These Runway AI Video Updates are Insane!

[@MindBlowingXR]

Yes, I want a video about how the film industry is going to change in the next 3 years. Thank you!

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks! We'll make sure that's on the near future docket! :)

[@TroubleShotVFX]

Here's a sneak preview... It isn't going to change.

[@Sn4fu]

I appreciate that this is one of the few Ai news channels that isn't completely ai generated. It's so annoying how impossible it is to connect with the information when it's just an ai generated script voice, images and edit. Your videos are a breath of fresh air in a cold void of AI generated ai news aggregation

[@curiousrefuge]

We appreciate the kind words and you watching our content. We try to connect with our audience as best we can :)

[@overpope3510]

​@curiousrefuge Is this comment AI generated? Most likely

[@Jtitor177]

The demand for A list celebs and all celebs will diminish in time. AI Films will create characters that do not exist in IRL. People will eventually only care about the stories and characters. Not the “people” who tell the stories and play the characters. Hollywood as it has existed is on its way out.

[@curiousrefuge]

You might be right! We think this technology will certainly change the industry. However, existing creatives in the film industry can also use these tools to do amazing things.

[@verzeda]

Hollywood is an insane nepotistic cult full of self obsessed weirdos that are vastly overpaid for their craft. And I work in film. Couldn't happen to a more deserving industry.

[@Jtitor177]

@@curiousrefuge Oh definitely. A friend of mine works in the indie film industry and has for years. He and his production company are looking at all the ways they can utilize and adopt AI in your their workflows and processes. I think with Hollywood however there will come a time when paying millions of dollars a film to actors will be obsolete and a thing of the past relinquishing any power and influence the Hollywood elite had on society. Will take time and at the soonest I feel that won’t be until the 2030’s at the latest but it will happen regardless.

[@rafalz1147]

I have different prediction. With good branding we will have a lot of new fully virtual ai movie stars with big fan base. And people won't give a f :) Instagram and onlyfans accounts, interviews, live events, chatbots etc

[@readingbetweentheframes]

This is incredible and a tool that is going to completely uproot the Hollywood machine. Time to get to work. Thank you!

[@rick_amsterdam]

There is just so much out there at such a rapid speed... How am I supposed to keep up?? I'm starting to feel so overwhelmed 🤯🤯🤯

[@curiousrefuge]

It's true - there is so much news coming at us at such a fast rate. One way to keep up is to subscribe and check in with the Curious Social accounts :)

[@krystilla]

Great video, its nice to see some things i had to spend hours digging around for in a neat video; especially in the constant sea of new ai programs and whatnot

[@curiousrefuge]

We appreciate the kind words, Krystilla!

[@chatbury]

I hope you guys will be happy when AI is creating ‘content’ for the silver screen… Because as exciting as it may seem, that’s a whole lot of soul that’s gonna be lost not to mention the jobs.

[@curiousrefuge]

I empathize with your point of view - however we believe in a sea of content, it will be the content that humans work to put soul into that will stick out :)

[@LeaveTheStageKamala]

It's not really possible. It only shifts job descriptions, but doesn't actually get rid of them. Let's say I needed to pay for someone to draw in the past. Now, I have to pay someone to know how to use the IA materials to do the drawing. There will still be plenty of work.

[@TeddyLeppard]

I would also like to see an in-depth "timeline" of what's next in this new era for filmmakers.

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks for watching, noted! :)

[@jstubbles]

"Ai Filmmaker" lol. Yes, the high talent of entering text strings. Such skill, much wow!

[@curiousrefuge]

Ideate, Script, Generate x1,000, Inpaint, Edit, Sound Design, SFX and repeate for every different scene. There is quite a bit of work!

[@jstubbles]

@@curiousrefuge Sure, raw grunt work that any person with half a brain can do. It removes all of the raw creativity of the DP or Director and turns it into a homogenized process. Click this button, sell result, profit. Removing the humanity from artwork just makes that artwork pointless. There's no life or soul in it anymore.

[@arbitool]

@@jstubbles I think you just described the next stage of capitalism.

[@vijaypratap1124]

Yes please. I want a video on the presentation made that showcases how AI is gonna impact film-making in coming year. Please make the video.

[@talkdigital5040]

Your presentation style captivated me until the very end. Unfortunately, after paying for my three kids' tuition fees, I only have a few dollars left, otherwise, I would have definitely signed up for the course. It certainly looks like amazing content but keep up the good work and the 50 cents joke was awesome!

