zack snyder doesn't It seems they are all worried aye Disrupting the world of filmmaking, bringing many newbies into it. on WIRED big interview show Tuesday in San Francisco, director Managing editor Hemal Jhaveri said that “Every single person has a pretty good movie camera on their phone, and yet we don't have — right this second, anyway — millions of amazing movies being uploaded from people's pockets. “
That doesn't mean he thinks Hollywood creatives can avoid AI altogether. “Educating yourself and understanding what it can and can't do is important right now, especially where it exists in image creation and storytelling,” Snyder said. “You have to understand what it is and what it is not able to do, and you have to be able to use it as a tool instead of standing on the sidelines with your hands on your hips.”
While Snyder says he still sometimes questions the “why” of AI filmmaking, asking why you might want to use the technology if you wanted to shoot footage of someone sitting in a chair in the living room. What that would mean, he also acknowledged, is the technology's ability to make certain shots more accessible. “AI doesn't care whether a house is on fire or whether it's on Mars or underwater,” he told Jhaveri. “All those things that might cost a filmmaker a lot of money to shoot are, for AI, no different.”
Snyder says he's particularly intrigued by the idea of an AI that could understand the aesthetic core of a film or filmmaker, as if he were able to shoot an actor's performance and then edit it into some kind of set. Could sync with the production-designer-created world of. “Beauty Bank.” If an AI can understand what it really wants – “dust particles”, a backlight, overall set design – rather than just giving it an interpretation of what it thinks it's asking, then, it thinks. , “The concept is great.”
As a director who has created superhero and other films with a huge range of VFX, Snyder says he's no stranger to “a very virtual world” when it comes to filmmaking. Still, he says, he has always seen the artistic performance at the forefront of what we ultimately see on screen. He says, anything that is not an actor is just “reference”.
“My favorite films are the ones in which I can feel the director's hand. I want that human perspective to lead me through a story in a narrative way in a way that I wouldn't have thought about or imagined what would happen next,” Snyder says. “As audiences, this is what we pay for and this is what we are hungry for. However, how we approach that human thing… well, that may change.'
Snyder says it may also change how audiences watch movies, acknowledging that streamers prefer Netflix Has become a complete juggler in the cinematic world. He claimed that the films and shows he created for the stage were seen by millions more people than were seen in theaters, and even films classified as “blockbusters” undoubtedly had a large audience. They can and will attract the masses if they scale to a streaming service compared to the box office.
As a director, Snyder says, he's up for the challenge as long as he knows he's making something that's specifically for streaming. He told Jhaveri, “It seems rude to say that if my film is not in theaters then I am not an artiste.” “If you're a streamer, you're paying for the movie, and if you say, 'This is our format and 250 million people are going to watch it on their phones, probably' at the beginning of our conversation, then I Have to know that this is the reality. And if it is so, then whatever happens after that I will not have any problem.
