Messi and Ronaldo’s rivalry reaches AI skateboarding

Elias Stevenson, a specialist in special effects with artificial intelligence, has Messi and Ronaldo skating, while Lebron James performs tricks on a BMX.

In February, Elias Stevenson posted a video of  Neymar Jr. dressed in the Al-Hilal shirt skating. He took an original video from another skater and with his knowledge in effects and artificial intelligence, he changed the character. And it worked so well that he has got others involved.

The new star video has come with Lionel Messi. In this case with an original clip of the most successful skater currently in competition: Nyjah Huston. Recorded at the University of Miami, the Argentine World Cup winner is seen wearing the shirt of his current club, Inter Miami.

Given those above, Cristiano Ronaldo could not be missing. First he was used doing cliff diving, but now also skating. The AI has him in the colours of current team Al-Nassr with the use of an original video one of TJ Rogers on the street.

Stevenson has also gone to the NBA to create more videos, as seen above with Lebron James skating with an original video by Frenchman Aurelien Giraud in the Street League Skateboarding. And he also put the American in the shoes of Kevin Peraza with the Lakers shirted star on BMX.
