One of the elephants in the room of video AI is that "AI actors" are really bad... Past models struggle at generating "lifelike" humans, there's always something off, and although the latest models are impressive, they still lack the basic experience of working with actors:

Mago solved style transfer! This is how I got into the whole "AI for film production" thing; I wanted to make "stylized" content more affordable so that I could actually get my projects funded (Because no one has 500k for a cute little art history mini series)

A lot of AI focuses on photorealism or a set amount of tropes, such as anime or pseudo-Pixar movies. But the beauty of AI creation is that you can do anything you want. One of the reasons that much of AI content is driven by just a few sources of inspiration really comes down to the artists.

I'll be at Annecy Animation Festival on Tuesday 10 and Wednesday 11! DM if you want to chat about AI rendering for 2D and 3D animation. Je serai au festival d'animation d'Annecy le mardi 10 et le mercredi 11 ! DM pour discuter de rendu par AI pour l'animation. #annecy #animation #ia #ai

For all its potential, a lot of AI content ends up being pretty bland It's a little disappointing but really shows that creativity is the secret sauce; without it, we all end up making simulacra of average sci-fi movies when we could make ethereal ghost angels dance under a starry night

I've been waiting for production-ready style transfer for SIX YEARS Back then, I had a complete mini-series on art history I was trying to produce, and no matter how I pitched it the project was just too expensive and to niche to ever see the light of day

3D model → multiple styles in seconds. No UVs. No texturing. Just Mago. Testing fast AI rendering from a Blender base mesh—seeing how far we can go. #styletransfer #videoAI #aiart #animationworkflow #motiondesign #creativeprocess #3drender

Is AI cheaper? Yes and no. There's a very simple paradox at the heart of this question; if you're able to make a shot for $50: - that's a complete paradigm shift and a completely new economy for professional studios - that's completely out of reach for individual creators

We've been working a lot on AI rendering lately, mostly using our in house Mago Style Transfer model but also a few other APIs. It's an extremely promising workflow: artists and animators keep control, you can quickly preview scenes and you can iterate much faster.
