@GPM - I’m always hoping that C-SPAN’s compelling narratives with human dialog will provoke a response, but dancing bananas are more tickly to the brain.
Where’s the Logik Academy course?! I found Doug Hogan’s comfy course to be a little meh
Does this mean you’re able to up your rates since you’re taking on more of the work involved like cutting out production?
Good point! AND if these ad campaigns end up saving so much money, will Coca-Cola get cheaper?
Whom walks the red carpet at Cannes when an AI film comes out and does anyone care? My guess is it really takes the humanity out of the arts which really is what art is about or we just making noise at this point in this late stage capitalism. If everyone is unemployed who is buying the tickets? This future seems super distopian to me but whatever I will continue to climb mountains because AI cant do that yet.
I might add I cant wait for “them” to start monetizing this stuff , last I heard they would need to be making 1 trillion a year to make the financials break even on all this investment , so cant wait for the free money train ride to end and all the hysteria to level out because this free lunch wont last forever.
100% Agree. I just finished a shot using qwen edit and WanAnimate where I saved at least 3-4 days of work (since I would had to rebuild almost the whole scene) and just took less than 10hrs including manual masking and some flame prep for the comfyui workflow.
I hope you charged 4 days work
Same.. every job. It’s been like this for a long time. It’s interesting and fun. Did a job recently where I added crowds using ML. Managed it (although getting the crowd to look in a specific direction is very tricky)… but in the end, it took me more time compared to a traditional approach where they’d shoot crowd elements/ parts/ pies.. etc.. still, for production and logistics it made sense as shooting that is much more costly.
That’s a bit of a trend I notice, less time on set, more time with me. So I’m not worried at all, the opposite actually.. I also notice agencies actually learning the reality of doing things using ML.
Allright.. off to checking out this MoCha thing in comfy.. ( GitHub - Orange-3DV-Team/MoCha: MoCha: End-to-End Video Character Replacement without Structural Guidance )
@ALan - there is a whole brand for you to exploit here:
#OGIHU (sounds faux japanese) - One Guy In His Undies…
So Shall Media
Viral Videos
Cups
Hats
Key Chains (although guys in their undies probably don’t leave the basement so probably don’t need keys)
T-Shirts
Cryptocurrency (by weight - probably metric tonne)
It will be huge
What do you reckon the workflow is for this? Whatever you think of the message, it’s a proper piece of work.
