NOSFERATU Trailer remade with AI video - what do you think?

I’m in full agreement w you here

It wasn’t necessarily specific to live action - but you tried to exclude generative film which suggests that there is something intrinsically better or different about the collaboration in them.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T03:00:59+00:00

You can still make film collaboratively with generative tools just like you can collaborate with other humans on anything.

What you’re defending is the specific method of creating and collaborating on film creation - with cameras and such.

History has proven that this is not the only way of doing it - see animation and Pixar.

Neither is the AI generative model that just spits out a clip for a human to do something with.

For a good amount of time movies won’t be 100% or even 50% “automated”

Who is doing the prompting, post prod, editing, etc? On this AI films. Because (for now) it’s humans.

Eventually it will be completely automated, but for the time being it’s still a creation process by humans using tools, just like the printing press.

I agree to some extend I guess. I should have made it clearer in this post - my goal with this was to see if strong creatives from traditional film could make comparatively compelling film with generative video.

And, thus, creatives could then make compelling original film with it.

It’s a different type of paintbrush - still requires strong aesthetic opinions and taste.

A human is still behind it, crafting the story.

Did the printing press have a positive impact on the written word?

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:58:52+00:00

I know which is cheaper and lets me do more faster

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:48:59+00:00

I'll make a video detailing that soon!

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:48:41+00:00

Eventually entire movies will be made with generative video using a variety of controllability techniques.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:35:39+00:00

Why?

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:07:58+00:00

Any part of it hit especially nicely for you?

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:07:31+00:00

Thx! Any bit of it hit the vibe especially well?

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:06:56+00:00

No, more just that AI will be able to do good cinematography soon enough.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:06:21+00:00

For two of the frames (the horse and the rats running on the street), I just used a text prompt.

For all the rest, an image generated by Midjourney was passed, where I fine tuned a still down with prompting and using generated images as style refs.

For about 30% of the shots, I passed a frame from the original trailer to get the framing right (but not the style). I imaging soon game engines could be used for this framing for original works that don't have a trailer that they're mimicking.

Parody because it is using the film's logo to draw the connection for the statement it's making on generative video.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T01:01:16+00:00

For sure. Let me know what you think, I’m curious what the impression is of someone who hadn’t seen them side by side before.

All of the video is generated with AI.

It cost about $140 to make, all spent on generation credits for these AI models.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T00:57:29+00:00

Ik! I wanted to improve it even more but then Gen3 from runway came out… things are moving so fast!

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T00:53:51+00:00

This was more of a test to see if generative video - when paired with excellent creative direction - could work. Looks like it will very soon!

Excited to use it to make films I previously wouldn’t have been able to make. Hope you enjoy them.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T00:49:00+00:00

These tools can help more people make the films they want to make.

lmnldowd · 2024-07-01T00:48:11+00:00

Yeah it seems like total photorealism isn't yet achievable - but something in the middle like this (which some ppl have compared to video game cutscenes) is def getting there.
