Bringing Impressionism to Life with Neural Style Transfer in Come Swim

Bhautik Joshi, Kristen Stewart, David Shapiro

Abstract

Neural Style Transfer is a striking, recently-developed technique that uses neural networks to artistically redraw an image in the style of a source style image. This paper explores the use of this technique in a production setting, applying Neural Style Transfer to redraw key scenes in 'Come Swim' in the style of the impressionistic painting that inspired the film. We document how the technique can be driven within the framework of an iterative creative process to achieve a desired look, and propose a mapping of the broad parameter space to a key set of creative controls. We hope that this mapping can provide insights into priorities for future research.

    • I might be wrong, and I don't want to question the possibility that someone from a non-technical domain can contribute to technical domains (in particular because neural networks and style transfer are basically high school mathematics; and since this happened before [1]), but…
