  • Only sure thing im seeing short long term is deceased actors appearing through this. So dont be surprised if Marlon Brando shows up on Superman 2

    Feel like for actual filmmaking, the thing you need to look at is what Jia Zhangke managed to put together in a couple days.

    Jia is one of the all time great Chinese directors, has a distinct voice and focus on China's rapid development and the problems stemming from it, and said he'd try out Seedance to see how it worked. This was his result and its not only a story you can follow, but retains his cinematic style pretty well, while serving as a reflection of AI in a convo between "AI Jia" and "real Jia" (both are AI) and reflections of his previous work

    Yeah I don't think ppl realize that AI should (and probably will/already is) be used for things that need to be specialized and fine tuned anyway. It's for removing busywork to focus on the things that require human input. I highly doubt anything "written" by ai would be if any quality, but an established director/writer coming up with a plan for a movie as normal but outsourcing the shooting, VFX, continuity? That has potential to still be good. People were always going to get priced out of these equations anyway, that's how these industries are built. Sure, in a perfect world, directors would hire the best crew, shoot it, and call it a day. But there's much more to consider once you bring the producers and the production companies in with their budgetary demands, product control, etc. LET ALONE when people within the same profession get competitive and start undercutting each other's prices to jump at the opportunity presented. This kinda HAS THE POTENTIAL TO remove some of those roadblocks but again, people will suffer in the process. It just goes with the ever evolving nature of the industry

    i think the idea that AI can do everything and theres no need to focus on traditional methods is very shortsighted, people who learn how to merge the two will be the most successful

    I agree. The problem is , not a lot of smart people are actually making our movies nowadays. CGI is very expensive so I can see movie companies leaning on AI to cut costs but also lower the quality of their work.

    We are already seeing this in the video game industry. Cutting edge image tools to cover up the inadequacy of the video game being developed.

    You see it in the cars, they got rear cameras , crash sense technology, and everything inside it feels cheap and plasticy.

    American business has problem thinking better technology automatically means better quality product. Silly

    well no this wont happen lol

    I feel like that's the bare minimum of what's going to happen tho. Maybe not the "focus more on quality" part but absolutely reducing budgets. James Cameron spoke on that quite a bit during Avatar rollout. Whether he's being naive is another convo but he tends to weild massive influence on future of VfX

    If we want to continue to see the kinds of movies that I’ve always loved and that I like to make and that I will go to see — ‘Dune,’ ‘Dune: Part Two,’ or one of my films or big effects-heavy, CG-heavy films — we’ve got to figure out how to cut the cost of that in half. Now that’s not about laying off half the staff and at the effects company. That’s about doubling their speed to completion on a given shot, so your cadence is faster and your throughput cycle is faster, and artists get to move on and do other cool things and then other cool things, right? That’s my sort of vision for that.”

    I think its good from a social perspective because it moves entertainment away from being monopolized by corporations

    These "corporations" are comprised of real people. My uncle has been working in hollywood for decades looking for his big break. If ai just swoops in and deads his career path thats not a good thing. Plus we dont need a tsunami of s***ty mediocre ai generated movies

    Same thing goes for music. Am i with a decade of experience now obsolete to some ai software? How is that a good thing? I think your perspective is pretty naive

    Its my hopeful guess but at the end of the day they gon cut costs on vfx and cgi stuff

    It takes a huge amount of intelligence and experience to do vfx. Do you hope that artists who devoted their lives to the craft lose their jobs?

    I don’t doubt that there are talented people out there who can make great films with AI.

    well honestly I mean it in the sense of, there won't be fully generated GOOD ai films without a team of artists/producers/actors making it. Sure there will be ai going forward, especially in stuff like action sequences, but full GOOD movies without a human team overseeing it? I doubt it.

    I'm not counting slop which will undoubtedly come from it when I'm talking about above.

    Nope. Never said that in fact im actually against it, but its the thing thats going to sadly happen

    Maybe, hopefully it just makes their job easier instead of fully replacing them

  • relapsed bisexual

    beyond AI being used for special effects and other things of the sort, nah

    most people are already done with AI and do not want to engage with AI 'art' knowingly

    These corporations water down art themselves more than AI ever could. Commodification doesnt mean better art

  • magine thinking AI films look good when currently even human tailored CGI is painfully obvious and tacky

  • Some amount of people already watch fake movies/shows made by humans. It's not much of a pivot for them. But everything I've seen looks like a tech demo with dream physics. Set pieces exclusively. And maybe the stuff matures to where it can be used for that purpose.

    But there's some level of hallucination built into the thing. Continuity is actually really important to filmmaking. I've heard that's simply unavoidable. Perhaps it can be overcome through revision.

    Citing short form autoplay content is all you need to know really. It's for morons who don't care about art.

    if y’all dnt see the insane improvements in ai video the last couple of years idk what to tell u

    You’re going to want to watch AI films? Honest question

  • Freight

    Maybe if you’re a moron

  • The only reason this is true is because a part of masses are idiots and have little taste, I doubt there will be any fully AI art made or consumed at the level of Hollywood movies, but I’m sure at least 80% of them will have some type of AI used in them inevitably.

    However small scale online s*** and in advertising it’s possible, the amount of ads I see on tv while watching sports that are fully AI is crazy. Most of them are extremely bad, but most ppl over the age of 40 either can’t tell or just don’t care. I feel like heavy anti-AI rhetoric is mainly coming from a younger crowd (millennials and a bit of Gen Z) at the moment.

  • AI is kind of shockingly good at producing electronic music. Like house music which has a pretty standard formula for structure and rhythm - listening to some of them, I don’t know how you’d be able to tell if it was made by AI or by a human.

    tbh ive been ready for that for a minute, but im genuinely starting to believe the majority simply dont want it

    maybe im delusional and wrong, but im willing to eat the L on this
