    Ironically, when the narrator pronounces "polish" like the nationality and not the characteristic of refinement (7:21), it made me wonder if the narrator themselves were actually AI, in a video discussing the impact of AI on filmmaking.

    Hard disagree on many fronts. Realistic (figurative) painting was not appraised by its realism, but by its allegories. Just to expose one of the disagreements. Another one? OK. An ~entertainment~ "art" market driven by exploiting people's "data" (choices, decisions, tastes, preferences, behavioural patterns, etc.) does _not_ lend itself to "client-side" changes. It has already moulded our receptivity to its products and goods, so that any change feels fitting for us, because it has assessed our anxieties beforehand.

    i think there will naturally be an audience for the entire gamut of image making and storytelling out there, but when it comes to what you want to express this is a solid invitiation to think with intention, explore the tools and ways you want to tell a story. designers make choices, be aware of how easy it is to rely on defaults: "needs to be narrative, needs a 6k camera, needs a big crew and budget etc"

    Tyler's video is for a track that isn't released, that had no budget. He likely went out with some friends and a camera and just shot it. Nothing from his album looks like this. You've kinda taken the intent out of context.

    I think that something you are missing is that bazin already have talked about realism, and all you are saying isnt new, it's just that it was never mainstream, and the reason it is gaining that much space in mainstream media is that the media just are getting too much to the other side, the fetichism for the technology that you talked about in the video, but you lack some reading about the subject

  • @nolaffinmatter
    @nolaffinmatter 6 днів тому

    Mild disagreement with this essay: I feel like you're conflating "perfection" and "realism". The shift from photorealistic painting to expressionist painting still gave us plenty of paintings that looked "perfect", in the sense of being technically sophisticated and meticulously detailed. They were just using a more abstract style rather than a photorealistic style. Meanwhile the shift that you point to in filmmaking is doing the opposite - the "feature film shot on an iPhone" trope IS about "imperfection", but it's also about moving towards grounded realism. Sean Baker's Tangerine presents its world exactly as it appears to everyday people with no embellishment, which is the exact opposite of what the expressionist painters were doing, even if there are some parallels.

    Not everything is some big movement... Seems like every month somebody jumps up and says, "We're gonna shoot this way now, so lets go". Just because somebody chose to shoot with something cheaper doesn't mean everyone should. Whatever works for the idea is what works.

    But Tangerine is 10 years old at this point... Dogme 95 is 30 years old, lol. Also, unfortunately, it's only a matter of time before AI can create the look and feel of raw, handheld, low-fi footage and make it look authentic. But I do agree that it will never truly feel like it was made by a human.

    Although I agree with the general message of this video, comparing Tangerine, a movie from 10 years ago, to a music video that came out a month ago and saying they’re part of some natural progression is kind of a stretch IMO. We’re ignoring a decade of stuff that wasn’t like that but cherry picking examples to prove a point. We also had 10 years of Marvel films in the midst of a one off Sean Baker film.
