It's me, hi, I'm the guest it's me. Thanks for having me on guys!! IRL meetup soon.

[@curiousrefuge]

Thank you so much for stopping by. And Swizzle reference is 💯

[@DaftFatuity]

Very much enjoyed this discussion! We're building a channel that's a mix of mock game shows and comedy, and we listed Runway in the credits. The Runway technology is a lot of fun, and has noticeably continued its improvement over the last several months. If you have any advice on how to get better audience shots, let us know. The applause has been hit or miss, but some of the hand movements were serviceable and we kept them. Thanks to both Runway and Curious Refuge!

Super good Episode!!! one of my favourites!!

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@CREATIVEAIGENCY]

This is excellent thank you for sharing. My head started to explode (in a good way) around 56min

[@curiousrefuge]

So glad you enjoyed this episode! :)

Has everyone missed that Leonardo AI has a new upscaler that is as good, or even better, than Magnific AI? If not, this is a huge deal. Sure, the upscale is only 2x atm, but heck does it look good. So much more affordable than Magnific too!

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks for the comment - we'll have to include that in a new video shortly :)

[@Native_Creation]

Great to hear

[@tstone9151]

That’s what I’m most excited about. The fact that only good stories will be recognized because there’s too many bad stories with good visuals

[@curiousrefuge]

Exactly! We are going to see a new wave of great AI storytellers very soon :)

[@armondtanz]

thirst...

[@curiousrefuge]

Thirst for......GREAT AI CONTENT :)

[@armondtanz]

@@curiousrefuge you do great stuff. Learn a lot from you guys. The links and chapters are very useful. Keep searching for great animation solutions.

[@hermj]

100% Agree. Story, Character, and Emotion will it great, tech will only make it good.

[@curiousrefuge]

Exactly! Human emotion injected into projects will rise to the top!

[@GoldenbellTraining]

This is amazing. Does he teach this stuff on his KZbin channel? I'm like the student on his call - "What's a nerf?" 😂

[@curiousrefuge]

Look up NeRf and Gaussian splat :)

[@Scott-Zakarin]

You guys are so darn likable. - BTW, I just hired someone through your job board. :-)

[@curiousrefuge]

@scottzakarin - Aw we appreciate it! If you don't mind, we'd love to learn more about this experience on the job and how it all went down. Please email us at [e-mail] ! :)

[@Scott-Zakarin]

@@curiousrefuge Will do. Hopefully this is the first of many. -- Ive been sharing your videos with film-making friends I know can handle the future, without freaking out about it. ;-)

[@Native_Creation]

Some wonderful tips, storyteling is definitely a whole beast on its own. Took screenwriting courses in college. The interesting thing is that it can have some formulaic patterns to it as well, but it's definitely about knowing how to break through the cliches and personalizing the story being told.

[@curiousrefuge]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@gu9838]

its a shame your courses are so pricey but i assume it has top notch info so ;-) maybe i can check it out someday until then ill just rely on free online resources! but yeah 750 is a bit much for me. lol

[@curiousrefuge]

We're so sorry to hear that and we totally understand. We appreciate you watching and commenting and hope to see you in our community in the future!

[@cheneffective1983]

Hope you enjoyed this, Abel!

[@chazmginty7122]

Loved this video, and great to see the natural chemistry between the hosts. +1 for the motivational power of Drum'n'bass. One piece of constructive feedback I would give to Runway and pretty much most AI tools, is that they are heavily biased towards human faces and figurative art. Trying to manipulate or animate imagery of architecture, or machines or trying to make objects that feature some degree of abstraction but that still remains consistent across frames seems quite tricky (i.e think fo the kaleidoscopic building mutations from Dr Strange. Still feels easier to do in Houdini, but I'm sure that will change quickly)

[@curiousrefuge]

Thanks for watching and great feedback!

[@lunazamoraart]

That’s crazy. I live in Columbus, and I’ve never heard of this! 😂❤. I’ve heard of the town, but I never knew! You have inspired this 62 year old lady!! I spend all day in Midjourney but I’m headed to runway and I want to teach others!

[@curiousrefuge]

Awww we're so glad we inspired you! Thanks so much for watching!

[@JCPhotofeed-dv1dz]

Ah man, it's so true about Andrew Kramer! I can't imagine how many post people he's inspired over the years to follow their passions

[@curiousrefuge]

Yes exactly!

[@ArjunReddyt]

Worthy for spending 70 minutes of my time in my precious life

[@curiousrefuge]

What do you mean?
