A.I. has many flaws. It is being overhyped and the hype purposely avoids mentioning its weaknesses. Yes A.I. will improve over time but the quality of media has gone downward in accuracy since A.I. was introduced
It will serve as a tool for creatives to realize their visions, whether to pitch to existing studios or to create new indie ones. It will accelerate production and assist filmmakers.
A shortcut for execs to try to save money, only to lose 100 bn dollars In record time because low effort corner cutting isn't magically different because it has a techy coat of paint on it
My prediction is: If everyone can make movies, no one will make movies except those that want to make movies. Right now almost everyone has a phone camera that can shoot 4k 60fps. Filmmakers are empowered far more than any other time in history. Yet we are not seeing thousands of 4k home made films in cinema's. Or thousands of fantastic feature films on UA-cam. What many non-filmmakers don't realise is that films are not a science, they are not scripts that are perfectly executed from script to screen. Great stories are made from a greater amount of skill, luck, mistakes, passion, and complete production disasters. It's like falling down a set of stairs and an oscar falls out of your pocket. That's how predictable a film's success is. There is no pattern for AI to copy because films are not made from patterns but from complete chaos, creativity and executive producers final edit. Ask anyone who's worked on a Hollywood film. Even if AI can make the perfect film, global events, competition, release dates, marketing, and audience appeal can affect its success. What AI will do and is already doing is enhancing a filmmaker's ability to bring their vision to some kind of life and that's a great reason to embrace AI right there.
Thanks for watching my interview. We have actually asked hundreds who work on Hollywood films (as interviews for our startup), and have worked on dozens ourselves in Toronto, LA, and Vancouver (as 1st AD and other roles). Everyone knows movies ARE mostly made from patterns. Just ask anyone who has read Save The Cat (Syder), The Hero With A Thousand Faces (Campbell), Screenplay (Field), Story (McKee), etc. Characters almost always follow one of the 5 arcs. 3 acts. 15 or 40-beat Beat Sheets from Prologue to Epilogue. Almost every Hollywood film follows one of a dozen archetypes going back before the Ancient Greeks, from the "Romeo Juliet" star-crossed lovers trope, to the buddy comedy, to the hero's journey, to the road story, and more. Sometimes people break the mold like Nolan's "Memento" or Tarantino's "Reservoir Dogs" but AI can actually learn our patterns and invent new ones, like AlphaGo's Move 37 inventing new creative movies for a 3000 year old game. But I love and agree with your last point that AI can help bring vision to life by reducing time and cost. $250M Blockbusters are no longer a signal of quality movies, and now people can compete on story instead of VFX which is a great reason to embrace AI, totally agree.
@@writeonsaga Thanks for the reply, great to know you've investigated it with hundreds of Hollywood workers, can't argue with that :) 100% agree with all the patterns and story structures you mentioned and they are all valid and certainly need to be respected in the process. AI is also absolutely incredibly good at replicating, reformating, and structuring any story or idea you throw at it. I love it and use it as my assistant editor. I guess I'm just shining a light on my experience in blockbuster productions as I have worked on several of them in story departments. I've seen that if a director doesn't know what they want they will iterate until they run out of time or money or both. They don't make final decisions on VFX until the VFX company goes bust. Then desperately hack the edit until the producers have no time or money to fix or change anything. Sometimes they start shooting without the final script and change it every day on set. Then after the final cut, a paid scriptwriter will come in and write the 'final' 'screen-'play' based on the edit and not exactly what may have been the shooting draft. You maybe doing this already but I'd suggest getting the original screenplay that was sold to the studio, get the final 'screenplay' and film and let AI figure out the difference. Then throw in the director's and producer's profiles and any other key crew/actors that may have had an influence on the final film and let AI learn from all of them. Who they are and what they may have contributed to the story. I think that would give AI an understanding as to how and why decisions in films are made. A $250M blockbuster is a sign that the director had no idea what they wanted and spent a ton of money trying to find it, making stupid decisions whilst claiming artistic conflicts and fighting the studios who themselves have no idea and fight back. 'Everyone knows nothing in Hollywood' is the saying. Hope your AI startup goes well because we need every tool in the box. :)
@@arthurlivingstone-n9t These are great points I agree, if AI can help decrease wasted time and spend during Production, that's a huge win for all filmmakers. A great company called Flawless AI is saving people millions on re-shoots with an Actor-approval app that lets them preview and sign off on their voice/likeness. Will work wonders for translated "dubbing" as well saving the work and effort involved in so many different languages - all costly post.
