The charming film put an "art" in artificial intelligence.

The result when you mix an AI image-generating machine and a woman who is 98 years old named Lillian as well as Harry Potter? The result is 'HAIRY POUTER is a film short made by director Chris Carboni. It incorporates ever more whimsical AI-generated visuals with comments on the classic book written by a hilarious non-agenarian.

"Lillian was my mother," says Chris. "She and I have been in a relationship for a long time  as I've reviewed her for about 10-years."

As AI image generators began to dominate the web at the mid-2022 point, Chris saw the stars collide to develop a plan which could make use of his long hours of listening as well as help him understand his connection to this new technology. "I felt a mix of feelings regarding these generatorsthat I had a desire to study and I was seeking an opportunity to study the technology," explains Chris. "At the moment, I was talking to my mother-in-law who was just the Harry Potter book that I had bought for her to give her as a birthday gift."

After that, the movie was put together within a matter of minutes using a quick crew of "my grandmother as well as my wife, as well as the sound designer and composer which comprised our entire team" as well as of the rest became (futuristic) history. Given that the potential of AI continuing to develop rapidly and we sat down with Chris Carboni and discussed the various aspects of AI as well as art.

The video's image is breathtaking. What equipment did you use in order to accomplish this to get these result?

Chris Chris Chris Chris: We used MidJourney, back in the beginning of the program. It began by entering the interview's text with no editing. Then, we checked the results that it produced by simply putting in the words of the interview. We were impressed by the creative style that it had come up with through just a few cycles of creating new pictures. Thus, I started to record some of the features of the style of art that was based on the image it created.

The first image we received was Ron sporting his long, waved hair. He looked incredible. It appeared to be with his shoulders raised. Additionally, it was clear that he wasn't wearing an outfit. He looked like he was a sea god. When we saw an image that showed Harry and Ron as a couple with the camera, they were almost hugging as we thought "Oh, this is amazing."

The AI was given the freedom to come up with these fascinating ideas, and then when we came across one that we enjoyed, we encouraged the AI to go along with this path so that it would always be fun and easy to follow.

What was it like applying AI to this incredibly human-centric tale?

Chris Chris I was making this film I was a bit afflicted with fear about AIin generalabout AI in general. But, I certainly enjoyed using it on this particular film. I believe that this is a great use case of the project due to its use. AI was an important element of the story.

That's what makes it enjoyable, interesting and special. It was about the unpretentious but adorable connection between AI and humans. This wasn't an initiative in which we didn't put a dollar into illustrators and decided to use Artificial Intelligence instead. This was a project in which artificial intelligence was the foundation of the narrative.

What are your thoughts on AI becoming a creative force?

Chris Chris: There's definitely something compelling there However, the process has becoming more complicated since these generators are so ubiquitous. Their potential has been unleashed, and expanded into many different uses. The topic is becoming a little more complicated than I imagine it once was terms of my own knowledge and opinions about the subject.

Anyone who works in the field of creativity has to figure out what this means in their personal work, and be prepared to acknowledge that the landscape is likely going alter. Change brings the possibility of creating amazing, new and innovative ideas. Also, the automatization of a lot of the artwork that we love to create. This makes me sad, in all honesty. It is a concern for me that art could be diminished in value and becoming more expensive as it is.

Do you plan to utilize this type of technology to perform your work in the future?

Chris Christopher: Okay I enjoy the use of AI for enhancing my emails and to act as a personal assistant that can answer questions, explaining complex concepts and completing repetitive jobs. When it comes to the creative process, I don't fully understand. I certainly don't want to employ the process in a manner which would replace human talents within my teams. I believe that the outcome would not be as good.

Much of the work that we perform relies on collaboration with colleagues. An entire project from start to finish using AI is dependent on the inputs that come from an individual's brain. Certain cases might be acceptable but, most typically, productions can be assisted by a group of experts working in tandem, each one providing their experience and insights the project.

Some of the most interesting uses I can think of are to generate initial ideas, and kicking off the creation process. This could include raising the funds needed for a project or showing the initial concepts for making something happen. foundation. For animation, it's crucial to have complete control over the details of a scene both in terms of production and artistic motives. That level of control will likely be coming soon, but it's certainly not that far off.
