I love this Ron Gervais and agree! This resonates because, in addition to my love of animation as a craft, I dabble in woodworking, and it brings to mind the debate between hand-tool woodworking and power-tool woodworking. You hold both with your hands, but one adds an electronic element. Is one less pure and creative than the other if the result is beneficial? I think this paints a picture of where we are today. We have seen some rough work coming out as well as some examples with little purpose, strategy or consideration for the client and audience. I think the wonder of what is possible drives most of this excitement, just like any new technology. Some will adopt, some will not, and the debate will continue. Think back to when After Effects was introduced. A program that could magically/with code interpolate the intention of an animator between two keyframes. Motion design, in the production stage at its basic level, is an industry built on keyframes and the idea that a computer can "fill in the rest". With AI, we are experiencing this same feeling but on a massive scale, impacting every industry. The idea that AI can learn makes us uncomfortable because it goes beyond the boundaries of the two keyframes we set and derives a new direction or conclusion, be it derivative or not, from our input. I think we will have to adapt how we see our roles in the creative process and continue to do so as the tools we use change our perception of what creativity and craft are. As Ron Gervais says, the audience, client and consumer that matters. So the value is in understanding where they are coming from and where they want to go. As creatives, we use the tools available to help reach these goals, combining strategy and creativity. Some studios like BUCK, with AI-driven chatbot experiments and LAUNDRY, with GAIA, have embraced AI tools to fuel their passion and imagination. ------------------ Buck: https://lnkd.in/gubkxmvh ------------------- Laundry: https://lnkd.in/g6UXSUZQ ------------------- #designcommunity #ai #creative #passion

With all the recent announcements surrounding the AI space, it's easy to get caught up in the excitement. However, I think it's important to remember a few key things. AI is a powerful and incredible tool, but it's passion that fuels creativity and craftsmanship ensures resonance. When we pour our hearts into our designs and animations, we create experiences that speak directly to the core of our audience. Let's not forget that at the end of the day, it's the audience/client/consumer that matters. When all the shine dulls on this new toy, we still need to create things with purpose that connect authentically with people. So, let's keep our focus on crafting beautiful experiences with passion and designing for connection. #CraftedWithPassion #DesignForConnection

Tomorrow I’m meeting Edward Furlong. People will ask him about his role in Terminator 2, but I got another gem to pick his brain about: Brainscan. The cult classic from 1994. It’s about a teenager (Furlong) who becomes obsessed with a VR game called "Brainscan." [spoiler alert] In the game, he takes on the role of a killer, and discovers that the murders he commits are happening in real life. [/spoiler end] Its uniqueness led to a solid fanbase. Actually today, it still resonates with people into unconventional storytelling (like me). Here’s why: 1. The Trickster. Obviously, a good story has a multi-dimensional villain that is conjured via a CD-ROM. As a villain, Trickster: - embodies darker aspects of human nature while losing ourselves in immersive experiences, - represents consequences of embracing new tech without fully understanding its impact on society and psychology. Sounds familiar? 2. Blend of reality / fantasy. “Real, unreal, what's the difference?” - Trickster The movie greatly blends elements of reality / fantasy in a VR world. It's a reminder for us creators to find the balance between realism / fantasy in our content creation process. Why? Because realism ensures authenticity and relatability, while fantasy sparks imagination and creativity. This is really important. I believe that when you balance the two, you leverage the full potential of AI to create stories that feel both authentic and imaginative. Win-win. 3. Interactive Storytelling. The VR game "Brainscan" generates scenes based on the user's actions. Will AI allow us to prompt story directions? In stead of watching a movie, we are being one? ”It depends on the individual. What makes Brainscan unique is that it interfaces with your subconscious. You supply the inspiration, and we take care of the rest.” - Trickster brAInscan indeed. Where do you think this will go? Follow me if you want to create video with AI. #AI #VideoCreation #EthicalTech #Innovation #BrainscanLessons

Hey LinkedIn Folks, Exciting times! 🚀 I've embarked on a creative journey with the "Rise of Godzilla" AI Video Sequence, leveraging some of the latest #ai tech in our industry. Here’s a snapshot of the tools and phases involved: 1. Pre-production: Kicked off with Anthropic claude ai for scripting and generating video prompts—a solid start! 2. Production: Intro Shots: The intro shots were crafted using Runway Gen-3 Alpha, yielding stunning tranquil ocean scenes, a detailed fisherman close-up, and vibrant crowd shots. The first 10 seconds of the video sequence are entirely powered by gen-3 alpha. Main Visuals: Utilized Midjourney for crafting the iconic Godzilla and helicopter scenes. The detail is just spectacular! Animation: Godzilla: Brought to life using Haiper1.5's image-to-video functionality. Helicopter: Animated with Luma AI Dream Machine, exploring its First Frame/Last Frame tools. 3. Post-Production: Sound Effects: Created with Pika Labs. Background Music: Composed with Suno AI. For video editing, I tried Canva for the first time, and its Beat Sync feature was a game changer in syncing the visuals to the BGM. Final Touch: The entire sequence was upscaled using Vmake.ai for that crisp, high-definition finish. You can watch the Upscale Video Here : http://surl.li/oveqmn I’m thrilled to share this project with you and eager to hear your thoughts. Your feedback is invaluable!
