@JustineBateman For less than $25m you can actually make 4 movies: Anora ($6m), The Brutalist ($10m), A Real Pain ($3m), Flow ($3.5m) - all nominated for Oscars 2025.

@dustythecowboy You don’t need to hand-draw your storyboards. I mean, if it makes you happy, do it. But storyboards are just a way to communicate ideas. If you can create them faster and use that extra time for the creative process, that’s a better way to do it.

[Dawid Meller @dirmeller]

AI aside, you should definitely take your own advice and make real things. You have skills, and recently all you do is PR/marketing for other people's work. Take a camera, spend 10–20k, and just make an indie horror feature film. You have an audience, show BTS from day one to build interest from distributors. Make real things instead of just talking.

With proper hype, even AI films can reach cinemas, but it will definitely be a minority. There are already many great movies that can’t get in. Theaters have a lot of different problems but lack of content is not one of them. That’s why I believe AI films will change the film landscape, but not necessarily for cinemas :)

[Dawid Meller @dirmeller]

No, it's actually the exact opposite. There are so many movies and so much competition for spots in cinemas that only the biggest players have access. You can look at the recent case of Iron Lung from Markiplier. He had an interesting movie and a huge audience, yet it was incredibly difficult for him to secure a spot in cinemas, and his release was initially very limited.

We need to stop clickbait titles like “End of Hollywood.” They are so inaccurate that it's hard to read them, even knowing they are just clickbait. Hollywood would be the biggest beneficiary of AI. All these big studios will be the main producers of AI films. Of course, AI will allow even small studios or single creators to make amazing films. However, most of the money will go to Hollywood, which will outproduce any small creators and have established distribution and marketing (which are usually more important than the quality of the film). Also, I don't believe they are not cooking silently in the background. They just can't admit it because it would make people angry. These companies spend 300–500 million on single films. They will hire the most talented people and will have exclusive models for internal use only. It's only a matter of time.

I thought the Super Bowl would be a good time to test new Kling 3, so I spent this afternoon creating a quick commercial, which was fun (the idea was kind of based on a meme with Jason Momoa without his beard).

@Kling_ai new model is really awesome!
@Doritos please don't sue me 😅

@CoachDanGo I've been eating almost the same thing for a very long time. But instead of greek yogurt, I'm using cottage cheese (I tried it with yogurt, and cottage cheese is so much better), and I'm also adding some nuts and 100% dark chocolate, my favourite breakfast that I can eat nonstop.

[Dawid Meller @dirmeller]

@PJaccetturo This is the best AI commercial I’ve seen so far. Congrats to you and your team. The process makes it even better!

Last week, I had the pleasure of being one of the speakers at a panel discussion about filmmaking and storytelling with AI in Tokyo. I shared the stage with amazing people such as Oscar winner Tim Yip, great Korean director Lee Hwan-kyung, AI creators @lemon_0_0_ade and Cone, and our wonderful host @hq4ai. It was an incredible experience, full of great conversations and so many inspiring people I had the chance to meet. Thank you @Kling_ai for the invitation!

[Dawid Meller @dirmeller]

Thanks to the Kling Creative Contest, after months of testing different models and just experimenting, I finally had the motivation to create a proper short film.

It’s called Lost & Found. Everything was done in 24 hours (except for the story, which I wrote some time ago).

Created with some incredible tools:
Video: @Kling_ai (Kling 2.5, Kling 2.1)
Images: @GoogleAI Nano Banana, @BytedanceTalk Seedream 4.0, @midjourney
Music: @SunoMusic
Prompts: @OpenAI ChatGPT
Voices: @elevenlabs
Color grading: DaVinci Resolve

If you like it, I would be grateful if you share it.
