In this work, we present Multiface, a new multi-view, high-resolution human face dataset collected from 13 identities at Reality Labs Research for neural face rendering. We introduce Mugsy, a large scale multi-camera apparatus to capture high-resolution synchronized videos of a facial performance. The goal of Multiface is to close the gap in accessibility to high quality data in the academic community and to enable research in VR telepresence. Along with the release of the dataset, we conduct ablation studies on the influence of different model architectures toward the model's interpolation capacity of novel viewpoint and expressions. With a conditional VAE model serving as our baseline, we found that adding spatial bias, texture warp field, and residual connections improves performance on novel view synthesis. 2022: Cheng-hsin Wuu, N.

This episode features the Dad-Daughter duo, Becky Thompson and Dr. Mark Pitts, co-authors of Midnight Dad Devotional: 100 Devotions and Prayers to Connect Dads Just Like You to the Father. Men will be encouraged to learn how God is with them through their parenting journey, in all seasons of life, and will be strengthened in their resolve to become the best father they can be.    Dr. Meg & Guests Becky Thompson & Dr. Mark Pitts (Part 1) Dr. Mark Pitts explains how fathering seems to have moved from being rooted in relationship and connection with their kids to becoming more of a utilitarian role – provider and protector, sans any real relationship. A father's role is often scaled down to tasks – disciplinarian, driver, coach, homework checker, money lender. Yet Dr. Pitts is finding that more and more men desire a return to being in true relationship with their children and they want to know how they can develop a deeper connection and long-lasting bond with their kids.   Dr. Meg & Guests Becky Thompson & Dr. Mark Pitts (Part 2) Becky Thompson and Dr. Mark Pitts share further insights from Midnight Dad Devotional, explaining how the daily devotions give men a sense of connection with other fathers, strength for the day ahead, wisdom from the Bible for tough situations, affirmation of the importance of their role, and the reassurance that God is with them, no matter what.   FROM THE PRODUCER Thanks for listening to Episode 158, “Midnight Dad Devotional” and for helping Dr. Meg's parenting revolution reach more than SIX MILLION downloads!

You know, I think there is an encouragement deficit in our world today. We hear all the time how we can improve this or how we should stop doing that. But less often we get caught doing something right! Just a simple pat on the back goes a long way. And, you know who I think could really use some encouragement? Men. I want to be part of building up the men in my life and I know you do too. So, on today's podcast, we will hear from the authors of Midnight Dad. Dr. Mark Pitts and Becky Thompson get real practical about how to encourage a dad, how a man can find the wisdom he needs from Scripture and how men can resolve to be the best fathers they can be. This is such a powerful conversation, and I can't wait for you to hear it! SHOW NOTES: 413Podcast.com/166

