I was about to post this as well. The reason being that I think it's important to see the best of what is possible with these tools.
Film/video is one of the most compelling mediums we have, and it is extremely interesting to see the bar being lowered for its production. This project wasn't just magically created by "AI," just enabled by it.
It already is- to some extent. I see a ton of TikToks on friends feeds that are scenes from the TV show Friends but they’ve generated video of baby versions of each character to say the lines. I haven’t seen them replace the audio but you could imagine that being a next step whenever they hit copyright trouble. The worst part is that I’ve asked why they like them, they say the babies are cute and they know/love the scenes so it’s all good.
It does feel like it must be the engagement version of junk food, though.
“The algorithm” knows perfectly well what you want to watch. So it seems inevitable to me that eventually “the algorithm” just generates an endless stream of content fine tuned to you.
Mhm, I've been saying for years that we're not far away from Hollywood and all movie/TV production being completely dead, and people seem to shrug it off as if I'm talkin' conspiracy theories.
In a short amount of time, whether that's a few years, or 20 years, any individual is going to have enough creative power in their hands to be able to create anything they want.
There will be SO much content on the market, with an unrivaled level of creativity and risk taking, with all the best stuff filtering to the top. Big ones could be sold and distributed to cinemas, etc etc.
Maybe big studies will find a way to adapt and survive through all this, but I can't envision how.

Do they ever stop to ask, why would there still be cinemas in this hypothetical world where anyone can generate their own Superman movie, or what will the "best stuff" mean with the same model that makes MrBeast a winner?
For the same reason people see movies in theaters now, even when there’s day-in-day streaming releases right? It’s a social experience and there’s plenty of demand for that.

A use case I just realized will likely become popular is to “clean room design” a copy of a tv show episode or movie.
1. Turn each shot from the source material into a prompt
2. Edit the shot prompts, reorder the sequence of shots, to suite your narrative
3. Generate “new” tv show/movie
This largely solves the problem that you still need to understand storytelling, cinematography, and editing to make something compelling.
