Madagascar is already a really funny movie as it is, but it’s even funnier knowing Ben Stiller is delivering this line and he’s been going crazy at these games lmao

[Art Directors Guild @ADG800]

The Art Directors Guild, IATSE Local 800 #adg800 has issued a statement on Martin Scorsese’s recent promotion of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI):

"Mr. Scorsese, The Business is not in flux.

Oscar winning director Martin Scorsese is turning his back on the human artists who throughout his career have helped him create his most memorable works.

In the recently released Black Forest Labs video promoting their generative AI product FLUX, Mr. Scorsese asks the question, “how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew?” He claims the solution is the use of this generative AI program to do the jobs that are rightfully the jurisdiction of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers - human artists and designers who have been successfully collaborating with directors to visualize their films for decades. Mr. Scorsese's promotion of a generative AI product circumvents the input of Art Directors Guild Local 800 art directors, graphic artists, illustrators, production designers, scenic artists, set designers, and other talented Union professionals.

Generative AI is only capable of producing this type of “cinematic intelligence” by ingesting large swaths of copyrighted work, likely scraped from the internet without consent, credit, compensation, or transparency.

The skills of Art Directors Guild Local 800 artists and designers bring the highest level of value to any film or television production. To think their professional contributions can be mimicked or outshone by generative AI, which is built on work likely stolen from them and many other artists from around the world, is a betrayal of the collaborative nature of cinema."

George Lucas' real power is that, like Adam, he has the ability to give creatures their True Name.

Rotta the Hutt is notably not featured on the Jabba the Hutt page in the Star Wars: The Complete Visual Dictionary because he isn’t his father. He’s his own man.

Support storyboard artists. Create your own storyboards. Write out how you envision a shot and collaborate with creatives that can visualize it. Unlock the imagination in your mind to think up whatever you want to see in a frame. Literally anything but this.

[Zak @zakfilm]

James Cameron, George Miller, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Ridley Scott and more veteran filmmakers have sadly gave in to AI. It’s a bleak time for the industry and even more reason why younger filmmakers must break through to resist what the older generations have accepted as inevitable when it doesn’t need to be.

this is what #real storyboarding looks like #uncwashed

[DiscussingFilm @DiscussingFilm]

Martin Scorsese has joined a generative AI startup as a partner and advisor.

He adds that he has used AI during pre-production to help with storyboarding — “with this tool, I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly & efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.”

I remember when I bought the Rise of Skywalker visual guide back in 2020 to see if there was any light shed on Palpatine's return but instead I just got to see a very handsome, unrecognizable Dengar on one of the pages

[Gus @directorgus]

@TSoS_ Holy shit

[Gus @directorgus]

What about Dengar, we need to know about Dengar

[The Sietch of Sci-Fi | @TSoS_]

I truly wonder where Bossk is in all of this. All the big Bounty Hunters are back, but he is nowhere to be found.

@matthewivan77 Nice! I'm in the middle of season 1 right now so I can't wait to get there

Tony Goldwyn is on Hacks????? Holy shit

[IndieWire @IndieWire]

"Hacks" costume designer Kathleen Felix-Hager on recreating the iconic Carol Burnett look for Deborah's sellout NY show in Episode 9:

“Mr. [Bob] Mackie hand-delivered the original Carol Burnett jumpsuit to me. I’m really proud of that recreation. I wanted to be respectful of his original design, and I was so honored to meet him and work with him. That’s kind of a special moment for me, too. And then he was unbelievable in the little cameo we see of him in the show!”