Ai is absolutely outstanding.. It makes it possible for small film makers to do more with their film. Monsters, epic drone shots. And just in general clean up noise, and bad recordings. It’s definitely a new tool that is here to stay. And for the better!
UA-cam is adding Hollywood Blockbuster movies more and more every week, it's one of their biggest growth areas. They have purchases, rentals, and add-supported free options. It's going to be massive! As I said in the video, it's overtaken Streaming and Cable TV, and will probably be where most people watch their movies soon (competing with Netflix and Hulu strongly).
People who don't understand storytelling think current AI is just one step away from coming up with unique telling stories. Most human beings don't have the creativity and life experience to make great stories. Why would a search engine have either?
When Tarantino plagiarizes "City on Fire" and makes "Reservoir Dogs" everybody praises his genius. No one creates ex nihilo. People are algorithms too. Just slower.
@@albertabramson3157 clearly you’ve been living under a rock and don’t understand the history of cinema begining from Aristotle theatre to now, AI is stealing creatives blueprints dating back from the 1920s where story and narrative structure found its groove, if AI has all those original ideas from the studios that own the IP then what would it mean for working writers already battling the studios that don’t respect them enough and just nolsstagia bait people like you that discredit creatives battling a system that doesn’t value them. hollywood was built from great ideas and writers now if studios rather invest in IP until its sucked dry what do you think they’re gonna use AI for? to be creative? or simply to further kill hollywood and annilate the industry that made it what it use to be
@@albertabramson3157I would love to be able to prompt an AI to make a new Star Wars movie in the old style taking 'influences' from old pirate movies, westerns, or perhaps James Bond 😁
@@nobodyknows-t7v No but the part of this interview describing self-distribution on UA-cam was unrelated to AI. It is however, an example of how current technology can democratize the film industry and discover talented new creators like Issa all over the world, replacing the current model based on LA connections, being rich, getting lucky, being attractive, suffering abuse on the "casting couch", or other non-meritocratic pattern-matching measures Hollywood is stuck using today which (as mentioned in the video) is producing minimal quality original stories each year.
7:14 your prediction sucks as bad as the movies that A.I. “filmmakers” will be shitting out, filmmakers have already lost their jobs, couple of thousand by now, you do realize that animators are filmmakers ya?
Thanks for weighing in my bro, though I disagree that trying to learn and research AI advances every week (as mentioned in the video if you'd watch), to make a roadmap based on industry predictions so that we can make educated business decisions is absurd. There is no downside to me making predictions, and as this interview was filmed 10 months ago and all of the predictions have been coming true so far, I think it's been a good exercise. Do you not make predictions about the future of your industry?
My vision of an AI that can do what I want hasn't been developed yet. If I have to 'learn' how to use it, it is still not intelligent enough for me. Let me upload my .pdf script format, let it show me a 2 hour movie. Let me then voice interface with it to re-block/ change character appearance... etc. Also, instead of subscriptions where people with talent never see the light of day because they don't have money, the 'AI STUDIO' should give services free of charge with the understanding that they get half of ad-sense or other rev. I still see corporations trying to make art,.... LET THE ARTISTS BE FREE!
@@cjpapasito I think it should be used hand in hand. When I use it, I use it as a dictionary or thesaurus, or to give me a selection of words when my brain stops and cant think of a different one. I make sure to write my own lyrics when making music, but cannot do musical things on my own. Im thinking if I can find a good animation one it could help fill in the gaps instead of drawing every frame. I wouldnt just say AI come up with everything.
