I believe you would be able to create for example 16 seconds timeline video explaining what character you want, camera movement and explain as detailed as possible second by second what scene you want to be created and camera movement you want to happen (Move camera around object between 10th and 14th second and then focus in 14th to 16th second, for example). Then you will be able to use AI for full animated video creation :)

I don't think the problem is for the professionnals, yet, the problem is the public which has no clue how much work those kind of shots can be. You can work for months on a single project, share it on twitter etc and yet, any random writting 2 words would have more reach because he can do 10 of those things per hour which is favorable for algorithms. And since public doesn't care about the work input, it creates a very touch gap to beat :/ The new social media artists are pretty much going to be words spammers and they might get filthy rich from it ahah As for the animators in the industry, we will be safe for a while, untill you can add details in the prompt as you go or, even worse, when we'll have addons for Maya, blender etc and you'll be able to generate an animation or poses with single promps, in the future i'm pretty sure animators are going to because keyframe cleaners ahah It goes the same for character artists etc, ofc, might even be worse for them, what a sad time to be an artist in

I doubt this will ever get use unless they somehow manage to make the systems understand you like you understand other humans. These systems only understand basic data input and summarizing complex ideas into text is practically impossible. Even if you could tell the system your idea, I doubt it would be able to comprehend it in its entirety because human speech is not just words but emotions and physical gesticulations. For AI to be able to achieve the understanding of this, you would need so much power to keep the data center running that it's almost impossible unless every data center would have their own dedicated nuclear plant. I doubt it will ever be possible for this so-called 'AI' to achieve the abilities of fine tuning things like humans are able to do on the move. It will be able to process tremendous amount of data that humans never will be able, but I seriously doubt it will ever be able to create something that isn't a rearranged piece of art that was previously created by humans.

I think celebrity culture and just "humanness" which matters to so many people, especially those that dont follow AI, is being disregarded. Maybe not to the people watching these types of videos.

If the AI already did something badly it likely means it will be a struggle to get it to fix it properly. Now how do you fix an video, as unlike a picture you can't just edit the pixels.

From my experience selling indie mocap, 100s of convo's with indie creators, smaller teams or a solo artist (with or without any experience) uses Mid Journey for concept art and proofs of concept all to pitch potential investors for something that mirror a true production. It is incredible because someone can come up with just an idea and at least try to translate that to something more. The camera control part is so important though. Only Runway ML even really has a UI interface which tells me just how far the main players (Pika, OpenAI, Mid Journey) are from what they think are more commercially viable products. The 3D model, texture, perhaps even animation generation that can exist within a 3D tool where you have some controls (assembling like a kit) seems much more closer than the generative video in entertainment / quality-production. B-roll, product, and design those seem to work fine minus bigger companies concern with rights and licensing.
