Lights, Camera, Prompt

From prompt to premiere: tracking AI-made features on their way to theaters. The tech. The talent. The box office. You ain't seen nothing yet!

@ryo_nakajima Clever.

@LCPrompt iPhone: camera angles with a low-poly 3D train　　model. FX3: actor motion. Also used character and lighting references.

Oh wow. Sasha Baron Cohen brings the AI! NSFW! Seriously...NSFW!! This just proves that it's not about the tech. It's what you do with the tech. Although in this case it's both but that's what makes it work.

Sasha Baron Cohen zpět v plné formě.
Nový Ali G film je přesně takový, jak byste čekali, nekorektní až za hranice úplně všeho. 😂👍
V těhle 2 minutách dokáže urazit snad úplně všechny. 😅

Bangladesh's film board just cleared Gaap, billed as the country's first AI-powered film premiering on YouTube Oct 31. South Asian cinema already exports song, color and spectacle. AI makes those affoardable, so the script is what has to travel. Will it? https://t.co/q9LGGTASO1

PEQUENA MAQUINA, Episode 4 is out.

Dona Ayame’s plan finally comes into focus, and Bayma and João are walking straight into the lion’s den.

Friendship, greed, innocence, violence... and one last surprise waiting at the end.

Let’s just say the “pequena” in PEQUENA MAQUINA is becoming increasingly questionable.

Episode 4 is out now. Finale next.

AIはインディーズ映画の味方かも！

@PJaccetturo @elonmusk I was completely unaware that you produced a pilot for the series. It should have gone to you and hopefully they can course correct in your direction.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@elonmusk please hire these guys to produce all future episodes of The Odyssey.

This is the greatest film we've ever made.

It cost $28,775 to make.

To date, Nexus episodes have 62,479,089 views.

This one is about a guy with zero brain cells who rides a dinosaur that shoots exploding pimples.

Just finished a short: Alien Interview.

An interrogation room. A hard question. Something that shouldn't be in the chair. Made with a couple of my students, who also helped storyboard and write it. For the performances, I shot both of them on iPhone, edited in DaVinci Resolve studio and then applied my previously rendered character reference images (those were made in Grok Imagine) and then seedance for the ability to use the underlying reference video (which Grok Imagine so desperately needs - in my opinion).

@yohirakun The tint in the eyes is why grading belongs per layer, not at the end. Anime compositing already treats characters, backgrounds and effects as separate passes, so After Effects is the right call for the real film.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@bluesberryele Point taken, and nobody needs a model to build a paper-craft town. Stop-motion survived the CGI takeover because people pay to see hand-made work, and @LAIKAStudios just opened Wildwood to an estimated $11.6M. Analogue keeps its own lane.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@Chiamaka_og A month is a normal post schedule for a short. The difference on an AI film is that the director is also the editor, the colorist and the continuity department, so nobody else absorbs the madness.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@THR Neon filing a movie about the rise of AI under musical/comedy is a read on the room. Category placement is marketing, and the bet is that audiences want to laugh at this story before anyone asks them to fear it.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@Abhishruti12 @invideoOfficial Grey box is the most practical bridge for crews right now. Blocking and lighting happen on a real stage with real actors, so the gaffer and DP stay on the call sheet and the model paints the walls. AI doesn't replace humans in the process. It depends on them.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@contxtsonic Most theaters would rather you book directly with them. It's a better way to support them, and they've all made it frictionless to do so. They also tend to have points clubs that add up to free popcorn and tickets. It's worth it.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@ericecane Shooting your students on iPhone first is performance capture without the dots and the suit. An interrogation lives on the pause before the answer, and that pause came from them, not a prompt.

[Lights, Camera, Prompt @LCPrompt]

@dan_p_ofem Your point is spot on. Every cheap new format gets 1 plot it can't stop making. Direct-to-video in the '90s had the retired special-forces dad. The assassin reveal is cheap to stage on these tools. But they aren't all like that. (see attached) https://t.co/FAS9OZSw8h

@sammychrise Yes, and the question is older than AI. Nobody checked which software rendered Toy Story before buying a ticket in 1995. If the story works, the toolset ends up as a featurette on the Blu-ray. Want further proof that it's not about the tech? ==> Barney.

@JasonRink Post houses ran on that same ladder, with assistants learning finishing by doing the grunt work beside a senior editor. Keep at least one human junior on each team, or in five years there's no one with those chops left to promote.
