@kbvm69 "That's a duck, not a dick" is one of his most underrated line deliveries ever. I don't know why that line has stuck with me all these years but he's just so fucking funny in this.

The Long Kiss Goodnight is an insanely underrated action movie

@Stunt_ManMik3 AMC needs to update their servers if one person trying to buy tickets crashes the app

Kung Pow was released 24 years ago and it's been long enough, we are owed the sequel NOW

@distortedron @DiscussingFilm Haven't seen this anime but that's pretty damn accurate lol

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@Kevingottabag @kynnigos I am befuddled just as much as you, my guy. Maybe even a more extra level of fuddled.

Everything about The Odyssey, right down to the smallest detail, feels at the least slightly off

I don't know how to describe it but it's like Christopher Nolan has succeeded in putting us in the uncanny valley without the use of AI (even though this poster feels AI generated)

@ElodiePenna I know a couple of guys who took ages to figure out how to animate and render their special effects for their space opera short film. I want to say a year, maybe more? I wonder if that duo today would use AI?

Have you thought about going to self-taught route?

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

Why is it a problem for some that Martin Scorsese uses AI as a tool for pre-visuals?

Another question: If you were on a shoestring budget, wouldn't you use AI to communicate your visual intent as efficiently as possible to your production team?

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@kbvm69 Dude! Matt's jack hand is thicc af lol holy shit

Calling it. This is AI.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@Derrah You're accusing me of something out of basic questions I'm asking? wtf hahaha Eat shit and live. Get the fuck out of here.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

You're stuck on the script? Why? I'm just asking what I think is a basic philosophical question here about preproduction, art, and AI.

Okay, let's say the director writes the script 100% organically. No AI.

What's the different between him dialing into AI some ideas for production design and pulling pictures off google for a mood board?

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@SkellyFreaks Some of my "storyboards" were just these rudimentary thumbnail sketches. Some no better than stick figures. Six thumbnails to a sheet. I can't draw worth a shit. Always heard about it from my cinematographer I usually partnered with. I got the concept across goddammit!

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@anchel_michel I was thinking about this when posting my questions - if I sit here during preproduction and I collaborate with nothing but AI, what I'm essentially doing is talking to a "yes machine". It's going to say yes to every concept I dial into it no matter how wild and out of pocket.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@Kriss_Kringl3 There's a certain human element severed using AI to create a storyboard. No collaboration effort, room for happy accidents, or pushback.

I'm thinking with AI on set or even preproduction things still aren't going to be so cheap and easy as promised.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

Yeah, budgets do get tight if your an indie filmmaker trying to get off the ground. Screenplay isn't the point. Throw that idea out. Just talking storyboards and visual concepts. What's the different between you dialing into AI some ideas for production design and pulling pictures off google for a mood board?

@KevGambleMusic Cheats happen in every movie but you have to be clever about it. This whole movie is starting to feel like one giant cheat.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@ElodiePenna Some things are in a gray haze sometimes a harsh line is drawn in. Some helmets where faces should be are crushed black, others gray. The bottom of his cape is in the haze, the top is well defined. There is really no one depth of field to this. All very odd.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@JMLFC14 I mean, you're not wrong big at least he was swinging big with some of them. This feels like he's stepping over home plate just to take a fastball to the face and give himself a concussion.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

"feels At the least slightly off"

Meaning all of it feels like a fucking disaster, even the most minute detail like the sea.

I can't pick out one good thing to lock on with this piece.

No actor, no bit of writing, no set piece...

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@Stunt_ManMik3 I think it was the ghost of Porkins just because anything terrible off screen I blame Porkins. Deus Ex Porkina filled with equal parts whimsy and terror.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@realdrunknpoet I have been paying attention and I wish I didn't. I know too much.

[CinemaCopa @CopaExMachina]

@titMcGrit2 I've almost lost all of mine, brother. I'm holding on to a long shot here.
