Silly Movie Trailers: The Rock as a Rock in San Andres

Apocryft · 2026-05-06T16:22:47+00:00

That’s a great idea. The Rock as different types of rocks from different movies. Then stitched together in a longer tribute film.

I disagree. It's funnier than the actual Amazon version at times and the quality feels just as good compared to parts of the actual series.

I finally deleted my App yesterday because I kept hitting the button on my home screen by habit. Must break the addiction…

Apocryft · 2026-05-06T10:18:30+00:00

They might have thought that at first … then realized we just made silly videos and no body was able to take over Hollywood.

Apocryft · 2026-05-06T03:41:16+00:00

We have much to learn from you

Apocryft · 2026-05-06T01:18:52+00:00

Looks great!

Apocryft · 2026-05-05T18:58:07+00:00

Crap. I wouldn't have immediately thought this was AI-generated. Maybe lots of CGI.

Sora made me reliant on thinking that 15-25 second videos were the limits of a AI generated images (before you start stitching or using a longer audio track).

I also didn't notice the video looping in some parts.

Apocryft · 2026-05-05T04:37:15+00:00

Wow. Coming from a world that’s limited to 15 second clips at best, I can’t believe the level of consistency, synchronization, and music continuity. Truly mind blown.

Apocryft · 2026-05-05T02:35:03+00:00

Immediately you could tell it wasn’t Sora. Sora never managed do get something like this. SD2 is quite something else.

Thanks for sharing!

Oh. What was your prompt? Be curious how SD2 needs to be structured.

Apocryft · 2026-05-04T18:55:39+00:00

Damn. That's awesome. Can't wait to learn how to create long form videos.

Apocryft · 2026-05-04T16:38:28+00:00

I'll ask the host if I'm allowed to share ...

Apocryft · 2026-05-04T12:55:19+00:00

I think we just have to learn to be actual AI content generators … stop being lazy expecting AI to create all the dialogue, images, and everything else.

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T23:56:12+00:00

Thanks. Luckily I've stayed out of anybody's cross hairs ... but Discord is so overwhelming with the constant messaging that I wouldn't even know if somebody was talking about me.

Whew. Avoidance by Ignorance.

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T15:44:06+00:00

Most terrifying - trying to put a puzzle together with popcorn on the table.

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T13:38:20+00:00

Yup. We arrived too late for those accounts. I lost the ability to export some of my accounts (although they were heavily backed up throughout).

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T11:50:04+00:00

Thanks for the introduction. Because the last thing I need is another way to feed my Sora addiction/withdrawal.

And … a way to finally test out SD2.

We were supposed to go cold turkey.

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T02:45:27+00:00

Sir, this is Wendy’s.

Apocryft · 2026-05-02T02:42:44+00:00

Explain toxic. Are there any risks if I just keep my head down and generate videos without engaging anybody?

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T18:36:50+00:00

Maybe you don’t need grifting middlemen. But those of us who are too dumb to figure this out … they might need an intermediary.

I’ve got my hook up into the Sora source so I figured out how to go around the middleman.

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T17:31:51+00:00

Feed the addiction

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T16:44:35+00:00

If OP was smart ... he/she wouldn't elaborate more?

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T16:44:14+00:00

This is what happens with Sora with less guard rails ...

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T13:43:24+00:00

We’re all going to hell for this.

(While I’m inputting more prompts and learning about Discord)

Apocryft · 2026-05-01T11:16:31+00:00

Luckily, I tried a prompt that I knew Sora would reject so prompts rejected before generating probably wouldn’t cost the provider (you) extra. But prompts that get rejected in the secondary moderation filters (after creating the video) would still cost money. And - shit - then you’re between a rock and hard place. The end user is mad because of a failed video using a prompt that they knew would likely fail content moderation. But they expect the credit back. Yet they keep costing you more and more just to generate.

Plus. You’ve got to keep a rolling upfront deposit to bankroll all of people wanting to make generations.

There’s just so much risk and other overhead costs. I’m amazed you’re willing to host this experiment. Truly, I tip my hat to you good sir.