The Billboard Charting Hip Hop Emcee & Entertainment Attorney Feat. Tracey Lee Esq, In this episode Durell is joined by hip-hop artist and entertainment attorney Tracey Lee Esq. Durell and Tracey begin the episode sharing how they got connected via New Skool Rules. Durell and Tracey talk about the importance of being global and that hip-hop emcees who are real street with their lyrics are able to have a platform like New Skool Rules that gives an opportunity and a platform to be seen and heard from all around the world. Durell shares that he's always been told that most entertainment attorneys are former disgruntled artists but what makes Tracey different is that he still makes great music. Tracey shares that most indie artists are underrepresented because they are forced to be their own record label and play all the roles that come along with pursuing a career in music. Tracey and Durell talk about indie creatives who actually need the structure of a record label, but even with the help of a label artists need to have a strong working knowledge of how the music business works. Durell shares that he doesn't look at the indie creatives that he personally manages as his clients but more as family. Tracey shares that he was first introduced to music by his mother listening to Gospel music. Tracey says that his mother also listened to a lot of R&B which he really enjoyed and then he started playing drums in church. He shares that he remembers trying to direct the choir around the age of 3, and eventually the pastor brought him to the front and had them both directing. Tracey says that's when the bug to have all eyes on him really began. He said the first time he heard “Rappers Delight” is when he really began to develop a love for hip-hop. He shares that Melle Mel is the first emcee that introduced him to lyrical rap, which he connected to because of what he was seeing in his neighborhood as a young kid. He then heard T La Rock and fell in love with his descriptive wordplay and LL Cool J who brought the energy and swagger to hip-hop. Tracey knew after these experiences that he wanted to pursue rap in a real way. He shares that he would send demos to record companies trying to get a record deal all the way up through high school. He shares that he graduated from high school and although he loved music he had another passion which was sports. He decided on Howard University because he wanted to study mass communications and become a color commentator.Tracey shares that he only lasted in mass communications for one semester and then he eventually met Deric “D-Dot” Angelettie & Ron Lawrence. They both were heavy into music and found out that Tracey had a talent in rap and eventually brought the passion back for music. He shares that even though he ultimately graduated and got his degree he was fully back in the pursuit of trying to get a record deal. He shares that the great thing about going to Howard University was that there were so many great connections made that ultimately helped to set the table for what was to come. Tracey talks about getting a taste of the indie music hustle when he and a couple of his friends from college started an indie record label and cut a maxi single and that's where he learned about the different layers of the music business. Tracey shares that he inked his first record deal with Mark Pitts & his record label Bystorm Entertainment. The record deal was for about 5 albums. Durell and Tracey talk about what it means to get an advance from a record label as well as how royalties are paid out. Tracey talks about what it means to have to recoup the initial advance and why many artists never do so because of the large amount of debt that is accrued to the label. Tracey shares that his debut album “Many Facez” was released in 1997. Durell asked Tracey about the album making process back then and what that process was like. He shares that after he recorded the single “The Theme (It's Party Time)”and went to work it in New York it was a bit rough because being from Philadelphia he didn't run in the most common circles and the fact that he was able to get a verse and cosign from Biggie there were some that didn't like that too much. He said the single didn't really pop until DJ Red Alert started playing the single and it caught some legs. The label wanted to capitalize and so because Tracey had a lot of quality songs that were on his original demo, the label took quite a bit of those and put his album together. The album was titled “Many Facez '' because a lot of the songs represented the different types of moods Tracey would be in when making the songs. Tracey shares about his experiences working with hip hop icons Busta Rhymes and Kanye West. He says that Kanye is the same type of person he is now back then. Durell and Tracey talk about him not ever getting the opportunity to go overseas when he had his record deal and even today finding that he has fans in a few different countries overseas. He shares that he is looking forward to getting the opportunity to be able to do some tour dates in those territories and touch those people. Tracey and Durell end the episode talking about why he decided to pivot and go to law school to become an entertainment attorney. Tracey shared the first trigger on why he decided to go to law school was his bad experiences in the music business. He talks about when he first signed his deal he didn't hire an entertainment attorney, instead opting to hire a corporate attorney who had no experience in the nuances of the entertainment business. He shares that the second trigger in why he decided to become an attorney is the fact that when he first moved to New York to work on his album, he lost his contract and called his attorney and never heard from him. The final trigger was when he went back to the label after hiring a new lawyer and in his original contract where he was supposed to receive a $10,000 check from his publishing portion of his agreement and the label went back and changed the numbers and when he got the new contract it stated that he was supposed to now only get $1. He talks about being down to his last $7 going to church and putting it into the collection plate and then a couple weeks later getting a call letting him know that Universal had a check for him but didn't have an address to send it. He shares that he received a check for $7,000 and then a week later another check for $57,000. He knew then he wanted to be a light for artists who had found themselves in a similar situation to him and he could speak to the artistic side as well, having had success in his own right. Tracey shares that he passed the bar exam and has been a practicing licensed attorney since 2007. He has been able to help many artists coming up as well as some artists who have had very long and established careers such as Kelly Rowland, Solange Knowles and Eric Roberson and Algebra Blessett in the indie music community. Tracey shares that he has also spent time as an educator at Coppin State University where he taught classes on music business. He shares that his passion now is really to educate and if he were to have a real job that would be it especially because he does it naturally. Tracey also shares that he's a part of several industry associations and Durell asks about the diversity when it comes to his colleagues. He shares that when it comes to his home state of Washington D.C. he has seen a lot of diversity.For more information on Tracey Lee, please visit his website:https://www.traceyleemusic.com/

This week on A Waste of Time with ItsTheReal, we traveled to Los Angeles for an epic sit down with J. Cole's manager and Dreamville president Ib Hamad! Ib talks about moving to Queens from Paris, the second youngest of five children, with English his third language, finding his voice on the New York City basketball courts. We discuss coaching youth basketball, studying SportsCenter highlights each morning, fleeting thoughts of playing Division 1 college basketball, but ultimately ending up at St. Johns where he'd chase girls and befriend future multi-platinum rapper Jermaine Cole, who at that point barely admitted that he had rhymes. Ib goes through the early days, supporting his friend's musical ambitions at open mics, getting jobs together at call centers, knowing that they had album-ready songs, and eventually capturing the interest of the music industry: meetings with 50 Cent, Shady Records' Paul Rosenberg, and of course, Mark Pitts and Jay-Z. Ib takes us through how the "Dollar and a Dream" campaign started, how Dreamville started, the power of Cole's mixtapes, the many starts and stops Cole's early major label career went through, acting as a push-button DJ for Cole, the differences between the first and second albums, what the HBO series meant, and how exactly 2014 Forest Hills Drive came to be. All that plus stories about JID and Earth Gang, Bas and Cozz, why Interscope was the perfect label partner, who's nicer on the court between Cole and Ib, and much, much more!

Callywood Live with Zach Savage Zach Savage was born in a small town in Northern Louisiana. He was adopted as an infant by a southern Baptist Minister and his family. Growing up in Louisiana proved to have its challenges. When Zach was three years old he began playing the drums and singing gospel music. As the years passed he continued to write and play music. By this time he’d learned to play several other instruments extremely well.  As he got older things changed again for Zach. He discovered HIP HOP music and he embraced it. He thought he had to be in the streets and doing drugs, living the lifestyle he assumed represented the culture. He started hanging out and doing drugs. And the drugs got him into trouble. He was given the option of going to Angola State Prison, the military or leaving the state for California. If he chose California he could never return to his home town. Zach chose California. When he landed in Cali, he started to play music again. This time he connected with likeminded people who were into music and philanthropy.  He felt he was finally home. As he continued to play and write music more people recognized that he was special, that he truly had a gift. A gift that was so undeniable he was signed by Mark Pitts at RCA. Zach lives in Los Angeles with his own family now. He continues to play and write music daily. If he is not feeding the homeless, he is painting, sketching, writing or rehearsing. “I know God has given me another opportunity to share my art. I want to do good things with my life,” says Zach.
