usually don't write anything unless the transition is part of the narrative context. Yes ok it always is, but sometimes it is more than others.

Super clear and helpful video!

great

you had me the moment you used the phrase 'emotional logic' TQ~~

It's adapt or die. It comes down to storytelling - humans will always find new ways to tell stories. Just keep capturing the moment, and you'll weather it!

You mentioned a line of dialogue in the film that's not in the script. Why does this happen in script vs. screen? Do the actors improvise and add these extra lines or are they added at some other kind of final draft of the script (or by the director perhaps)?

How is Usual Suspects not on this examination of endings?

Thank you

Premise, Structure, Character, Story, Dialogue. That seems like a pretty good curriculum!

I wonder what credentials he has? Cause what he says counters what Media AI researcher Yves Bergquist and Ai researchers like Gary Marcus and more. Which stress that we are in or near the peak of so called generative AI. That the limitations of the tech will not be overcome by scaling and using even more data, resources and energy. Scaling them only increases the statistical possibilities but does not make the tech more cognitive complex. It does not then understand. They still just predict based on internal biases and training dataset the statistically most likely word or phrase or in image pixels to follow. And no, I do not see why I should add hallucinating stochastic parrots in my work flow, and I think it is unethical to use models made by scraping peoples private data and copyrighted work without consent or compensation for commercial ends. Hence I say no to using anything made by Open AI.

In 10 to 15 years, I expect to see the commercial film industry bifurcated. Studios will churn out AI-generated content that is intelligently cut-and-pasted to appeal to the widest possible audience. At the same time, independent studios will produce original, lower-cost fare to appeal to niche markets. The difference will be the same that differentiates "skill" from "art."

Cool topic. So, you got cancelled already? Let's uncancel you then, shall we...? LOL

Wait did you say that it will disappear or all but disapwar like it won't?

The fearmongering "Get your script out before it's too late" messaging is a bit ridiculous. I understand wanting to be curious about A.I. advancements, but using it to stoke anxiety or some sort of ticking clock is counter-productive.

nice, another daily dose of fearmongering! don't you have feelings i doubt you got a million dollar to save you so why are you not hoping for a better future also you're **expert** just seems like a random dude experimenting with ai and giving his opinion like it's fact.

Wow! A lot of bitter writers on here. If you’ve got a great script, it will be recognized. If you suck, then it’s on you. A negative attitude gets you nowhere!

Please don't ever put phoebe waller-bridge in the same sentence as Billy wilder.

I love how they treat the reveal of the teacher in THE WHALE like it's some big reveal. In reality, they'd be shocked for like 7 seconds and then they'd be like, "Oh. Our teacher's fat. Moving on." It really wouldn't be a big, epic revelation like they treat it in the movie.

Great video. Equally great t-shirt. Really looking forward to Eggers' version of Nosferatu.

This channel needs millions of subs. So much knowledge

Has he written anything on his own though? lol

"Sofia wanted to...". "Hmmm... No." Thank you, bro! We all needed that.

Dude, you're a darn sweet-talker, eh...

Glad to see you again! Nice hook, BTW!

Fantastic info 🎉 thank you indeed

Lol

I HAVE ADDED A NEW AND BETTER VIDEO TO THE CHANNEL: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/r7mdfLOevJqsoYk.html Watch that one instead of this.

Thank you.

This movie sucked. Don't care about the characters, don't care about the war, we're never told why it's happening which lends to the two former complaints, wrote by a Brit who is fccking clueless on American politics, filled with woke bullshht, and the premise of "celebrating journalists" falls flat after nearly every news company in America have engaged in censorship. These so-called heroes of journalism were lock-step with the orders to filter news and stories to achieve a political agenda. We don't have journalists here, we have woke activists. So Alex Garland should stick to zombie movies and stay the fcck out of American politics. Maybe we should write a movie about how woke UK should be named "Britainistan" with the capitol of "Londonabad". Maybe Alex would love to see us making movies about how Britain all been taken over by terrorists and woke ideology. Fcck Alex Garland. Fcck Civil War. Lmao

Dude, your screen doesn't show the actual examples. We can only see you talking. Did you not watch the video before you posted it??

Productivity, not quality. The whole creative market needs to be tested. No point in frequent films if no one watches, and there will need to be a human aspect or no one will care. Plus age ratings still need to be adhered to across a global market. The people will decide this one, but my main issue is that the children will be the test base because they won't know any better. Scary.

@1:27 Instead of apologizing or making excuses, she doubles down on why the script was so bad, I love it 😂

The bottom line is if you’re already very good at something then AI will make you an expert. If you’re okay at something the AI will make you very good at it and eventually you can become an expert. But the more you know about the subject the better you can prompt the AI. For instance if you’re an accomplished writer and you’re talking to your editor about rewriting a chapter, you may discuss creating more tension or conflict or changing the POV or doing some foreshadowing. Well that’s how you have to talk to the AI. You can’t just tell it to write a scene about a guy walking into a bar and getting into a fight with the bouncer. It’s not going to give you much in its first response. But I think the people who are critical about AI writing capability are missing the point. The AI can take you from a blank page to first draft in a couple of days. And then you start editing and using your experience to turn it into something. Using AI is like having a team or writers that you can collaborate with. I think it would be foolish for a writer to ignore this breakthrough in technology.

Tylor Sheridan hates notes. Specially when it’s an original script. He says none can give notes to an original script. I don’t think he’s 100% right on that.

Gonna hire this guy

So great he answered this bc hollywood is the one job you really have no idea or way to really break in. It’s like a club and the only invite is through a lucky connection.

Hi Karel - would you be able to tell me which of your immersion classes best covers dialogue ?

Hi Karen - which of the immersion classes would be the best one to learn dialogue?

Very interesting discussion. Thank you for sharing!

Exactly. Great concept, some great imagery (some bad CGI) but horribly executed. A lot of cliche conflict and on the nose dialogue early on. Then the second act meandered without understanding the stakes

The greatest irony of our times is that you( a human) have to verify with a computer that you are not a robot by selecting few random pics. But the thing is AI or a robot or computer or whatever it is can put forward an answer or a line or a script by scouring through the data but whereas we humans can write a whole damn script just by starting with a single picture as a plot point. So no fucking hell no! AI can be used instead of a human but can never replace a human.

I'm hoping Michael's pilot ("O.U.R.S") is developed. His concept for the adventure/mystery series is quite unique.

This was superb. I love the hero’s journey and thought I really knew it until this talk. I’m right in the middle of my third act in a current screenplay and this helped light the way in a big way.

Great interview! There's a lot to learn here from Michael.

Headphone warning at 6:45!

The idea of copying a screenplay to learn from it is so interesting and I'm definitely going to try it! How do I choose which screenplay to copy? (One of my favourite films is "Half Nelson" and I was thinking about copying that..)

I agree, he is one of my favorites too. Wind River and Sicario are are couple of the most impactful films I've watched more recently. I read sicario but not wind river (yet). I just checked out his IMDB... the man is a beast!

Interesting helpful vid.

He should have read Rebel moon, then tossed it in the trash.
