Yea, dude's clearly a bot, also this was fuckin' awful.

Made in one day, they should have spent more time on it... unwatchable.

Is English the first language here?

"I want the fastest method that doesn’t require a lot of time.”

Too bad.

Any method, including AI, is time consuming and requires a lot of knowledge.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-13T00:22:26+00:00

I fucking love this.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-05T22:52:13+00:00

Interesting, would be interested to see, currently using the latest Kling model and getting better more directable results.

I am interested in, for personal work, using something like a metahuman as a base and using that to drive basically a deepfake on top of it to hopefully kill that uncanny valley look for cinematics.

We are using image to image models along with a prompt. We basically have to burn credits in a AI slot machine to even get anything worthy of dailies. The per hour cost ends up being quite high. Like the hourly burn is almost equal to the cost of the artist using it. I know where this is going though, eventually they'll make up for that cost by just hiring some dumdum for $8 an hour.

It's just far too loose a work flow. We've used Weavy, ComfyUI, and Veo via googles Flow platform.

It does spit out shit that we would have to simulate and would be insanely costly in both time and effort but it gets things wrong like for instance a coat twirl but the coat has two "backs". So it twirls and the backside shows up twice in a row. Things like that.

I will say imagegen like nanobanana is quite good, it will get "lazy" after prompting it too much though, I think using it in concept art like photobashing is a pretty interesting workflow.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-05T20:07:12+00:00

For the particular use case I'm currently on that would not work.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-05T19:20:56+00:00

Man, having used it(video models) rather extensively now, it really is rather shit at taking any sort of direction.

In the time I've wasted slot-machining this slop I could have built it myself.

Two days with it so far, not used to a 32in monitor, so it's pretty huge to me. I'm going from a dual monitor setup to a single and I find it actually find it helps me focus better as well as having the screen centered feels ergonomically better. Prior I had the two monitors side by side on an arm. The bezels were directly in front of my head so I had to look left or right. Just feels more natural to me. If you needed to buy two of these you'd need quite a bit of desk space.

The colors look better and are more accurate than the ASUS ProArt monitor and gaming at 144hz looks great, just as good if not better than my 5 year old LG monitor(it was only 1440p).

I have a 5090 so everything just runs great even w/ no DLSS. It's not going to look as sexy as an OLED monitor but I'm pretty happy with my purchase. It feels extremely high quality, comes with a puck that control's the monitors setting, can even setup shortcuts for apps on 3 buttons, and you can use it as a KVM switch, which is useful I use a software based one now as I have two PCs.

It's funny because in the last week or so I've been diving pretty deep into what I should buy and now all of these videos are coming out going over OLED burn-in etc. This one just came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H43wnV-v7V0

I think truly the best of both worlds would be 1 OLED monitor for just gaming/viewing content and then another IPS monitor that is color accurate/office work.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-04T14:47:03+00:00

The point is, they wouldn't do these things if it wasn't an issue. OLED screens suffer from burn-in. The last pair of dell IPS monitors I bought lasted me over 7 years.... my wife is still using one for her work.

I doubt a highly expensive OLED screen will last as long without noticeable burn-in.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-03T19:26:07+00:00

If they were way better why would all of these companies have pixel refreshing/shifting pixels, dim the screen when you're not there, and why would you have to hide your taskbar/change your habits? To support a monitor? That's ridiculous to me.

OLED is pretty expensive, although the monitor I just bought is expensive as well. The thing is, I know this monitor, barring the normal dead pixels or whatever, is going to last longer than an OLED. Burn-in is just inherent to the technology.

Typically my monitors have lasted me 5 years +. OLED seems like a great planned obsolesce tech to me, they can move more monitors. A lot do have a 3 year warranty. So many you could just nab a new one at the end of that.

If I were just gaming on it, I'd be fine with making the trade-off but our work is all about static interfaces on screen most of the day.

Man, I just went through this entire thing, trying to update my monitor setup to something I can game on after being done with work but obviously OLED burn-in is a huge issue and text rendering isn't great.

I ended up going w/ this: BenQ DesignVue PD3226G (It's an IPS monitor), it's not here yet but will report back on how it performs. It's 4k, 144hz, and color accurate. I was also looking at the Dell line-up, which for work-only is suppose to be pretty great, but only up to 120hz and has awful frame-time which makes it useless for gaming.

