Visual Effects | Virtual Production Supervisor | Cinematographer | Governor VFX @ TV Academy | Founding Member CCAI - Creators Coalition on AI | SMPTE RIS chair
Stoked to have been Supervising the American Society of Cinematographers (ASC) @AmericanCine StEM3-VP Project to the (ASWF) Digital Production Example Library (DPEL). This has been a long effort by many the resources are open source for the industry. https://t.co/azdLhpjdXA
@MonsterDew_ Having used every tool on that list which arenโt generative based since the AI tech leans on ML sets being procedural, deterministic & captured Iโd say sausage has a label. Funny how that never ruined the sausage.
So by this thinking Tim why are you afraid of disclosure ? You use rating labels as does the whole industry across games, film & TV to help inform. That information lets the consumer decide. Will that mean an Epic dev or partner who decides to not use GENAI will be treated less ?
@VFXCentral Loaded statement ha. Big thing what do you want to do with it. Previs, kitbash assets for sims, ICVFX ? lots of resources to point to depending on what you want to use it for.
@aeter8num@GeneratorRexy@TimSweeneyEpic Maps are among the most labeled things we have. As methods changed the credits & labels details grew. Cartography is one of the best arguments for provenance.
@LincolnMargison@TimSweeneyEpic@GeneratorRexy Personally yes, as someone who works in games, film and TV I enjoy the process & how things came to be and as a person who buys games knowing this does affect what titles I support. I more likely to support art teams ,game devs & studios who hire talent vs just an agentic studio
@LincolnMargison@TimSweeneyEpic@GeneratorRexy Actually Adobe is confounder of Content credentials which attaches provenance metadata to its files with standard file type & GENAI. Google does it with Synth ID & Apple with Apple Reference Image. The disclosure tracks functions not brands.
@TimSweeneyEpic@GeneratorRexy Respectfully Tim thatโs a ctegory error. Voting history is a persons private belief. AI use is a fact about that product in the art assets, code etc you buy were made. Ingredients arenโt politics no matter how you spin it. Neither are credits, ratings & disclosures
Part of my fun gubernatorial @TelevisionAcad role is getting to share new technologies and storytelling solutions with educators teaching the next generation of filmmakers. Great day with over 65 colleges at the Academy media educators summit.
Spent the afternoon updating some of @AcademySwf@AmericanCine StEM3-VP assets to @UnrealEngine v5.8.3 loaded them up @Dell Pro Precision 7 w/ @nvidia RTX Blackwell. HDR pipeline with the UktraSharp 4K QD-OLED. Running MegaLights, CCRโs on heavy ICVFX shots. #DellProPrecision
Should read - hype wagon CEO who has zero production experience & hasnโt worked with actors makes outlandish claims for vested interest to hype his platform.
AI Could โAbsolutelyโ Replace Human Actors, CEO of Generative AI Startup Runway Says at Italy's View Conference: 'It's Already Happening in a Way' https://t.co/xD6buhuuE4
@Variety Tell me again about the CEO who has no production experience has never worked with actors or on films, and likes to claim something every time someone gives him a mic.
