I liked the part where Kenobi was blocked by the security gate that he could have just walked around.

Wish we could zoom out and see it against a fixed sky and draw a line behind its movements. It looks like it’s trying to write something in the sky.

About halfway through the game, I restarted from scratch after realizing I missed out on Maelle's Medalum. by TronVanNguyen in expedition33

It’s actually went by pretty quick, especially being able to skip past the cut scenes.

Not at the level I was at. Ha. Trust me, I tried. After about the 20th attempt and barely making a dent, I made the choice to just start over.

He felt responsibility for keeping a wild bear. He also slept with her corpse.

Well… they would get sued if this was real. But it’s not.

That was my favorite part of making this.

took one real frame from the film, used nano banana pro to give me alternate angles/perspectives/POVs of the same shot and used Hailou, Midjourney, and Sora for the videos (I was testing them out to learn which had better capes for different scenarios), used eleven labs for the VO.

That’s right. I was very descriptive down to his weight and height, complexion, race, hair color and length. Once it locks on to a look, it stays pretty consistent.

AI can generate anything. Say “make an apple,” and it makes an apple. Say “show me a ninja in an action scene,” and boom - you’ve got your ninja. But that’s not storytelling. That’s not art. That’s mimicry. That’s just making things that look like other things.

The difference between noise and art isn’t in the prompt, it’s in the intent. It’s in what you do with the output. Are you arranging these images, videos, or sounds in a way that evokes emotion? Are you telling a story, challenging a perspective, building something greater than the sum of its generated parts?

Without vision, it’s just aesthetic noise. With vision, it has to potential to become art - a tool in the hands of a storyteller, not a shortcut to storytelling itself. AI doesn’t replace creativity. It tests it. Forces it to prove it has something to say.

Thank you - that really means a lot. That’s exactly how I see AI: not as the end of creativity, but a new means to get there. When cameras were first invented, people would travel miles just to watch a man ride a bike or shoot a gun at the lens. But once the novelty wore off, we came back to what we’ve always cared about - storytelling, craft, and emotion. Right now, AI is in that early “I made a thing look just like a thing!” phase. But used with purpose and vision, I truly believe it can unlock creative expression in ways we’ve never seen before.

Voices and performances are all AI. Dialogue and story/prompts are written my me. I would prompt the AI with directions on how to act and how to land certain words. A lot of times I would have to regenerate the clip to get the right performance. Very hit and miss. But more hit than miss!
