It really is!! :-)

Hey! Thanks very much indeed, I really appreciate the feedback. I've a deliberate choice to aim to create content that resonates with serious and aspiring filmmakers, and this means I won't be chasing the views that I'd get if I were to use the various KZfaq tools to make videos about the most popular search terms. I'm following a long-term hunch that eventually, as the AI tools get better and we start to see impressive examples of what can be achieved, more and more independent filmmakers will want to take the AI filmmaking plunge :-)

@@HaydnRushworth-Filmmaker I couldnt agree more. We're getting close. I'd love seeing stories from other cultures that are locked behind budgets and language barriers. Keep up the great work.

@@coulterjb22absolutely! I think there are many, many brilliant stories to be told with smaller audiences but visually rich.

Do you have access? Try as I might I just can’t get past the waitlist.

Agree entirely. I’m about to check out the Midjourney character consistency on a test scene this week and see how well it holds up. :-)

There is, just came out Chinese vidu ai

The actual prompt was just "a photo of an ai robot camera operator on a movie set using an old retro film camera.". I re-rolled quite a few times, but now that I'm trying to recreate the same imagery, I'm adding things like "black and white with a hint of sepia" and "plain, grey background". Honestly though, this is so much fun to use for generating thumbnails.

Absolutely, but that seems to be the AI landscape these days anyway... new tools being developed and rushed to Beta at lightening speed, with development ongoing as first-wave users try out the tools. It's like the Wild West... exciting and a little terrifying at the same time ;-)

Exactly! 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

These are all really good and valid points, I actually agree with you. I've been watching Unreal Engine with real interest to see if it could become the solution I'm looking for. Ideally, I'm hoping for a software tool that is as straightforward as an advanced-level, movie-making video game. We don't have that at the moment, Unreal Engine still requires more skills that the average screenwriter would be willing to develop. In terms of the kinds of films made with AI (eventually), I don't think it will replace the kinds of movies and TV shows that are currently made the traditional way, but rather, I hope it will become a tool that will allow movies to be made that otherwise would never see the light of day. For every script that is turned into a finished movie or TV show, there are hundreds (possibly thousands) of scripts that never make it off the page. This is heartbreaking for the screenwriters who work many, long, heartfelt hours to finish those screenplays, and AI tools could create the opportunity for them to at least create some kind of visual version of their story. That's the group I'm aiming to connect with. Screenwriters, filmmakers, directors and even actors who have a story to tell that will never make it off the page without the help of something like AI (or perhaps, eventually, Unreal Engine).
