What inspired you to create AI films?
I have always enjoyed creating things. From video games to apps. So when AI video generation came about, I was eager to see what capabilities it had. My first film was Cholesterol Phils. It was a total joke, but for some reason it went viral and before I knew it, I had gained a fan base who enjoyed my films. That's what truly began my journey.
How do you incorporate AI technology in your film making process?
I utilize AI tools for script analysis, visual effects, and even sound design, enhancing creativity while streamlining production. This allows me to focus on storytelling and artistic vision, ensuring a captivating experience for viewers. However, there is a tremendous amount of manual work as well in post-production.
What are some of the challenges you face as an AI film creator?
Navigating the balance between human creativity and AI capabilities is challenging. I strive to ensure that the emotional depth of storytelling remains intact while leveraging AI's efficiency and innovation in film making. There is also a lot of negativity surrounding AI generated videos, so I strive to always push the limits of what AI is capable of while maintaining a "human" element to it.
