A few years ago, I discovered a fascinating Facebook group called “The Model That Appears in All the Ads.” The group is dedicated to sharing ads featuring the well-known stock photo model, Ariane. Intrigued by this concept, I decided to take it a step further.

Using both my creativity and technical skills, I began by scraping the photos collected by the group and found several other communities and websites with similar content. I processed the images with an AI facial recognition tool to ensure smooth transitions between different faces. After some final tweaks in editing software, I was excited to share the final results of this creative experiment.

A few weeks after publishing it, the project went viral, especially since it was covered on Yahoo Japan. To my surprise, Ariane herself contacted me, requesting changes to the video title and description. She even dedicated a personal photo to me, which I verified to ensure it was genuinely from her and not an imposter.
