The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Cinematic Universe: A Glimpse into the Future through a Director's Eyes

Greetings, I am Hasan ?ak?r. As the Project Director of Meta Trade World, I have a passionate eye for technology and its potential applications. Specifically, I want to discuss the intriguing intersection of artificial intelligence (AI) and film production.

Recently, I've been conducting some research on how AI is being used in filmmaking. AI holds massive potential in film production. I want to delve into this in detail using two examples. First, I'll focus on a film named "The Frost" by Waymark. This 12-minute film is an intriguing piece, with each frame generated by an image creation AI. Then, I will discuss a viral work by Private Island, "Synthetic Summer."

"The Frost" is an experiment that forgoes the pursuit of realism in a film and embraces the odd aesthetic offered by DALL-E 2. Every scene in the film is produced by AI and then animated using an AI tool called D-ID. This could be the sign of a revolution that can radically change film production. We are now living in a world where a director can have an AI create a shot whenever they want one.

"Synthetic Summer" is another example that upends viewer expectations using the aesthetics of AI. This video shows a scene of young, carefree people sipping drinks in a backyard party under the sun. However, many people have voids where their mouths should be, beers are sticking into their heads, and the backyard is on fire. This is reality reflected back at us like a distorted mirror by AI.

Both these films succeeded in making their films stand out and unforgettable by accepting the new aesthetic brought about by AI and turning it into their advantage. "The Frost" especially explored new ways to tell a story with the outlandish and often random visuals that AI can generate.

These examples show how valuable a tool AI can be in cinema and film production. We see this technology pushing boundaries in many areas of art and content creation as it evolves and develops. This progress offers new filmmakers and directors entirely new techniques and aesthetics to tell their stories.

The role of AI in film production is still debatable, and as the technology rapidly evolves, there are many question marks about how films will be produced and consumed. But one thing is certain: AI will forever change the world of film and cinema and provide us with new ways of telling and experiencing stories. Welcome to this new cinematic universe brought about by AI.
