Inside the Magic: How James Cameron and Disney Are Revolutionizing Animation—Secrets Revealed by Pietro Schito
And so, for example, if you connect an A.I. with one of those engines like Unreal Engine or Blender and you want to create a background and you want to replace a lot of trees and you want to install, copy and paste. So every tree is a little different. So it can generate probably other, you know, branch formations and things. If it’s something that is non-artistic that just for the background. I mean, I guess that’s something that’s going to be very good. When you look at those, some still pictures, they look very good because, you know, they’re being trained on the films that we watch. And so especially some AI you can put basically a pixel character and it’s the same way you can put an actor or a public figure and it’s photorealistic. But from that to really because this thing that don’t animate, you know, I mean, you see an animation, but technically it’s not like they’re animating. They’re it’s a very different process. And so the kind of control that you can have today is not, you know, it’s worlds far from how good animation is for something very cheap. I’ve seen stuff online. And, you know, if you want to create things on TikTok to, you know, with curiosity data or little stories or bad nights, you know, I guess you can you can do it and very quickly. And I mean, those are more still pictures and movement. I do believe that it’s getting there. I think that many people in the animation industry are completely in denial because of the, you know, it’s a shock to see that, you know, I’ve spoken with, for example, Chris Stentress, the director of a living stage, how to train your dragon. Now the beautiful The Wild Robot. And he told us, you know, that he was on the major list of artists where they basically took all his body of work and used it to train without permission, without compensation. And so that that arrangement and I think it’s I mean, he has a point because it’s one thing is that you put something out there. The other thing is that, you know, they can just crawl it and learn from it. And so for some of them, not Chris, but some of them, I think that the arrangement, it’s kind of blinding to the fact that eventually I think it will get there. I think that we’ve seen it with photography and with video, the advancement is so fast. At that point, I worry more about, you know, what is AI doing in general? I mean, it’s just as a whole society, but that’s, again, a third podcast, a completely different podcast.
