Re: Trailers on youtube
 

It wouldn't be bad if they specifically state in the video title that it's fake. A lot of times, it says "official". Because nobody reads the descriptions where it says Trailer Concept.

Re: Trailers on youtube
 

Or the descriptions don't show up on social media where my friends usually see them.

This is pretty awesome:

I had been playing that song a lot on my headset whilst on the clock. :lol:

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

It's very catchy!

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Disco? This actually looks and sounds like something that would have been used to promote the movie in 1979!

Blitzed Frodo is the best part.

The track used is a legit disco track. It's from Meco:

As for AI music videos, not disco but I really enjoy this one:

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Here's my problem with these music videos: there's no unifying structure or logic. They're all just a series of random, unrelated shots with nothing tying them together beyond a similar aesthetic. Like in that Gollum rock one, just exactly how many guitarists are in this band? Is Frodo the lead singer or is Gollum? And all the characters not playing instruments, are they in the same bar/club? Are they in different spaces? What do they even have to do with any of the rest of it besides being people in rock-ish clothes?

I mean it's kind of cool what the technology is capable, but just imagine if it was applied with any amount of actual creativity. As it is, these things are mostly just a single fleeting idea/joke stretched out to 6 minutes.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

At the current moment most of the best AI-derived videos are when the creator stitches together several shorter clips made by separate prompts. The current AI doesn't seem to have the ability forming more than 10-20 second clips without becoming repetitive or incoherent.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

The creator posted a sped-up video of his workflow to make that video.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Nintendo plans on making this for real, right?



It's not very good, but at least it makes me want a legitimate live action Metroid movie.

Ha. There were probably 30,000 animators working on the prequels. Now it's done with a guy, all the electric in the Bay Area, and a hundred million gallons of water!

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Not a trailer but a short, and a pretty impressive one.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

So guess what you get when you place AI in the hands of a “visionary” filmmaker like Darren Aronofsky and a venerated media giant like Time Magazine.

More AI slop. -rolleyes-

Plastic faces, uncanny valley, medium close-ups galore, everyone centred or positioned according to the golden rule, constant one-second cuts so you can’t focus too long. It’s almost tiresome at this point.

Considering all the hubbub surrounding Aronofsky’s high-profile embrace of AI as if only Hollywood craftspeople could truly work wonders with if, unlike mere commoners, it’s pretty obvious that anyone could have made these (as illustrated by several recent videos posted above). I’m definitely not seeing anything here that makes Aronofsky’s (or his team of prompters’) use of the tools any different than anyone else’s. At a fundamental level, it all looks the same.

The voices are real in these because of union rules.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

I guess this is the appropriate place to bring this up...

Has anyone noticed that the History Channel is using a lot of AI in their shows recently? History Unearthed with Danny Trejo, History's Deadliest with Ving Rhames, and Monsterquest all run with a disclaimer that they have AI generated content.

Okay, granted that Monsterquest is bullshit, but it's kind of off-putting to watch things documenting actual history that use fake AI-generated footage. And they don't label the AI footage, either, so you're not really sure if you're seeing AI, a re-entacment, stock footage, or actual historical footage. Programs like these have always used re-enactments (often times labeled as "dramatization" or such) and stock footage, but now it feels like it's a sort of melange of sources that jumbles reality.

But I guess I shouldn't expect better from the people that brought us277 and counting episodes of Ancient Aliens and bunch of the-world-will-end-in-2012 documentaries.

The age of Skynet is nigh, because the "AI slop" is getting better.

The Tom Cruise/Brad Pitt fig he was interesting but that was weird to throw Epstein in there. :lol:

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Been going through a rabbit hole of these. This 4-way comparison is really interesting.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Hollywood as we know it is about to get destroyed. We are about 5 to 7 years away from a movie made almost entirely by AI that ends up being one of the year's top-ten highest grossing films.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

People who delivered ice and milk, people who made horse & buggy wheels or people who made carburetors said the same thing. Stuff evolves and normalizes. Will there be some movies made of AI entirely? Yep. Will that eliminate great movies or actors or producers? Nope... I view it as a tool to make a good thing better, deliver the creative visions they maybe didn't have time or money for.

Re: AI Trailers: 1950s Super Panavision 70
 

Also remember that AI (for now) can only "create" what it already knows. So unless it knows what Brad Pitt looks like, it can't recreate him. And the only reason it knows is because he's been filmed. Same with something like Iron Man. You can't tell an AI to make a movie with Iron Man if it doesn't know what Iron Man in the movies looks like. Someone still has to make that first.

What I think we'll actually see before a "Hollywood movie" is fan movies that are much higher in quality. Before the new X-Men specific trailer for Avengers: Doomsday officially came out, I saw multiple AI versions that I totally would have bought as the real thing except for a few little quirks that clued me in to the fact they weren't real. That's what we'll see more of.

It is quite impressive how quickly the tech has improved.