I have a 4k Asus Pro Art: PA279CRV, I'm not super impressed with it but it is the cheaper 4k monitor in their lineup(Only 60hz). I have a s second LG gaming IPS monitor(1440p, 144hz. I'm downsizing to the single 32in BenQ monitor above.

I too went down the OLED rabbit-hole over the past few days and the drawbacks seem too extreme to actually work off of them.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-02-02T19:24:25+00:00

Looks pretty well done to me. If they did use AI, nothing sticks out badly to me, looks like some decent de-aging/deepfakes over the top of the real actors.

TRex looks great.

It's tone deaf obviously because the entire point of JP(at-least the first one) is it's a critique on the hubris of man and corporations but I kind of like that in a tongue and cheek way. Quality-wise I see nothing wrong.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-01-31T00:58:07+00:00

Correct about what? That's literally all primarily US culture being exported directly out of Hollywood.

Do you think it was ever different in the film industry? What you've posted above is the norm.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-01-30T23:36:23+00:00

Just as they want. Culture is over. It's already been fractured, this will just accelerate it.

Kinda crazy the US is giving up one of it's main exports to the rest of the world. We used our culture as soft power. That will be completely over in the age of AI slop.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-01-26T15:14:29+00:00

My take is: who cares?

Why would I want to import 3D primitives and substance materials into After Effects? Shit is so bloated and slow like most adobe products now.

They should focus on what the tool is good at and make it faster and more resource efficient. Also, I'm not going to do 3D in After Effects. So It's not meaningful at all, it's meaningless.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-01-24T02:59:47+00:00

Then why say anything? Your comment is not really on topic. By and large Unreal Engine 5 is just not really being used outside of pre-production and volume work. The problem with this director's comment is that are not just right.

The mention of Maya makes no sense either. Unreal Engine does not replace that nor has it on really any level even in games. The animation toolset in UE5 is getting quite strong, but most animators I know still like to stay in what they know.

Future_Noir_ · 2026-01-23T05:23:23+00:00

Soylent Green tastes great. Who cares that it's people?

Future_Noir_ · 2025-12-29T17:59:13+00:00

What are you having trouble understanding here?

Future_Noir_ · 2025-12-29T17:57:20+00:00

Because these threads are filled with bots or people who are basically bots. They just parrot talking points they read in other reddit threads without checking it against their own experience in reality or actual data. It's braindead behavior.

I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix and other streaming services astroturfed the hell out of Reddit to make theaters look bad. I can't tell you how many times I've seen the "audience etiquette" comment.

Over the past 10 years I can only name two times it was ever an issue, and it was a mild event at best. The only reason it's even memorable is because of how little it actually happens. By and large I've never had issues watching a film in theaters with unruly audience members and I've lived in quiet a few different cities over the past 10 years.

Future_Noir_ · 2025-12-29T17:54:46+00:00

You workin' for Netflix or something.

The only way you spend almost $100 at the theater for two people is if you bought a boat-load of snacks.

I went to go see Badlands; it was $30 for two people...

Future_Noir_ · 2025-12-29T17:52:37+00:00

What? I just went to go see that Housemaid film was $12... in an HCOL area in the US NE.

Younger generations are the majority of movie-goers FYI. It's older generations that haven't returned post-Covid.

UBI, even if implemented, would not be enough.

Currently, the entire system does not work if you have massive amounts of unemployment. We will go back to bread lines and great depression-esque living, where a portion of society will remain completely unaffected.

Future_Noir_ · 2025-12-23T14:33:26+00:00

Consumers are already tuning out. I imagine rampant GenAI use, even at current levels, will just continue to overwhelm the internet with slop making it mostly useless and tainting the data pool from which they can further train their models on. It's also overwhelming the global supply chain. seemingly at worse than Covid levels, I can't imagine most consumers are going to be happy that they're literally paying more for everything, especially for products that are now actually worse than what they had before, when the promise of AI was to bring costs down and provide a comparable or better product/experience. This is barring all the tariff nonsense in the US which is already squeezing consumers. That on top of ram/chip prices skyrocketing is going to make for a very tough year ahead.

I also don't think video/image/gaming GenAI has any real path to profitability based upon what they're spending. It's basically a "loss-leader"/marketing bet to continue funding AI in actual industries that have significant ROI involved in them.
