What is Vanity AI?

Vanity AI is a VFX tool. Vanity AI by MARZ is a Hollywood-grade VFX service for 2D aging, de-aging, digital makeup, wig and prosthetic fixes, delivered through a managed pipeline that the studio says runs up to 300 times faster than traditional workflows.

Vanity AI is a production-ready visual effects tool built by MARZ (Monsters Aliens Robots Zombies) to handle 2D aging, de-aging, beautification, wig fixes and prosthetic cleanups for film and television. The pitch is narrow and deliberate: a small set of face and makeup tasks that traditionally consume artist weeks can be produced at volume, with the studio claiming output up to 300 times faster than conventional VFX pipelines and no capacity ceiling on how many shots it can absorb. The underlying claim is anatomical rather than cosmetic. De-aging is framed as an understanding of how a face actually changes with age, not a filter that smooths skin, and that framing is why the company positions itself around high-profile cast members whose likenesses audiences know intimately. Testimonials from a VFX supervisor and a VFX producer on Jack Ryan and The Old Man stress that performances survive the process, which is the real test for this class of work. In practice Vanity AI is not self-serve software. The published workflow starts with MARZ ingesting client plates, then a collaborative look development phase where the required appearance is agreed with the client. Artists then apply Vanity AI to complete shots that stay consistent with that approved look, the studio runs its own QC on every output before anything ships, and delivery follows. A single frame can be dialed in and then propagated, which is where the time savings come from. That makes it a fit for studios, VFX supervisors and producers with episodic or feature volume who need de-aging or digital cosmetic work on a schedule, and a poor fit for individual editors looking for a plugin. Compared with general video generation tools, Vanity AI is a specialist service wrapped around proprietary technology and a human finishing team, not a creative toy. Pricing is quoted per project through a contact form, and no public plan tiers or trial terms are published on the site.

  2. 2Send plates for ingestion
    Once engaged, MARZ ingests the client plates. Providing clean, well-labeled footage at this stage sets up everything that follows.
  3. 3Agree the look with the team
    Look development is a joint step: the MARZ team works with the client to define the target appearance, whether that is a younger face, a cosmetic cleanup or a wig fix.
  4. 4Review shots completed with Vanity AI
    Artists apply Vanity AI to produce shots that stay aligned with the approved look, adjusting parameters on a frame and carrying that setting through the sequence.
  5. 5Receive QC-approved delivery
    Every output is quality checked internally before it is sent to the client, so the delivered material arrives as finished shots rather than draft passes.
