 timezones / and launched in 6 weeks while fully remote 🚀️





I directed Jam3’s first fully remote shoot and new production with our production partner in Montreal. 

With remote shooting and deepfake video, combined with AI-powered audio, we created a digital version of The Weeknd. With limited footage and using webGL, we pushed technology to its limits to bring a unique experience for every user that has listened to The Weeknd on Spotify, in a way that has never been done before.




✨️ THE RESULT 

The first brand to merge deepfake video, AI-powered audio, wild vfx, webGL, and user data to create a unique experience for each user.
