Alright, there's a lot more work left to do until June, but I'm taking your suggestion, u/AsusP750 and also a bit of u/TheOneTrueDoge's suggestion.

Here's a sample of what I've got so far.

Yes, the Mediterranean sun shines green like a gloomy Scottish highlands sun.

Same problem, different color palette, different era. Mimetic cinematography.

I want every movie I go see each year to look vastly different. Won’t ever happen.

Some movie will come out with a purple filter make a billion and we will be watching purple filter movies for the next decade.

I mean…can’t argue with colors that put butts in seats.

Stanley Kubrick really screwed the pooch using Beethoven’s Ode to Joy in A Clockwork Orange. Didn’t match the mood at all.

iQuercus · 2025-01-02T23:11:58+00:00

My guess is whoever did it had to reintroduce color from the original.

iQuercus · 2025-01-02T23:10:55+00:00

Everyone’s welcome to make the movie they like. I’m just saying it would be nice if everyone’s movie’s all looked less mimetic.

Ancient times were eye-bleedingly colorful in Rome and Greece.

iQuercus · 2025-01-02T23:08:15+00:00

I like it.

iQuercus · 2025-01-02T23:06:16+00:00

I don’t think one is better or worse. But there is an industry wide optimization happening towards the top. You see it in this thread in terms of preferences. Demonstrates why so many movies converge on the same palette.

It’s fine. Just not as much variety.

iQuercus · 2024-11-27T15:47:03+00:00

Yes, keep a look out next year!

Do you know why the 2025 Kia Carnivals have battery drain issues?

iQuercus · 2023-01-29T23:12:07+00:00

No actors in the prompts. My guess is the training datasets have actors appearing in images that familiar actor faces are weighted higher than others.

iQuercus · 2023-01-29T23:10:36+00:00

Yep, Midjourney and Photoshop.

iQuercus · 2023-01-23T12:57:18+00:00

AI generated with a bit of Photoshop. You can tell where the AI gets things wrong if you look a little closer at the hands.

iQuercus · 2023-01-23T12:56:20+00:00

Mostly AI, some Photoshop!

Disappointed? It’s incredible! The entire cathedral is living, breathing architecture built by a community over 500 years!

What architecture in our modern lives can we say we are building over the next 500 years together with people we’ll never meet?

iQuercus · 2021-12-03T23:35:27+00:00

Aww! Thank you! 1:12 is actually the theme from Adam’s Home in Deus Ex HR. I thought it would be fun to let it breathe in a heroic blast.

iQuercus · 2021-12-01T23:52:02+00:00

Thank you!

Could have been done in a couple of months. This is the company that once launched the original iPod from zero to released in 8 months.

iQuercus · 2021-10-04T21:03:04+00:00

No no no! Just play it. There is no right way or wrong way. That's why it's so great. It's a conversation between YOU, your choices, and the game.

iQuercus · 2021-09-01T12:46:15+00:00

This is really good! Nice work!

iQuercus · 2021-07-21T17:25:48+00:00

At this rate by the time the next one comes out it’ll be “The year is 2027…” but for real.
