I understand the AI video you posted doesn't represent you or the quality of your work, don't sweat it.
Here is my problem
I am not a filmmaker. I will never be a filmmaker.
These statements are logically incompatible to me.
If you make short videos then you will become a filmmaker.
It sounds like you've answered your own question.
Since you will never be a filmmaker, you will never make short little videos for your screenplays, thread question solved.
It sounded like you're getting frustrated, that's not my intention.
I don't want to come off antagonistic, I actually have a 5 page script of my own - The Saddest Painting - and I'm too busy writing a novel to produce my short script. I can empathsize with your situation exactly.
I'd like to have my short script turn into a movie too, and I think AI is a good solution for visuals! Just not AI voice.
Nobody
loves listening to soulless AI dialogue, it's not gonna hook audiences the way a talented actor can. People do love looking at SOME AI visuals though.
To advertise the 5 page script, the hardest part is finding the voice actors... once you have that... 15 seconds or 5 minutes... you're paying the actors for the whole days wage.
One day I'm going to use actors for real voice and make the 5 page short with AI animation - it could be done in one weekend.
Afterward if someone wants to remake my film in live action that would be awesome.
Films get remade all the time. Maybe that will happen. Maybe the real actors and cool AI visuals will connect with people, who knows.
AI shorts are uncharted territory.
I haven't done it yet since AI video is evolving so rapidly, it's probably good enough visually now tbh... maybe one day Nate North and I will make The Saddest Painting into a short. He's been neck deep in the AI video stuff for years.
