Inside the Magic: How James Cameron and Disney Are Revolutionizing Animation—Secrets Revealed by Pietro Schito

It’s a very difficult topic because there’s so many elements at play, you know, you have also the ethical discussion of, you know, how it was trained and all that. But speaking from a strictly technical perspective, I want to give my experience. So, when you look at some of those pictures and your eye is not trained, I’m talking about today’s 2025, maybe in one year, everything will be different. But to the non-trained eye, you’d see something beautiful that could be, you know, let’s say you prompt something about, you know, a character from the Star Wars universe and you see a character and you say, yeah, that’s totally Star Wars. I mean, it’s there. I would buy that. And I remember we did some post-production work for the schoolism platform where artists, they teach you about different topics. They have one with about character design from a great character designer that worked with George Lucas and with others. And just by just as an external person, I’m not a character designer, but just to observance and go through the course and understand how much is there, like how much knowledge and care for details and thought about lines, colors and shapes and expressions and background of that. You understand that, you know, there are worlds apart. You know, AI is mimicking that. And then for us is going to be, oh, that looks cool. It’s almost like the original art. And so it’s very different from photography, you know, photography. I mean, again, I’m putting aside the ethical question about how it was trained and all that just to be specific, because, you know, that’s something to think about as well. But in a world where it looks like it’s just inevitable and impossible, hopefully they will find more ethical ways to, you know, to train these models. And I don’t know, you’re probably at a point of no return. I don’t think that’s going to be a conversation for another day. Yeah, that’s a whole podcast about it. But so let’s put the ethical part aside for a moment just to focus on the quality of what we have.
