Disney Animator REACTS to AI Animation!

> We're going to have incredible Pixar/Disney/Ghibli-beating animation tools within months. Creatives stuck in low-autonomy roles in the Hollywood studio system can finally break out on their own. Animators React 11: Mulan, Aladdin, Anime Rock Paper Scissors -- And some old school animators reacting to it - link And I'll also recommend Disney Animator REACTS to AI Animation! ▶ this video Yes, the tools are there... but a typewriter allowing someone to get past poor hand writing or a word processor allowing easier editing doesn't change the underlying creative choices. ... and currently going through the entire Foundation series (currently part way through Foundations edge) as audio books so I can't skip over the not as interesting parts... I'm going to say that I really don't want 1950s Asimov. I've had the entirety of my desires filled for that.

Responding to this video, I really liked this take from Aaron Blaise (animator on Beauty and the Beast and Aladdin and director of Brother Bear) on AI in animation. ▶ this video > To be honest with you, the biggest threat to our industry is not the AI. I mean when you look at any technology's ever come along in the entertainment industry, the expressiveness, the ability to create new films and new ideas has exploded. As an end result it has actually created more jobs and budgets have actually gone up. If you look at the budgets now compared to what they were back in the 90s, they're doubled. > The biggest threat I think is an age-old threat: it's bad stories and bad management. That's what's going to get rid of jobs, if you're putting out consistently bad movies under bad management, because no one's going to go see them. > So the idea is that it doesn't matter what technology you're putting on it. Make sure that the story underneath all of that technology is good, make sure it's engaging, make sure it's something that people want to go to, so they can laugh and cry and be scared and learn something.

Disney Animator REACTS to AI Animation - ▶ this video This is Aaron Blaise ( link ) reacting to the Corridor Crew AI animation video. (please pardon the copy of the auto-transcribe) It concludes with: > in the entertainment industry the animation industry the expressiveness the ability to create new films and new ideas has exploded and as an end result has created actually more jobs and budgets have actually gone up if you look at the budgets now compared to what they were back in the 90s they're doubled > ... > it's something that people want to go to and laugh and cry and be scared and be moved and and learn something from those are the things that people are going to go and watch and um if you can do that then the technology will follow the technology will create new jobs I'll guarantee you I've seen it happen I've been I've been doing this for 35 years and I've seen it happen I've gone through it a couple of times > so at the end of the day do I think it's a threat? No I don't think it's a threat I think it's exciting I think it's really exciting so I'm just going to sit here I'm going to sit here and continue drawing on my hand-drawn animated short snow bear and I want you to go out embrace the technology embrace the things that are new see how you can express yourselves through them put some beauty back into the world and I'll talk to you next time thanks
