as long as major filmmakers keep softening up to AI, it’ll be "he’s only using it for storyboards," "he’s only using it to enhance the script," "he’s only using it for this one scene." it’s a boundary that will keep being pushed constantly, but okay

Blocking the last letter of the Hard R on that Rockwell painting is proof he's still got it as a cinematographer

THE WORST THING YOU CAN DO IS LET THIS WORLD STEAL YOUR WHIMSY. PROTECT YOUR WHIMSY AT ALL COST. DON’T LET THESE JOYLESS MOTHERFUCKERS STEAL YOUR MAGIC.

My personal experience with AI is that most of the gen AI companies have offered me buckets of money (house money!) to publicly endorse their tools and claim they are central to my creativity (have turned them all down).

What's interesting is that there are SO many people who are hyped about these tools who should be getting the bag instead of me. So all I can gather is that these companies are throwing money around to control the story about who their tools are for. Seems like they'll pay anything to have non-AI folks endorse the AI tools.

Check out this treasure of a film by the talented, creative, and sweet Ambriz Brothers… both because it’s delightful and also because when original voices succeed, we get more cool and interesting stuff to watch, so we all win.

@urbanbarbarian dude, you are at the absolute top of your game right now.

[Devin Carvajal @DevCarvajal]

one of the many downsides to AI is that I feel like it’s starting to numb people to good work

[tom whalen @strongstufftom]

the level to which this dude is getting dragged is pretty impressive.

I just don’t know what to say anymore. Did he agree and sell out? Was Amazon just forcing him to do this lame move? I am SO disappointed and confused…

Well, at least EL Tigre and The Book of Life will still be regarded as good stuff he made before hand.

@IGN do they realize shit like this this is moving the AI needle in the opposite direction of where they want it to go?
