    • There is also Chinese camera manufacturers like DJI,Insta360 and Z-cam capturing specialised market share
    • They could learn with Blackmagic. They could learn with Red.
    • Same.   As for the machines, an AI generating things just won't ever be legitimate craft to me, regardless of perceived value by those that end up engaging with it.  This doesn't mean it can't be employed to make art.  There's a ton of nuance and philosophy as to why there's a line here, at least in my mind.  That is my hill to die on.  I fully expect I will be in a shrinking minority in this regard. As for "A Gift For All Ages," here's a relevant anecdote:  I thought about replacing the puppet with an AI generated cartoon.  It's something like 6 shots.  Pretty easy.  To a layperson this would certainly elevate the perceived craft of the final film.  They'd be, like, "A composite cartoon is in this goofy movie!??  Neat!"  AI generated, or not, wouldn't enter into their consideration as long as it looked good. Doing AI for this wouldn't sit right with me, however, as it wouldn't be a human creating the images.  Now, this cartoon idea absolutely would be derivative -- as it would be an homage to the classic MGM stuff Hanna Barbara did in "Anchors Away."  So, a wholly unoriginal concept.  But, for me, the respect I have for that craft just won't let me take the easy AI route.  If I ever do replace the puppet with a cartoon it will be me learning how to mimic the look using Blender or hiring a true 2D animator to do it.  That's a philosophical choice.  Because ain't no one, really, outside of me, that would ultimately care.  Or, hell, would probably even see the film, if I'm being honest. But I just can't do it.  Can't use AI.  Humans are inherently attracted to quality.  And that quality needs to be a human creation to matter to me.
    • I wish they could fix their Japanese design menus. The same for the other companies BTW. Not proper for cinema acquisition. Period.   They could learn with Blackmagic.
    • LOL You're right, Matt : ) But his art goes beyond that anyway, as much as AI can. Without mentioning that cinema is also a written form, since writing is art too. (People of the image have always made the terrible mistake of minimizing it... BTW I’m here 'cause of Andrew’s writing style as well JFYI) With this technology, you can transform your pictures/shooting. So, craft stands. [No less for creation] Of course, with its pros and cons. A bit like 'A Gift for All Ages' film. Without all the earlier art made by Capra, for instance, it would have been something else, or perhaps it would not even have existed. :- )
