Happy Holidays from the Space Vets & Storybook Studios! 🎄✨   This year, we’re closing with a very special Space Vets holiday episode! 🚀 When the Space Vets ship gets hit by a mysterious golden object, the crew faces an urgent mission to fix the leak - and recover what may be an important relic of a magical snowy world... 🌟 Will they save the day? You’ll have to tune in to find out!   This episode isn’t just for kids; it’s our way of sending warm holiday greetings to all our friends, fans, and collaborators. At Storybook Studios, we’re proud to showcase the magic of combining creativity with cutting-edge AI. You can watch the episode right here on LinkedIn and on our website. We hope it brings you as much joy as we had creating it! 👩🏻🚀   We wish you a cozy, happy holiday season, and thank you for being part of our journey this year. Here’s to more creative adventures in 2025! 🪐🎁 #generativeai #happyholidays #spacevets

Are you ready for take-off? 🚀✨

The barriers weren’t just in the story — they were part of the process. AI storytelling is new, uncertain, and full of questions. Winning Best Sci-Fi AI Film at the Czech International AI Film Festival shows us that taking creative risks pays off. 🏆✨ A massive THANK YOU to the festival and its incredible jurors for recognizing THE BARRIER and giving it a place to be seen. 🙏

Festive season? Festival season! Keep your eyes open for our AI short film THE BARRIER at these events – and don’t forget to send us some luck (we hear it pairs well with awards 🏆😉). Czech International AI Film Festival Neu Wave AI Films AI Film Awards LARISSA LUMINA AI Short Film Festival

The time of what I call "theoretically helpful AI" is over. For the past few years we've all seen endless talks and panels of how AI could theoretically change media. This event was different. At MEDIENTAGE MÜNCHEN last week, Jacques Alomo gave a fantastic high-speed overview of the tools that exist right now to help you create. I then demonstrated how we've used them at Storybook Studios, followed by a conversation with Alina Fichter that got into the details. This was probably the most info-dense half hour I've experienced at a conference, but the audience couldn't have gotten a more effective brain download! The core of it is: AI is here and it's useful. Anybody who tells you different hasn't used it. But you can pick up the skills on YouTube—so no excuses! And most importantly: have fun. It's all about your human creativity, after all.

Here's a quick test I made last night using the incredible new Image2Video model by HailuoAI / MiniMax 🔥 🔥 🔥 It brings still images to life with insanely good quality and prompt adherence. Now it's possible to truly direct shots and give clear instructions on camera movement and acting. Did not have time to do lipsync. 🫣 Storybook Studios #ai #img2vid #aiart #generativeai

Let’s bury weirdcore AI clips! We’re here to tell stories.   To test the limits of what’s possible we created a short film, using just about every GenAI tool currently available. No 3D renders. No recorded material except voices.   Let us know what you think – which shots didn’t convince you? Which blew your mind? #AI #GenerativeAI #AIFilmmaking #Storytelling

Wird KI uns Kreative ersetzen? 🙅🏼♀️ Kurze Antwort: Nein. Lange Antwort: Schaut euch die neueste Folge 13 Fragen in der ZDF-Mediathek oder auf YouTube an! Als ich die Anfrage bekam, ob ich an der Folge „Gefährdet KI die Popkultur?“ teilnehmen möchte, war ich begeistert. Warum? Weil ich seit der allerersten Folge Fan bin und bei dem ersten Gen AI Filmstudio weltweit arbeite. 🎬 Für alle, die 13 Fragen noch nicht kennen: Das Format bringt eine Pro- und eine Contra-Seite zu einem Thema zusammen. Im Laufe der Diskussion nähern sich die Standpunkte idealerweise an und finden einen Kompromiss. Das Besondere? Alle Teilnehmer:innen wissen bis zur Diskussion nicht, wer teilnimmt. Um ehrlich zu sein, hatte ich ein bisschen Bammel. Wir alle, die mit KI arbeiten, kennen das: Diskussionen über (generative) KI sind oft hochemotional. Aber um ethische und moralische Lösungen für den Einsatz von KI zu finden, müssen wir vor allem offen für diese Technologie sein. 🤖 Gibt es echte Gefahren bei der Nutzung von KI? JA. Bin ich es leid, immer wieder über KI-Mythen statt über die wirklichen Probleme zu sprechen? Auch JA. AI is here to stay. Und wir Kreative haben die Chance, die Zukunft mitzugestalten. Für einzelne Kreative und kleine Teams kann das vor allem eines sein: eine positive Revolution. 🚀 Was denkt ihr? Gefährdet KI die Popkultur? Lasst uns darüber sprechen! 👇 Den Link zur ganzen Folge findet ihr in den Kommentaren. Danke an meine Mitdiskutant:innen: Fritz Espenlaub, Brenda Blitz, Collien Ulmen-Fernandes, Magdalena Montasser, Markus Henrik und an Jo Schück für die tolle Moderation. 📸 von Bastian Whydler Hyperbole Medien GmbH, Storybook Studios
