Why?

Neural garbage?

It's a little bit of both. Sometimes I also take the output images into photoshop and rework them a little. Then I usually upscale to 4k, which gives me a little breathing room to camera pan so I can ramp up or ramp down camera moves and reframe.

I will for sure be doing a process video. I'm in the exploration stage at the moment, to see what all is possible.

@@BrentLeBlancCG we can wait bro

I will for sure, going to do an entire workflow breakdown :)

From his previous videos I'd guess Unreal Engine with Metahumans. Possibly Marvelous designer for the robes.

@@lawebley definitely not lol i use unreal and these are not metahumans. Also can see the distortions

I used ChatGPT for Prompt styling and ideation, Midjourney for image generation, Runway and Luma for Image to Video conversion. I will be making a process video that goes over how I'm doing all of this. Editing, Grading are just traditional method in Premiere. Sound design and Music is samples from Artlist

@@BrentLeBlancCG Thanks for the clarification man. Make more, these are cool af :D

Thanks! Will do

Thanks! I'll for sure keep pushing to make more ;)

Agreed! Things are only going to get better. I really want to start putting more emphasis on performance workflows.

I worked for 13 years at Blue Sky Studios, Dreamworks and Pixar. Now I work at Amazon. 😊

@@BrentLeBlancCG I was hoping you got the reference. It was Homer Simpson taunting Chief Wiggum. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ap3Vhpqnltt_oqc Yeah with all that experience. You gotta do better than that to call it a "short film'. But regardless, you got a subscribe from me! Good info with the Meta-Human stuff and I'm sure your channel has a wealth of knowledge we could all use!.

@@mrwz626 How about very short film.. haha. I'm really posting these as a way to showcase how artists can leverage AI to create things. I'm used to people ripping my head off at any mention of AI. I think its going to change film making forever and I hope others can see a tool for what it is. Just another way to make things. Best of luck!

@@BrentLeBlancCG Ah I see. Right on. Just some light jesting on my part. But man O man how right you are! Hollywood is crashing, but we do have the opportunity of a lifetime with AI & especially with Unreal Engine!. Imagine when you stared how much something like this would cost!. Now I will be creating a show with this!.s At a tiny fraction of the cost of time and money!

@@mrwz626 There will never be a replacement for insanely talented artists. What I think is likely to happen is that we just get alot of smaller studios making crazy amazing things. The traditional film making process is just insanely time consuming and costly. The people to benefit most will be artists, it is just the traditional studio setting will stop being commerically viable. We are about to enter an age of thousands of skeleton crew small studios making massive shows/film/experiences. Once the dust settles the big winners will be artists. They will shape the future of content creation. AI is just another tool to use and once its ethical that also means its commercial. The market will sort itself out. The future is bright.

Yes, this is totally achievable to control the outputs. It would just require you to use more ControlNet systems to guide it. I mostly just didn’t spend much time on that aspect. These are made for editing and sound design exercise than it is about the images. The goal of me making these is about creating a mood and a story that is just using images. I don’t claim to own or control the imagery very intensively. When using AI you just need to be clear on your intention and not try to pawn off AI as your own. The art here is in the composition of the narrative as a whole. How it’s arranged and edited. There will never be a replacement for the “hard way”. Collaboration with other artists will always be king. However those processes are very time consuming and expensive. AI can allow you to test things out and see where a story thread could go.

Why not both?

@@BrentLeBlancCG why use ai when an artist could’ve done it? why take that opportunity away from a human who wants to make something in favour of a program that’s forced to do it? it’s immoral art in my opinion

There is the door :)

@@BrentLeBlancCGI know you think your smugness makes you look confident, but it just shows what a bad person you are.

These are just tools, you can choose to or not to use them. Go make stuff! Noone is stopping you :)

@@BrentLeBlancCG Sure 👍👍, Thank you so much for your support . I hope we can work together in one project .

Best luck!

I’ll say as parting wisdom. Don’t ever be discouraged from exploring interests or ideas even if others disagree. Good luck!

@@BrentLeBlancCG thats good wisdom for others for sure, dont be discourages by me leaving, this guys has some wonderful videos on his channel that dont feature having to steal other people's work.

@@tom_paul_3d Thanks Tom for your reply. I think it’s intellectually dishonest to claim just by using tools you are stealing. The key is what is the intention. I made no claim these images are mine. The art in this project was the arrangement. Just as you would remixing a music video or using Google images for reference or photography of someone else’s building architecture. You will see no claim that I own the rights to anything presented. I created a story and arranged it with images to tell the story. I’m not selling it or doing this work for anyone else , but my own artistic exploration. It’s a dangerous mindset to not pursue things based on an ideology. I hope all the best for you and keep creating!

@@BrentLeBlancCG I am not against the use of AI to make artwork, but its current implementation doesnt promote any crediting of the artists it scrapes from, which id say is awful.

Cheers

Thanks Thies!
