    An animated AI Scene created from static images using audio as the primary input.

    Looks pretty good! Might want to hit the despill a little harder in your resolve key settings. I've also had good luck with about a negative 50 setting of the in out under the masks refiner. Action and interaction is the biggest obstacle right now, And the way I've solved it is by building a...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Hey sorry it took me so long to reply to this I had a couple of migraines earlier in the week, In addition to a very heavy work week after that. There are a couple of other reasons that it's taking me a while to respond. It's complicated. One issue is that some of the questions you're...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    It's an interesting idea. The only major hole I could poke in it is that it feels like it would be a slow rollout. Depending on what you want to happen, it might be perfect, and I understand some of your strategy there. My design is more geared towards people binging videos to follow a plot...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Well, I do have answers to all of this. in reverse order. 3. I built one of the first generative music AI programs back in 2000. It was relatively simple by today's standards. It was essentially an expert system that was given an understanding of how music theory and mixing worked, and then...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Indietalk probably has more information about my project than anywhere else at this point. For a few years I built out a discord server and we had about 50 people join and try to work with me on the project. I eventually just soft closed that server, simply because the vast majority of people...

    That can be a genuine challenge at Domino's.

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    I'll post a couple extra videos here. This one shows what's probably the most significant concept in terms of how my pipeline works. It was built from the ground up for CYOA development, and I expect you'll see this and understand immediately what it means. Here are a couple showing what I...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Ok, good news bad news. But mostly good. Your qualifications are pretty much ideal. Honestly, you couldn't be better positioned on the tech end at least. You can absolutely run everything on a bunch of rented cloud GPUS, and some aspects have to be done externally, for access to A100 cards...

    ai AI Movie - Next Stop Paris

    How wasted did I get in college? It's hard to explain in a direct fashion. Honestly I feel under-qualified to pen an account of the events of that era. You'd really have combine Boroughs and Kafka In one of those gene splicing machines from "the fly" to get anywhere close to an accurate...

    ai AI Movie - Next Stop Paris

    Did you ever get drunk while you were in college, and get really hungry in the middle of the night? You get out one of those oven pizzas from the freezer and it says to cook it 350 degrees for 1 hour, but you're starving and your brain is on the fritz from drinking tropical punch Kool-aid mixed...

    Hi, I'm an idiot engineer and proud of it.

    Welcome! Those demos are a bit old now, here's the most recent one, if you're interested in this technology for CYOA filmmaking. Basically I just looked at some efficient models for old school animation studios, and replaced as many roles as possible with AI automation. You still have to do...

    A Life Across the Street - Super 8 Documentary Film

    I wish more people appreciated this niche genre, so that it could be more bankable for studios. Cinematography driven guided meditation? I've never really known what to call it, but I watch every movie in this genre 10x. Found Chronos in the local library as a kid, and then watched everything...

    suggestion New look

    I think that the new site changes might kill momentum. People aren't really using the status updates that much, Making it a very slow moving feed, burying the more live aspect of the site (new posts) a click under the front page. I feel like you probably already know all this, So I'm just a...

    software Is there an AI for cutting, framing and switching camera?

    No such thing currently exists. Well, something vaguely fitting that description exists, It kind of depends on what level of editing you want it to do. I think there is something out there right now that will switch angles on a multicam automatically in an edit using the audio for continuity...

    A Life Across the Street - Super 8 Documentary Film

    Came back to watch this one again. Really well done. I know first hand what it takes to put together something like that, and I really appreciate the years of hard work you've put in to create something genuine. It reminds me of Ron Frickie's work, which is about the biggest compliment I can...

    Taking Runway Gen 3 for a test drive

    I'm glad to hear it, In the Death March video I'm using the ai video engine I built myself (the Save Point pipeline), In this video with the motorcycle I'm using the runway Gen 3 engine. Their engine is currently much better with movement, But my custom Engine is much better suited towards...

    Death March art demo

    This one is still taking shape in terms of the plot. I wrote an 85 page script for it but then decided a week later that it wasn't dense enough, So I made that script into just the first act and I'm now writing two more sections. Basically my idea is for this to be like a trilogy in one movie...

    Taking Runway Gen 3 for a test drive

    Thanks this was originally supposed to be kind of a sequel to my old video cloth world, But upon addition of the motorcycle I thought it might work as a spec video. The cat is not gone forever, I'm just doing a few other things right now. This one has been kind of a divisive video with some...

    A Hazardous Favor

    Really nice job on this it looks like you put a lot of effort into getting the lighting right. Solid dramatic scene. The situation feels believable.

    Taking Runway Gen 3 for a test drive

    Every time a new tool or algorithm comes out, I test drive it, to see where they're at, and if it might be of some use in my process chain. So a few days ago Runway Gen 3 arrived, in it's most basic form, and I made a spec video for a smaller band as a test of it's workflow. I'll send this...
