I thought Toy Story’s animation aged poorly but 35mm scans show it was mostly the render for digital that was botched, this movie is actually gorgeous wow
clearly crafted the lighting and colours with a film transfer in mind. the toys actually look tactile. so beautifully done!

Steven Spielberg gives his thoughts on AI usage in filmmaking:
“I don't believe there is any substitute for the soul. I don't think that's an algorithm that is inventible... don't tell me I don't have the right antagonist in this story, don't tell me how to write my dialogue, don't tell me where the camera has to go…
If AI wants to help me find locations, that's great. Saves us some leg work… Use AI as a tool, but do not use AI as the final word on anything creative.”

Seth Rogen calls out people who post AI slop:
“Every time I see a video that's like ‘Hollywood is cooked!’ What follows is like the most stupid dogshit I’ve ever seen in my life.”

The Academy has banned AI from ever winning an Oscar.
• Only roles “demonstrably performed by humans with their consent” can be nominated for acting Oscars
• Screenplays “must be human-authored” to qualify for a nomination
