“To that end, a lot of the films I watched (and very few of the finalists) felt less like “short films” but more like elaborate proofs of concept for a longer feature.”
“Yet I can also imagine smart documentary filmmakers finding creative applications.”
“Much like “Kev,” could a filmmaker take you more intimately inside the experience of a blind person using AI?”
“And yet no one really has much experience with this.”
“Director Arielko Kotzer effectively created an AI feedback loop to see what a combination of tools would spit out.”
“The shorts I watched this year were as short as 2-minute clips, while the longest was just over half an hour, but most on average were around 7-15 minutes long.”
“I was asked to be on a jury to choose my favorites among just under 60 AI-generated short films, picking alongside a jury that includes Oscar winner Gabriele Salvatores, “The Lion King” co-director Rob Minkoff, “Twilight” and “Thirteen” director Catherine Hardwicke, and several other executives, AI and VFX experts, and journalists.”
“But what would that feel like when the movies are all made with AI ?”
““Kev” wasn’t even the only “documentary” among the contenders I watched, and though I’m fine with mockumentaries as a genre, blending it with AI is surreal and arguably dangerous.”
“One that did stand out however was another finalist called “Website,” a sci-fi offering from Chinese director Jiaze Li in which whatever fake news events were written about on a mysterious website would manifest in the real world.”
“Watching as many shorts as I did revealed some trends I didn’t anticipate and opened my eyes to what is possible today and tomorrow with AI, even if I’m not looking for AI to replace movies made by humans anytime soon.”
“In part, that’s because the filmmakers aren’t using just one AI model or typing in a prompt and seeing what it spits out, but rather they’re using a combination of numerous models, sometimes with a blend of other VFX tools, leaning on each’s strength to get exactly what they want .”
“While all these filmmakers are surely well-meaning, description after description was about a sole individual creator who was able to “transcend physical and financial barriers” and “iterate rapidly” in ways that would’ve been impossible otherwise.”
“We don’t need it replacing actors or writers just because it’s faster and cheaper.”
“Only a few filmmakers discussed scenarios or visuals that literally were only possible via these AI tools, not ones that technically would be possible if only someone gave them a near-unlimited amount of money, time, and resources, what we usually call filmmaking.”
“But the film was just one component of a larger interactive media project that includes an actual website resembling the fake news site seen in the film.”
