I’m gonna be less mad at Marty, in his 80s, as a guy who’s done and continues to do as much good as he has, than I would be at most people. But it’s still a bad choice I cannot support.
"Mr. Scorsese declined an interview request. But it was clear that his A.I. endorsement had limits. His statement and accompanying video were entirely related to storyboarding, which is the process of visually mapping out a film before cameras roll. “For 70 years, I’ve been creating my own storyboards,” Mr. Scorsese said in the statement. “There’s always been this problem of how do you communicate what you see in your head to your cast and crew. There are some things you have to see and feel.” “Now with this tool,” he said, “I can share what I’m visualizing more clearly and efficiently to my creative team — the production designer, art designer and cinematographer.” He added: “I recently tested this out on a scene, and the ability to visualize and immediately share the storyboard was creatively freeing. During the preproduction process, time costs money, and this allowed us to move faster without sacrificing quality or craft.”
The problem is the slippery slope. You start getting used to using A.I. as a shortcut and sooner or later it becomes the real thing.
Right. There are literal talented artists who work on doing this kinda thing, who directors should consider their colleagues in people doing creative work.
Scorsese’s childhood drawings of storyboards he did for the movies he was imagining are part of film history. I’m not surprised given the generational gap, and the frequent anxious pressure directors feel to save time (especially as Scorsese ages), but I’m disappointed someone as usually thoughtful about the complete artistic process of bringing a film to life from one mind to another to the images onscreen would embrace that. AI as a shortcut in any part of the artistic process feels like I’d be stunting my ability to push myself.
@SpyKi do British people really say shag? I thought it was just Austin Powers but they just used it in a different movie.
Scorcese using AI for brainstorming sucks. We’re going to see less and less original ideas if this continues. Everything potentially groundbreaking will just get filtered through the machine. Auteurs should be pushing against the algorithm if they want to stand out or create something genuinely new. It’s pitiful really.
yeah I get why him , Schrader, Soderbergh and Cameron see it as a cool new technology but it's still disheartening
I've never personally come across someone who's used it unironically but I'm sure there's people out there.
you shouldn't need silverware or have to pay attention to what you're eating at a theater. that's why candy and popcorn are the best, just throw em in your mouth.
I would agree with that but even finger foods like chicken fingers or pizza are never as good in the theater as they would be anywhere else, while popcorn is almost always better in a theater.
some people need to learn how to eat popcorn too. yesterday this guy was munching it so loudly for almost the entire movie. don't eat so damn loud.
I'm pretty sure I sat next to the guy who sat next to me last night for another movie recently. Probably should've said hi lmao. very respectful individual
