[@thomasscott2426]

As someone who recently learned AI just 3 days ago, i can confirm that this is doable. Wrote my first script for a movie and AI helped me bring it somewhat to life. Its just a trailer but i plan i going all the way with it.

[@theycallmelucky]

here's where i need your help: 1. provide 10 simple comma - separated keywords describing of the main character; what they look like and what they are wearing 2. Break the story further and break it down into different shots for each shots provide 10 simple comma - separated keywords in this structure - camera angle and position -Action, environment , time of day, lighting -Dont include: camera movement sound PROMPT might help.

[@Inspired_JG]

One additional recommendation with midjourney is to use the style reference (-sref url). I have a short on my channel showing the results for reference.

[@MDMZ]

great tip, I think it's better to use cref, since sref is more for style referencing

I'm currently wrking on a short animated story for children. The difficult part is consistancy between shot, poses, the character are never the same. More easy with realistic style

[@MDMZ]

it's true, you might be able to get more consistency if you're prompts are more detailed and descriptive

Can you use your own photos and videos for A.I video editing? If so what sites and programs can you use?

[@enricociacchi94]

[@healthwealthgurus]

Hi how do you ensure a character generated in mid journey remains consistent in each generated image. Ie they look the same ?

[@MDMZ]

you can use a face swap tool after selecting your images, and having detailed prompts with consistent character description helps a lot too

[@Onlison]

The author is correct. It's a known technique. The better method is create a blank background of the general figure (person) you're using, and when prompting; your goal is to add in the background, leaving the figure (person), untouched. The more you edit images, which were created by computers, the image becomes inconsistent; as our forms of art don't always match a computer's idea of art. - Onlison

[@jmbeats_prod]

Is there a video of yours that teaches you how to use your own video and use artificial intelligence and make another video with a moving background?! For example, I want to take a video of myself with my face and then play it on the A.I. and put a moving scene, where in my eyes it shows a city with buildings. When I open my mouth, smoke comes out and in the background there is nature full of animals flying and walking. I want to make a video like this for my album.

[@MDMZ]

that's to specific, might as well use traditional editing tools, lots of masking, rotoscoping, and you can use AI for certain parts, it's even more fun that way

[@sanjayt4862]

System requirements??

[@MDMZ]

no specific system requirements for midjourney, Gen2 works on the cloud so it's irrelevant, your best bet is to give it a shot

How to get consistent pictures

[@MDMZ]

make sure your prompts are as specific as possible

[@biosecurePM]

You also need cinematography and the most important is sound/music selection and cutting: m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWaTYpSOosmLaqs

[@lunazamoraart]

This is wonderful but other than being super creative, how is it useful?

[@MDMZ]

creative IS useful, we'll see this and other similar methods implemented in commercials/movies really soon

[@zytnpltr]

Yeah, I've watched all these types of videos and It's still nearly impossible to get the consistency to really flow. Makes it nearly impossible to tell a story with a fluid character. Even when using the same descriptive prompts for each shot, adding the new scene, it's practically a new character each time lol. This will be killer in a few updates but for now.....sigh

How do you get away from that cheesy ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ look/aesthetic & get something, overall, more classy - like Hugh Hudson’s shots of Istanbul - at the start of ‘Midnight Express’; or, to use a contemporary example: ‘Baltimore/Rose’s War’ (Imogen Poots)

you can try to specify that in the prompt

[@scolexuk]

I dont consider that you make a film this way -- you ask a computer to make a film for you. Ditch the Chat GPT and use your own creativity. Please.

[@MDMZ]

ditch your keyboard and use a pigeon to send me this feedback

[@scolexuk]

@@MDMZ Chat GPT, can you give me a "witty" riposte to a comment that touched a nerve?

[@scolexuk]

And lest I succumb to the temptation to make a sarcastic comment without addressing the substance of your response -- Your "keyboard/pigeon" analogy doesn't work, and this is why: You'll notice that I didn't recommend getting rid of every AI tool in your proposed workflow, only the use of Chat GPT to come up with a shooting script. The purpose of these technologies is to allow us to overcome material restraints. In the example of the pigeon, I use the computer because it would otherwise be nearly impossible to get a message to you. But the pigeon/keyboard doesn't write my message for me. Traditional filmmaking is expensive and requires resources both human and financial that are well beyond what is available to the vast majority of potential filmmakers. This is why it makes sense to use whatever other tools are available to get the film from page to screen. But from brain to page? There is no such restriction when it comes to writing a shooting script or conceiving a storyboard. Why should we use an LLM to do something that is available to anyone with a brain and a piece of paper? What restrictions are being overcome in that case? I never suggested the film would be bad, just that it wouldn't in any real sense be the product of your own creativity. I'm not being a technophobe when I choose to walk around a shop instead of using a mobility scooter. You would be rightly suspicious, even contemptuous, of an able-bodied person who chose to do so. And such a person would soon find him/herself unable to walk around without such assistance. In addition, such AIs are designed to give the most statistically likely response. By their very nature, they cannot be "creative" in the generally understood sense. Any scene that you allow an AI to write for you will only rehash what it has seen already, denying you the opportunity for any genuinely personal expression. The difference between Lars von Trier and Alfred Hitchcock lies precisely in the step that you are proposing be handed over, unnecessarily, to a computer. As with the person who allows a scooter to do their walking for them, any human ability that is not used will eventually wither and die. By all means, use AI tools to do what you cannot do on your own. But if you can't even conceive of how to tell a story visually without the use of an LLM, or are too lazy or scared to try, then you are not a filmmaker, you are a prompt engineer.
