creAItive dAIrection A good example of where the journey is heading and that generative #AI does not completely replace the creative process, but shortens the production process and replaces other artists of course because one person can now do it. The result is still difficult to control compared to a method with photo/film, 3D CGI/simulation and compositing, but it is incomparably faster and creative direction will become more and more possible in the near future. But the question is: can you make a good living with the results in a short time? I fear that AI promotes more "pay by time" instead of "pay by value". By the way, this text was translated with DeepL. 😎
A behind-the-scenes look at my process for creating this AI water video: On the left, I recorded myself performing all the actions and demonstrated some of my compositing techniques using masking and shape layers. On the right, you can see the final result after being generated in ComfyUI.
Impresionante! Cuántas posibilidades que se abren para la creatividad.

4moAt first glance, the result looks promising. However, many aspects are not perfect, such as the fluidity of the water and the interaction between the figure and the water droplet. This corresponds to the Pareto Principle: 80% already looks very good, but the final 20% are still inconsistent and unsatisfactory. The question arises whether we will be able to iterate with the new methods to bring the final 20% to the level of today's photorealistic CGI, both qualitatively and artistically.
