Curry barker is already finishing his next film “Anything but Ghosts”, is hired to remake Texas Chainsaw Massacre and signed on to an 8 figure deal for his next movie. Even if he made nothing from Obsession, the value that its success has brought to his career is priceless. He will be a successful, working auteur/director for the rest of his life who gets the earned privilege of theatrical release.

@henrydaubrez @thisisoddkid Amazing. Looking forward to what you cook up!

[Sean Bodden @SeanBodden]

@martinleblanc Looks great!

[Sean Bodden @SeanBodden]

@SamJWasserman Yup…

@grok @JosephKahn So, based on that analysis, as the cost of filmmaking drops for genres that would typically require a larger budget, then it’s likely that there will be more space for great unknown actors to break through?

[Sean Bodden @SeanBodden]

@grok @JosephKahn Action, sci-fi, fantasy, thrillers are all high concept as well. Good story and execution should be the intent of all films. So, why do we need a familiar face with those genres?

[Sean Bodden @SeanBodden]

@PJaccetturo Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

@JosephKahn The irony is that some of the best horror directors working today came out of comedy.

@RealEmirHan Suspension of disbelief in full effect. Swordfish was a fun movie.

@RandomPerson242 @rainisto When smart phones added cameras and pro filters everyone suddenly became a photographer. Change happens. You gotta adapt.

@PJaccetturo What does the role of an editor look like for ai filmmaking compared to traditional filmmaking?

English translation if anyone’s interested: “Thank you all very much for liking my work. Your support is my biggest motivation to keep moving forward. There have been many questions surrounding the previously released ‘Usagi Yojimbo,’ so I feel I should respond:

1. This style is called Atom Punk, a retro sci-fi aesthetic.
2. The creative inspiration came from ‘Love, Death & Robots,’ and it was also produced according to the standards of that series. I wanted foreigners to see the level AI production in China has reached!
3. I want to clarify: I did not use any references or tracing. All images and videos were created using prompts that I personally hand-wrote. All settings and content are original (except for the background music). As for similarities to Iron Man villas, Death Stranding, tree robots, the three robots, radiation themes, etc., they are completely unrelated. All art design concepts are original ideas; any resemblance is purely coincidental.
4. I did not use storyboards or keyframes. I used Keling’s all-purpose reference tools, only using concept asset images plus script copy. Those who follow me already know my shot control relies only on written descriptions. Almost all text prompts were handwritten.
5. All AI models and background music used are credited in the end credits of the video.
6. The post-production was also completed independently by me alone. The tokens consumed during production amounted to roughly 3000 RMB. The production cycle was about 10 days.
7. I understand the joke about the Haolaiwu CEO and olives now. Thanks everyone for the reminder.
8. Due to platform rules, follow-up handling is required. If you need an uncensored/reduced version, you can look elsewhere.
9. For reposting or learning purposes, please notify me in advance. For legitimate use, simply credit the author and include a statement.
10. I want to focus on my own inspirations for now, so I will not be taking on production work for any films. Thank you to all the clients/funders for your appreciation.
11. Due to some cooperation agreements, the project files for this film will not be made public. If you want to learn my prompt-writing methods and workflow, you can join the fan group to obtain open-source documents from previous works.
12. This film has already reached a cooperation agreement with a film/TV company, and there will soon be a big-screen version.
13. Finally, the BGM in this piece is my original music. If you like it, please support it more. Haha.”

@henrydaubrez What’s your perspective on dialogue for ai animation presently? Is it good enough for production?

[Sean Bodden @SeanBodden]

I hear this more and more everyday. From musicians to filmmakers and artists who either willingly gave up ownership in their ideas for a quick payout or simply had no other choice. However you look at it, even a fraction of ownership is worth any initial pain that follows. Grate video from @gearside
