Making my Movie with AI - AI Filmmaking Ep1

Is it possible to shoot an entire movie in Midjourney?
This is the question, and indeed the quest, that has started to keep me awake at night.
It took me 10 years of laughter and tears and an extremely patient wife, but I did it... I wrote the most FANTASTIC screenplay for the movie that I WOULD MOST LOVE TO WATCH...
But now there's a problem. With current Hollywood movie-making techniques, my enormously imaginative movie would be too expensive to shoot for the modest ticket sales and the lowly audience figures of a RomCom.
Yep, if it was left to traditional filmmaking techniques, this movie would never be made. But then along comes Midjourney and the wonders of AI, and I started to wonder just how far away we are from me being able to create the entire feature film myself, just with the help of my laptop and A.I.

On a different note, if you feel like charming your way into the hearts of the women in your life (wife, GF, mother, sisters, lovely cat lady next door who watches your house for you while you're away...)
Consider buying the eBook of my screenplay, "Telepathy SUCKS!"
I spent more than a decade laughing and crying (literally) whilst I wrote the screenplay, and it's the reason this entire channel exists.

I like how you are managing your expectations while still being excited about making an entire movie with AI

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Hey, thanks very much :-) The fun thing about Midjourney is that there are some brilliant ways to begin to breath life into the story. I’m genuinely really excited about creating visuals to match my screenplay even if the movie version is some way off.

[@pylesofmedia]

Sounds awesome! I'm looking forward to seeing where this goes!

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks very much 🙂

[@deeplearningdummy]

Love this video. It's the perfect setup for its own story of your journey to produce your other story.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Hey, thanks so much! Well spotted on my personal storyline opportunity btw. You must know a thing or two about REAL storytelling ;-)

[@BJSabet]

Great idea, mate... I wrote a rom com 10 years ago and pitched it but it got turned down. Super interested to watch your journey, love the idea and your presentation! Keep up the spirit. Anyways, subbed...

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Hey, thanks very much! I'm just prepping for the next video now, and the whole video series is going to be exactly for writers like yourself with screenplays that they'd love to see turned into a movie 🙂

[@THESVLTA44]

This opens up a whole new world of, POCS (Proof of Concept)

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Absolutely!

[@-N0PE-]

This is more than promising as an entertaining channel :D Just subcribed and I am more than interested on where your journy will go.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks very much indeed. Great to have you on board 🙂

[@theeggylegs]

Oh boy, I'm along for the ride! Subscribed already. You might like to learn more about ControlNet, Convai, and Kaiber. Looking forward to your progress and updates!

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Heyyyyy, thanks very much! 🙂 ControlNet, Convai, and Kaiber are the first recommendations I'll add to the list of apps to check out 🙂

[@nero.unleashed]

Looking forward to seeing your progress mate

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Cheers, bud. 🙂

[@TheStraightPath]

instead of midjourney, i recommend you look into stable-diffusion with lora trained models and controlnet. it solves much of the consistency problems

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks very much, I've added stable-diffusion and controlnet to my list of Midjourney alternatives to check out. 🙂

[@guyhyams4469]

Wow.. I love your enthusiasm.. It sure looks as if technology is getting there.. Looking forward to see how it enrolls.. Best of luck.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Heyyyy, thanks very much! 🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@enriqueleon4806]

I want to see the movieeeeee :o, new suscruber over here

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks very much!!! 🙂

[@KeenyNewton]

I want to see how this goes. Following.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Thanks very much. Great to have you on the journey 🙂

[@kushwahamardeepsinghharish8436]

Hey really loved the concept. I would also like to be part of this journey, maybe offer some ideas of my own (hopefully XD)

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Absolutely, please do share your insights. This is such a new arena that there are no experts with years of experience, just people with an enthusiastic willingness to learn.

[@michaelfedora]

I'm in for the ride. Interested to see where it goes. But I think technology you're asking for will be available sooner than you suggested in the video. Chat GPT-4 is 10x smarter than its predecessor 3.5 from November last year. At this rate the next iteration could be smarter beyond human comprehension. Currently it's IQ is 152 which is just shy of Einstein's IQ and is already smarter than 99% of humans. I know that this is a different tool but if other AI engines follow suit then... Well, you know.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

I agree entirely, the rate of development is staggering.

[@kyomuhendogodwin8419]

I'm following bro

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Hey, thanks a lot. Great to have you along for the ride 🙂

[@DennisKussener]

maybe not really what you are looking for but have you take a look at 'Cine Tracer'? not really director oriented, more for dp's and gaffers I guess, but with som creativity it could be intresting!

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Oooooohhhh, Cine Tracer is the closes thing I've come across to the movie-making video game I'm dreaming of, but unfortunately, they haven't caught the mass-market vision I was hoping for. Absolutely love their work though.

[@swinnshrimpie]

Kill the background music. It distracts from what you are saying. The smash cut style of editing also takes away from what you are saying. The voices are already there if you are willing to narrate your own script and play your own characters. There is an AI voice solution already. As to actors, you are looking right now at avatars to drop into UnReal Engine. Then you need mocap, which there are AI solutions for already. I'm on the same path as you and this is what I am doing.

[@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker]

Love it, great to have you on board. Unreal Engine and actors in MoCap suits absolutely is the closest thing I've come across yet, but I'm dreaming of something even easier to use. I mean, literally like a video game level of usability, but with MoCap suits as input devices along with a traditional hand controller.
