Bringing Daddio to Life on an LED Stage. Our VP of Virtual Production, Addy G., joins befores to discuss how the Dakota Johnson and Sean Penn film Daddio—a single, continuous taxi ride—was brought to life entirely on an LED stage. Addy dives into the process: from capturing car process plates to the tools and technology that made seamless playback on the LED volume possible, including Disguise's pivotal role in the production. 🎧 Listen here: https://gag.gl/MwQ8HQ

While we are all still waiting for OpenAI to release Sora, the last week has introduced two strong competitors. The Chinese "Kling" has demos that look quite similar to Sora, though it's important to note that these are just demos. Kling is currently only available in China as a public demo through a waiting list. What is really interesting is Luma, which also looks very similar to Sora. Unlike Kling, Luma has already been launched, not just announced. I have tried a couple of "Nordic nature prompts," and the results are pretty remarkable. Below, "Curious Refuge" has tested the available "text-to-video" AI tools, and I agree that Luma seems to outperform both Runway and Pika Labs. Interesting times! ✨

Impressive how fast AI is advancing.

Wolftech’s Director of Product Management, Daniel Elias, sat down with our friends at Marquis to outline how our important integration is enabling more efficient workflows for connecting and ingesting content from within Wolftech. Alongside Marquis MD Paul Glasgow and CTO Simon Fearn, Daniel discusses the value for broadcasters in having this connection between LiveU content with a Wolftech story and swiftly moving it to Avid with the help of Marquis’ clean file acquisition. Take a look!

This is a HUGE step towards AI films. Talk about blowing away the competition. I’ve only been playing with it for a few minutes and it’s already producing useable scenes. SCENES!!!! Not an image Not a blur effect passed off as motion. Not a slight pan and zoom effect. Actual motion scenes that correspond to the action being described in the prompt. Is it a film? No. But could a talented storyteller use these scenes to create a compelling short? Probably. Can you spin up pre-visuals, do b roll, establishing shots, background shots, and a fair amount of principal footage to cut down on production costs today? Absolutely. Have you tried it yet?

With the news this week of Moviestuff closing shop, here is my update on the situation as to how it will affect me.

Some great physical demonstrations of bulk solids flow phenomenon.

Watch our IMAX CEO talk about the strong Q2 results and very positive outlook for what's ahead!
