Oddbean new post about login | logout I'm getting kind of sick of seeing slideshows with slight movement called films.
suppose it's more of a taster of what is to come, but yeah I get your point. Still it worked for La Jetee and that didn't even have slight movement, apart from panning across still images:)
Once they figure out a way to ensure some sort of consistency between shots, then it will get a lot easier to actually tell a story.
Corridor Digital made good progress with that and made a little short with it, the films being made with machine learning generators right now will probably be looked back on in a similar way to the early experiments in film or digital video where it was just technicians filming random stuff to get it working & strange artists with ideas for how to use the tech within its experimental limitations
A bit on the negative side, but this was a good dive into the subject. https://youtu.be/aC99lNQdNmA?si=ofnxTMogiiIq0EL3
Too long. Simple reality is I was never gonna start paying corporate studios for their work & being able to make better stuff myself with AI isn't going to be the thing that changes my mind
Will watch later but I think perhaps partly the interest behind 'Lazy AI film making' is that a lot of film making made by humans feels just as lazy. AI films are pastiches collaged, but so is a lot of the crap around today (not everything obviously) so it doesn't really take a leap of faith to imagine the slop being replaced by AI slop.
All movies are slideshows with music over them. Sorry for being pedantic.
Check this one out. It's rough, but more than just a slideshow: https://youtu.be/N_Nvr4ztBXs?si=cexli6_wt2pG38cF
