You�ve probably seen many examples of Photoshop being used to make a portrait subject look younger, but have you seen the same type of age-reduction retouching in real-time video?
Digital artist Rousselos Aravantinos recently did an age-reduction test using the digital compositing software Nuke and Mocha Pro. The 30-second video above shows the results of his experiment.
�I�ve decided not to apply any facial markers, to challenge myself (and make my life more difficult). It�s a 100% work in 2D space,� the Los Angeles-based artist writes. �There are a few things i would like to improve, but I felt like it was time to move on.�
The original video is a short moving portrait of actress Michele Valley shot with a Nikon V1 mirrorless camera. You may not think that Aravantinos� de-aging work looks completely realistic, but it�s an interesting look at what one person can do these days using the latest software tools available out there.

Started out doing photography at the age of 6 using an uncle's old 1940 kodak brownie box camera. At 15 years of age, I decided to buy my very own 1975 Praktica SLR camera. I now shoot with a Nikon D850. I do unpaid TFP and commercial paid work.
