About Wombo

Wombo (stylized as WOMBO) is a Canadian image manipulation mobile app released in 2021 that uses a provided selfie to create a deepfake of a person lip-synced to a variety of songs. Although, it shut down on May 3rd, 2023, for copyright issues. WOMBO allows users to take a new or existing selfie and then select a song from a curated list to create a video that artificially moves the selfie's head and lips in synchrony with the song.[1][2] The app works for any and all images that resemble a face,[3] although it works best for three-dimensional characters where they are looking at the camera straight on.[4] These songs are usually related to internet memes, and included "Witch Doctor" and "Never Gonna Give You Up".[1] The head movements created are from existing choreography recorded by a performer who produces specific eye, face and head movements for each song,[3] and are mapped onto the inputted image through artificial intelligence being used to tag the parts of a human face.[4] All outputted videos include a large, obvious watermark, and aim not to look too much like the video is real. 3 piece band from Louisville KY