If the audience value and prefer human creativity over AI creations then AI will not take over. However, if AI is perceived to give better content by the audience then... AI is a competitor. Humans need to show better creativity and production vale than AI. That's all.
Thanks for watching, that's a rough take. We've been making movies before AI using the latest tech, and will continue after AI. We've put in our dues, completing Film School and Creative Writing courses, founding a Production Company, learning the trades and working jobs on Hollywood sets for 15 years from PA to 1st AD. We're just trying to reduce costs to make indie films, get in to film festivals, and get discovered in Hollywood. Audiences are what's important, and they only care about the story and visual quality, not the tools or budget used to make it. In no way are we traitors to human creativity, we're human creators. Model builders and costume designers called Directors using CGI in the 90's like James Cameron a traitor, but it gave us Titanic and Terminator 2 and Jurasic Park and some of the best movies ever. AI will be no different. Open your mind and try not to be so confrontational, you might like AI if you try it. Or not, and don't have to use it. Personal attacks are petty and beneath you I'm sure.
I want to enjoy the best arts. If it was created by AI or humans is of less interest to me. I simply want the best* (* and I hope humans delivers the best...)
@@mbj__ Good point! I think Anti-AI filmmakers are forgetting what the arts are really about: the audience! Audiences don't care about a film's budget or what technology was used to make it, only that it's good.
The same was said by puppeteers and analog VFX creators, costume designers, all for fear or replacing jobs when James Cameron invented CGI for The Abyss. While many jobs changed, watch the credits scroll at the end of movies today and you'll see hundreds more employed on a film compared with the 1920-1980s. It also gave us new possibilities like the T-1000 in Terminator 2, something that never would have been possible with models and puppets. Technology enables new stories to be told, like the de-aging used by Tom Hanks, Robert DeNiro, Will Smith, and countless others in recent years.
As I predict in the video, no human filmmaker has yet lost a job to AI, and I don't think any will. They can choose to use AI or not, but humans will always make the best movies, and they aren't going anywhere. I would be optimistic, but agree we don't NEED AI. It will certainly help millions however.
@cureinterstellar I agree, I fear for students not learning their lessons and getting ChatGPT to write all their homework and essays for them. It's on us all to use AI only as a tool, but to still put in the work and grow as artists. Thanks for chatting!
one of the faces that is actively trying to ruin creativity by democratizing it. if you dont have the materials of cast to make something, then you should actively try to get those things. not have a machine do it. AI is evil.
Making movies should be as easy as sculpting, clay or oil painting. It should be not much more effort than writing a great screenplay. The problem is that computers don't ever get that aha moment where they understand the symbolism and characters and how they relate our real lives.
Thanks for watching. I have and did secure $150K to make a Feature Film for festivals several years ago (pre-AI), we just went over budget due to all the equipment and expenses involved. Now we're using AI to reduce expenses and actually complete it. I see this being true for millions around the world who lack resources but have a story to tell. It's not evil, like CGI is not evil, and as I mention in the video it's going to GROW jobs. I think this is a great thing and a great future for the arts, with more quality films for us all to enjoy.
I think this guy is being way too optimistic about AI and not talking about the obvious, real downsides about it and more so how it will cause real havoc in many areas real soon in the future.
Thanks for watching, but the point I was making here is that Hollywood Executive Producers are not greenlighting many diverse original movies like Parasite, and instead opt for terrible sequels and just casting hotties, to not risk their career by betting on built-in audiences for characters like Spider-Man (who have decades of proven comic stories and millions of fans who are sure to watch every sequal). Where AI will help (as said in the video) is that without gatekeepers, more people in South Korea or Bollywood or Nollywood (Nigeria) who get denied in LA can affordably make quality films with AI tools from wherever they are, and go viral self-distrubuting on UA-cam, at which point they might get noticed for their self-earned audience if they get millions of views, and might invited to produce a Hollywood Blockbuster like Mr. Beast was, since they de-risked by proving their ability to produce and gain an audience.
