Motion-based AI recreates Game of Thrones as an MGM Technicolor epic from the Fifties

That looks like shit and no human would pay to watch it.

I was not consulted!!!

R1 no one paid

It was free

Did you pay to watch that? Did a pop up ask you for your credit card and social security number?

Haha, I watched 20 seconds and found it infinitely better than what my boyfriend made sit through — Mercifully, it was the the last season.

AI? You'd figure the cast would be all black.

I laughed at the book cover at the end.

The did Dune!

And it looks better than Dennis Villeneuve’s “Peter Zumthor wuz here” aesthetic.

It was made by a random youtuber, not a multi-million (or billion) dollar movie studio.

If that can be done by some guys who are making minimal money from their effort, a full blown studio with millions in resources to hire teams of top tier talent will be able to produce high quality movies at a fraction of the cost of what it takes today with a lot less hassle and no worries about embarrassing trials like Johnny Depp or Kevin Spacey allegations.

Both AI and stuff like Chatgpt have evolved faster than sci fi aliens in the past two years. Add to that the advances of things like Real Engine 5 and Nvidia graphics, we are within a few years of a studio-backed production attempt which will take a huge bite out of "live action" movies and tv shows.

The Dune one at R7 looks much better. I would definitely watch that.

This is only the beginning.

A year and a half ago you would not have been able to do that. That's how quickly things are progressing. In 2 or 3 years time, the results will be flawless.

The yearning for the past with shitty versions of film complete with all the crap flying all over the screen.

Pitiful.

Pirates as Walt Disney would have imagined it

To reiterate the above point at r11

This same creator made this just 11 months ago.

Compare with above

I love the way they made Sophie Turner/Sansa Stark look in this.

The Legend of Zelda

I think all of this is going right over your head.

The creator is an amateur making 1 minute clips for YouTube.

It's really an exercise showing what AI is capable of doing at this early stage.

The grain and dust and hair is way too much. They could tone that down by 50% and it would look less fake.

Otherwise it is pretty impressive, especially the Dune one.

AI John Snow makes my mussy damp

I hate AI and CGI so much. It’s like soybean oil. I can always tell when it’s in there.

They said the same thing about earlier iterations of computerized graphics. George Lucas was saying back in the 1980s that live-action film-making would “soon” be passé. He then used computers to give us three of the most shit movies ever made. That prequel trilogy is tedious as fuck.

And then we got Pixar and DreamWorks animated stuff. It just became an additional type of thing to watch, not a replacement. I figure that’s just how it’ll keep going. The new stuff just hitches on to the back of the train. It never replaces anything. Cf: CDs and vinyl

So....animation. Cartoons.

I just don't know how this makes people's lives easier or better or gentler. Makes me kind of glad I'm getting older, have assets, and won't have to deal with the consequences of this shit for too long.

That looks so fake and bad with the super fake dust and scratched. Why does Peter Dinklage look like a “big eyes” painting.

I get OP is a shill for AI but that looks like shit. The fact that you think that looks good shows you care more about the technology than what it actually delivers. I’ll say, remember the Final Fantasy film and Polar Express? Mainstream audiences hate that shit.

R25 Polar Express was made for $175 million dollars in 2004 (inflation adjusted about $290 million.)

These little films were made by one person using less than $100/month subscription of publicly available software in a couple of hours.

The fact that you have placed these films’ quality on par with Polar Express and Final Fantasy should terrify you.

Also, you seem extremely literal. Are you autistic or something?

One of the most famous quotes about Hollywood is that “a movie is just an expensive dream.” Irving Thalburg or maybe Louis B. Mayer.

What if that dream suddenly becomes inexpensive.

That’s going to be the new reality.

It already became inexpensive with smartphone cameras and programs like Adobe Premiere and FinalCut Pro for a lot of it.

I have to say....most of the cast were better looking in this AI version.

AI is already destroying the jobs of writers, actors, artists, directors.

They all look 30 lbs heavier than they did on the show.

Did the YouTuber make this for a fat fetish channel?

You have to AI Lena Headey anyway to remove the hideous tattoos for Cersei. What concealer can hide that shit? I liked this, I agree with the critiques upthread somewhat but it makes me want all kinds of AI cinematic mashups!

Don’t you insult me, R26 - I’ll slap your fat, prolapsed bottom!

Alien

The mock poster at the end is actually quite brilliant. Terrifying.

I’m already tired of these clips.

Looks more like a Spaghetti Western, or a Hollywood-On-The-Tigris cheapie.
