In the ever-changing landscape of AI, it feels like major updates and breakthroughs often come in waves. We’ll have a few weeks or months of downtime where everything returns to normal, and the AI companies and their fans kind of mind their own business, then bam—we get a bunch of announcements all at once.
Following news that A24 is partnering with Google to develop AI-powered tools for…
In many ways, despite all the headlines and viral videos online showcasing the capabilities of the latest generative AI video models over the past few years, we really haven’t seen many projects stand out in what has been promised as the bold new frontier of content creation.
To many, this might be proof that it takes more than a prompt and technology to produce great, memorable films,…
It was just announced in The Wrap that Lionsgate and generative AI company Runway have sort of combined. Lionsgate has taken an equity stake in Runway as part of an expanded "preferred partnership," with the goal of a joint development program to mine Lionsgate’s massive library of intellectual property (IP) to create AI-generated short films.
Yes, that means we could be seeing AI-assisted…
Yes, you read that right. Martin Scorsese, THAT Martin Scorsese, the legendary director of Goodfellas and Taxi Driver, to name a very few, is officially on board with AI. Or, at least, he’s officially on the board of advisors for one specific AI company called Black Forest Labs.
Don’t believe us? Well, there’s visual proof: the company has released a video of its team members demonstrating…
As far as revolutions go, this one was pretty short-lived. OpenAI has announced that it is saying goodbye to Sora, the company’s AI video platform. Introduced just over two years ago, Sora was—at its launch—seen as the highest point for the potential of a social AI video revolution.
But, as new AI video models have seemingly surpassed it (namely Seedance 2.0, despite its legal problems),…
Launched only a few months ago,_Seedance 2.0_ has proven to be the best example of both the potential and perhaps the arrogance of the generative AI video revolution.
Capable of some of the best AI generations ever developed, Seedance 2.0 also appears to be using data trained on copyrighted materials, making it a lightning rod for _concern and litigation_ — as we’ve seen in _lawsuits_ and…
This year, Adobe collaborated with two independent directors rooted in traditional craft to commission two original short films.
The resulting case studies offer a close look at how generative AI can unlock new creative territory, enabling experimentation with formats once out of reach, allowing more flexibility during the production process, and optimizing budgets.
Both films — an animated…
As we stated when we saw the first clips from Seedance 2.0 released online, the results might look phenomenal, but, man, _do they raise a ton of red flags_. The biggest and most obvious flags have to do with copyrights, as pretty much all of the Seedance videos shared online are using IP that they clearly do not have access to.
From __Breaking Bad_ spin-offs_, __Stranger Things_ alternative…
While the real show for the Super Bowl this year might have been the Bad Bunny halftime performance, which was much more exciting (_or, at least, polarizing if you hate fun_) than the game itself, there were others out there who might have been too busy to notice any of the festivities.
This is because they were hard at work creating their entries for the Grok Imagine Game Day Ad Contest,…