I don't see a future for Generative ai - filmmakers have been using technology to ease the processes for decades generative AI is different instead of making the process easier it removes humans from the processes. Art isn't about typing prompts, it's about what we put into it - Machines aren't inspired
Humans can use AI as a tool and will remain in the process. The best movies can be made using AI, just like the best doctors and lawyers today use AI to do more of their best work faster. Using AI for an idea or reviewing your script is still art, just like having a human Script Doctor or Script Coverage or Ghostwriter help today (as almost all human writers have done for decades).
Only "academy snobs" might be afraid of AI. As he said, explosion of movies is a great stuff. The once that dont like it- dont watch it. Do you watch everything people make? I guess not. Then why would you if ai makes it? Just because "you" have resources to make movies, it doesnt mean everyone does. Ai will help many to get into making movies. If you're that good, not a person or ai can touch you.
“If you don’t like it then don’t watch it.” And you know for sure what made us stop watching. Don’t blame your audience the next time your product becomes a flop.
Lol… so its right for studios to use all the writers that came befores scripts to punch into AI to make copy and pastes ? and sell that to the public to further undermine writers and creatives because the AI is useless without the human blueprint, and this must be allowed? when already hollywood undermines creatives as it is milking and spending money more on nolstagia bait and remakes and you are here advocating this thinking the small guys gonna win when not even the middle guys are respected, hollywood was built by creative ideas not by a machine stealing them and acting as if its the founder of them, you think the state of cinema is bad now just you wait, and REMEMBER you asked for this lol again
Umm dear sir just noting one that you were saying about experiencing gladiator the way that you said in this video. We actually have that and it is called video game.
I'm familiar with Video Games dear sir, but I think you missed the point: they will be custom to you with infinite different endings for millions around the world, based on their actions in the gameplay the plot and cut-scenes will be generated in real time creating an entirely new game. This is not possible or feasible today, as in the case of "choose-your-own-adventure" books (and films like Black Mirror's Bandersnatch) each ending must be written and produced in advance, which doesn't scale. This prediction came true with Google's GameNGen real-time AI game engine which came out a couple month ago.
The key piece of information this guy doesn't seem to understand is that Hollywood will become unnecessary. AI will empower individuals like me and you to make entire films all on our own, doing the jobs of thousands of people in mere hours. Production cost will be near zero for anything you make and almost everything will be uploaded to the internet for free for everyone to watch. Nobody will care what Disney decides is right for Star Wars or anything else anymore, they'll just make their own versions of the movies and ignore Hollywood - distributing their "fan films" on UA-cam like people already do, except with the visuals and production value of a $200M movie. Saying that this will expand the size of the industry and that "not one living filmmaker today will lose a dollar of work to AI" is just delusional and makes me wonder what this guy actually knows.
Just like people are tired of CGI watch them be tired of AI, people will want the hardworking and practical stuff, if not in hollywood than elsewhere, hollywood will kill itself and another country will take its place, one that doesn’t encourage AI
What I'm saying is that Hollywood can also use AI to do what you're describing, so they won't lose jobs they will do more jobs. Writers can now to Cinematography. Directors and Producers can do those too. Hollywood won't become unnecessary it still has the most talented people. Casey Affleck is making a movie with Meta's MovieGen for Blumhouse and I predict it will be much better than your average "AI Filmmaker" using the same tools. I very much understand the points you made above, and wrote a Stanford paper for this in 2021 called "The One-Person Movie" and founded a startup on this premise coming true.
What are your AI predictions for filmmakers?
wholesale job replacement.
Overrealiance on AI for green lighting.

Thanks for watching, but the point I was making here is that Hollywood Executive Producers are not greenlighting many diverse original movies like Parasite, and instead opt for terrible sequels and just casting hotties, to not risk their career by betting on built-in audiences for characters like Spider-Man (who have decades of proven comic stories and millions of fans who are sure to watch every sequal). Where AI will help (as said in the video) is that without gatekeepers, more people in South Korea or Bollywood or Nollywood (Nigeria) who get denied in LA can affordably make quality films with AI tools from wherever they are, and go viral self-distrubuting on UA-cam, at which point they might get noticed for their self-earned audience if they get millions of views, and might invited to produce a Hollywood Blockbuster like Mr. Beast was, since they de-risked by proving their ability to produce and gain an audience.