[@madcommodore]

Gen-2's biggest competition is Moonvalley's Text to Video. Moonvalley is also free and completely unrestricted allowing full creative extensive testing without any investment. Runway is old news until they offer the creative genius a free pass on their system. If you are not on Moonvalley you have no idea what you are doing.

[@curiousrefuge]

Agree to disagree - both tools have their use cases :)

[@detolao]

Lol yeah let’s listen to @curiousrefuge’s totally trustworthy, unbiased opinion

[@jetuber]

Fascinating and very worthwhile information. Thank you. I especially appreciate the Runway updates. As a side note, I can't believe that anyone would ever willingly try to add that gross teal-and-orange colour grading to, well, anything. Of all colour combinations, that has got to be the most unappealing, and it still amazes me that that it has become the monolithic, go-to approach to colour distortion in an outsize majority of films and TV shows. I long for the days of the full colour spectrum that we used to see in movies.

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks so much for the comment and for watching. Runway is definitely constantly at the forefront of this generative tech. Perhaps the full color will come back as a new and updated trend :)

[@pq2667]

Welcome back.....wonderfully informative video, many thanks. Please do make the video regarding the ai/movie making/industry in the near future...

[@jeffg4686]

The Motion Brush is nice - it's a good start. That fire leaves a lot to be desired at this point, but it's easy to see the direction where this is headed.

[@eyoo369]

Anything that AI struggles at can be fixed if you throw more compute / training time to it. Pretty sure by the end of next year we have video perfected

[@curiousrefuge]

Very true! Still a while to go but lots of great progress made each month :)

[@gnoel5722]

What I want to see is an AI text/image to digital mesh tool... can you imagine? You input a text or image and you get a mesh out of it. Hours and hours (or $$$ if you buy them) saved to create a video game.

[@curiousrefuge]

That would be really cool!

[@gu9838]

ill be honest while i found some of those tools interesting. i felt overall their video quality was not there just yet for me..until now........with runway gen 3 alpha DAYS away. i think they will finally have for the first time REAL tools to empower anyone to make really cool videos and short films on a almost but not quite sora level i cant wait! gen 2 was OK gen 3 is gonna rock the world! his timeframe may not be that far off though. in just a few days runway gen 3 is coming then sora soon so yeah cant wait!

[@InnerLightspirit]

thank you for this upload

[@curiousrefuge]

Our pleasure!

[@dacianherbei]

In hind sight this reminds me the magic of natural motion endorphin engine that made the world of change in Matrix in the way it animated the way models moved just by describing the intention. This does a similar thing for something way more generic and difficult. The algorithms learned to juggle with hard mathematical problems like light propagation or fluid dynamics. Can't wait to see what will happen in 2-3 years time.

[@curiousrefuge]

Great analysis - thanks for watching and commenting !

[@aigirlsjourney]

Thx for greate reviews, It looks like 5 months in AI tech is like 5 years in other sectors.

[@MoonShoesPotter]

So, when you were showing Nicolas Nupert's videos, you had negative prompts on the screen. Were those negative prompts from his text to image, or from his image to video? Can you do negative prompts with image to video?

[@curiousrefuge]

Yes, those were in the images that he prompted, not the video.

[@billkemp9315]

This video was great! I want to use these tools to create marketing material for my company and its IP. The problem with LLM is that they are not always private; thus, a person's IP is at risk when using these tools. Are there private (non-public) options?

Always keep in mind all, no AI output can be copyrighted and rightfully so. AI content parasitises on real creative human labour and so do its users.

I tried to get ChatGPT 4 but it said I was on a waiting list? I'm brand new to all of this and I am hoping that the GPT4 can help create consistent characters for a movie I'm trying to make about my 5 dogs. Anything out there already for a consistent character generator for my pack of dogs?

[@curiousrefuge]

Character consistency is certainly tricky. It comes down to the consistency of your prompts too (and don't forget to use negative prompts!).

[@robbe4711]

But who controls everything? I wasn’t able to create an image in GPT-4 DALL-E with a guy smoking a cigarette, because of the guidelines.

Instead of people filming movies and creating animations…. You just literally create your own in a few seconds? That reality sounds both scary and interesting.

[@ChainedFei]

So apparently with those caveats in the union agreement, most every actor isn't going to have a job in two years. Slight variations on artifiical duplicates makes them no longer duplicates, so you could use a 96% likeness Samuel L. Jackson and claim that because there is a variance, it's entirely original. clever of the studios to do that, but Hollywood itself is doomed.

[@curiousrefuge]

I hear what you're saying, I just can't imagine that would actually hold up in court which ultimately will mean more than the contract agreement.
