Another thing that's really nice about making a rough version of your short film with AI as quickly as possible is that it allows you to fail fast.

I wrote a "really good" story yesterday. Then today I made a rough video of the whole thing (in under a hour), and watched it. The story doesn't work at all! Emotionally.

A few hours spent, but it's a few hours spent failing fast, instead of devoting 20 hours in making this and then only realizing that the story still falls flat.

It's always great in my head. And feels usually great even after I've written it down. But the translation process from words to video - writing a recipe vs baking the recipe and having a taste.

Failing fast is great.

Nano Banana Pro prompt:

A where is waldo image showing all Star Wars characters on Tatooine

First one to pull this off. First take. Even Waldo is there.

From screenplay to video - Sora 2

Opening of "Ukko"

I took the opening of one of my screenplays, and made a rough video of it using Sora 2 in one afternoon.

Insert obligatory soon Hollywood will be dead line here!

🧵See onwards for how I did it + compare the screenplay to the results + what are the current limitations + what will soon be possible.

I call this the normalization of magic.

In less than ~24 months, the world went from "video generation will never work, no way it happens" to "the audio on the generated video after the helicopter crashes is not as good as the sound of waves from the dinosaur riding the surfboard."

I still can't believe I was able to get a Centaur to skip rope 😂 That would have been an impossible task even 3 months ago.

Nice work 😁👍@Kling_ai

@CuriousRefuge @midjourney @runwayml With animation projects, I always test 4-6 models to find out which one can animate the given style the best. In the end it never is the one I initially think it would be.

Interesting bit of the US Copyright Office latest guidance on AI and copyright

- prompts alone are not copyrightable, but a combination of AI editing steps can lead to work where "the output should be copyrightable"