I don't see a future for Generative ai - filmmakers have been using technology to ease the processes for decades generative AI is different instead of making the process easier it removes humans from the processes. Art isn't about typing prompts, it's about what we put into it - Machines aren't inspired
Humans can use AI as a tool and will remain in the process. The best movies can be made using AI, just like the best doctors and lawyers today use AI to do more of their best work faster. Using AI for an idea or reviewing your script is still art, just like having a human Script Doctor or Script Coverage or Ghostwriter help today (as almost all human writers have done for decades).
Only "academy snobs" might be afraid of AI. As he said, explosion of movies is a great stuff. The once that dont like it- dont watch it. Do you watch everything people make? I guess not. Then why would you if ai makes it? Just because "you" have resources to make movies, it doesnt mean everyone does. Ai will help many to get into making movies. If you're that good, not a person or ai can touch you.
Says the guy with no talent.
“If you don’t like it then don’t watch it.” And you know for sure what made us stop watching. Don’t blame your audience the next time your product becomes a flop.
@@peace-and-quiet your opinion means nothing to me
Lol… so its right for studios to use all the writers that came befores scripts to punch into AI to make copy and pastes ? and sell that to the public to further undermine writers and creatives because the AI is useless without the human blueprint, and this must be allowed? when already hollywood undermines creatives as it is milking and spending money more on nolstagia bait and remakes and you are here advocating this thinking the small guys gonna win when not even the middle guys are respected, hollywood was built by creative ideas not by a machine stealing them and acting as if its the founder of them, you think the state of cinema is bad now just you wait, and REMEMBER you asked for this lol again
I can't buy heroin at the store but I can create AI at home? How does that even make sense? What a crazy world.
Yikes.
Umm dear sir just noting one that you were saying about experiencing gladiator the way that you said in this video. We actually have that and it is called video game.
I'm familiar with Video Games dear sir, but I think you missed the point: they will be custom to you with infinite different endings for millions around the world, based on their actions in the gameplay the plot and cut-scenes will be generated in real time creating an entirely new game. This is not possible or feasible today, as in the case of "choose-your-own-adventure" books (and films like Black Mirror's Bandersnatch) each ending must be written and produced in advance, which doesn't scale. This prediction came true with Google's GameNGen real-time AI game engine which came out a couple month ago.
The key piece of information this guy doesn't seem to understand is that Hollywood will become unnecessary.
AI will empower individuals like me and you to make entire films all on our own, doing the jobs of thousands of people in mere hours.
Production cost will be near zero for anything you make and almost everything will be uploaded to the internet for free for everyone to watch.
Nobody will care what Disney decides is right for Star Wars or anything else anymore, they'll just make their own versions of the movies and ignore Hollywood - distributing their "fan films" on UA-cam like people already do, except with the visuals and production value of a $200M movie.
Saying that this will expand the size of the industry and that "not one living filmmaker today will lose a dollar of work to AI" is just delusional and makes me wonder what this guy actually knows.
Just like people are tired of CGI watch them be tired of AI, people will want the hardworking and practical stuff, if not in hollywood than elsewhere, hollywood will kill itself and another country will take its place, one that doesn’t encourage AI
What I'm saying is that Hollywood can also use AI to do what you're describing, so they won't lose jobs they will do more jobs. Writers can now to Cinematography. Directors and Producers can do those too. Hollywood won't become unnecessary it still has the most talented people. Casey Affleck is making a movie with Meta's MovieGen for Blumhouse and I predict it will be much better than your average "AI Filmmaker" using the same tools. I very much understand the points you made above, and wrote a Stanford paper for this in 2021 called "The One-Person Movie" and founded a startup on this premise coming true.
