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.

Right now, there's a strong emphasis on hyper-realistic content in creative AI. We've seen how the performance of image models is evaluated through benchmarks, which is a very strange way of looking at creativity.

As a fun little side project, I've been remastering old cinematics with Mago. (For those who don't recognize it, this is Quistis from Final Fantasy VIII, so from around 1999)

Museums, heritage sites, cultural institutions… they have incredible stories to tell, but they almost never have the budget to tell them well

Get in the robot Shinji! Taking a classic monologue from Sandra Hüller in Anatomy of a Fall and turning her into Asuka from Evangelion  Character replacement + Upscale done in Mago  The more I make videos like this the more I contemplate just going all in on microdramas

Avec Mago on s’est concentrés sur une idée assez simple : modifier des vidéos En 2022 (time flies) on appelait ça le video to video, aujourd’hui on parle plutôt de modify video ou de restyling, voire de style transfer (alors que c'est un sujet plus précis)

I'm not sure Spielberg would've greenlit this shot but hey, I just did in a few minutes in my living room! Oops I forgot: Hollywood is dead yada yada  Video done with Mago, audio with Mirelo

A few things shipped at Mago this week that I've been wanting to get out for a while. - EXR exports in 16 or 32 bit - 1080p on Mago Style Transfer - GPT-Image 2 inside Modify Frame. The jump in output quality is real! Head over to Mago if you want to give it a spin.

Using AI style transfer to retexture motion. This isn’t a filter. It’s a transformation of how shape and rhythm move over time. Stylized a procedural explosion with Mago to explore abstract motion design. Join the waitlist: mago.studio #styletransfer #videoAI #motiondesign #visualart #AIvideo

Politicians and the price of gas under Biden vs Trump. Of course, you can probably do the same in reverse, because both parties do the same thing, it's always the other guy's fault. Its just that Trump lies about how great everything is, even in the face of everyday reality.🗽

Praising a communist foe is insane. NOW: President Trump calls Chinese President Xi Jinping a "great leader." "Sometimes people don't like me saying it, but I say it anyway, because it's true — I always say the truth."
