    Name the Animated Celebrity

    While I don't use unlicensed celebrities in the Save Point project I do absolutely have the technology built to do so whenever that opportunity becomes available. In the meantime, I thought it might make for a fun game to put some famous faces into the new art style, and see if people could...

    Death March preview

    Thanks! Your comment is spot on. Creating a system where I can have all the advantages of computer animation, without the huge disadvantage that the uncanny valley typically brings alongside it was the goal from day one. I've never really been able to put into words why the "Secret of Nihm"...

    Death March preview

    So this clip is just showing how I've fine tuned the art style for this project over the last few days. I feel like it's improved. I did forget to turn on the blinking for a few of these clips, And there's not a ton of motion in this one, It's mainly just about the visual improvements. Some...

    Memories

    Huh, I didn't remember that scene specifically but I won't rule out that a distant memory of it may have inspired this. I will note that my scene is 5 minutes long and cost $3. lol.

    software Luma Labs Creates AI Videos For You

    I tried it out. For serious film banking purposes it's not even as good as what I've already got built so I paid attention to it for about two hours and then tossed it into the garbage. I think they really cherry picked their examples to a crazy degree, People got excited and sent them a bunch...

    Memories

    Just a quick art film side project to take a break from working on Death March. Got out the instruments and scored this one myself for once.

    I'm personally convinced that when Rupert Murdock dies and goes to hell, he will awaken to find himself in a tiny room with no doors and a huge television playing "Green Arrow" on auto repeat until the end of time.

    series What series are you watching?

    How can you watch 3/4 of Succession and stop? I kind of feel like you're past the point of no return. Will David Schwimmer ever inherit his angry father's empire? Will cousin Greg suffer a severe head trauma that lowers his IQ to "Candidate Range" and then inherit the family fortune, putting...

    series What series are you watching?

    I actually have a recommendation for once. For the last year I keep hearing this name "Glen Powell", and I have no idea who he is. I thought maybe it was made up. The context is weird, because people are saying "top actors like Tom Holland and Glen Powell are doing great this year" or "Jay Z...

    ai AI Video has arrived - It looks incredible

    These are not good videos IMHO. Sure, there are plenty of awkward details to pick at, but the main flaw is the approach/mentality. Ever seen Spielberg or Lean film a 5 year old (Poltergeist in example)? You don't need a great, experienced actor if you have a competent director. Really what...

    Death March preview

    Ok, I tried to implement some of that feedback, added more voice expression and timing, added blinking, adams apple movement, some dynamic shadows, here's a look at a few days of progress on the voice+lipsync tech. I'll continue improving it of course, but I think the added animation and...

    Death March preview

    I partially agree with you, but I think your perception is more valid for some of the clips than others. I agree that the fixed shots, such as the younger indian soldier, are kind of dead, less compelling, and draw attention to the mouth. In contrast, that first clip isn't bad. I'm just...
