My children had no inclination to watch black and white movies. My reasoning that they were classics did not sway them. Fast forward to the above AI generated short. Now fast forward ten years and try to explain to our young progeny how movies were made for the past 125 years.
A script had to me submitted for approval, budgets made, producers and a director had to be hired. Set locations had to be made and/or rented. Actors had to be auditioned and cast for the roles. Filming had to begin and hopefully remain on schedule and under budget. Then the film had to be edited and parts possibly reshot. Special effects had to be generated and incorporated. The movie was finalized, distribution and advertising were completed and then people could go see the movie. I left out obtaining the rights for the movie in most cases, the infamous casting couch and actors’ attitudes. I also left out music, costumes and the other multitude of tasks shown in the credits that people never watch.
When the child looks up and asks why wasn’t AI and a computer used to generate the movie, where would you start to explain? We are about to enter a new world. If we survive the demise of this current world. The good news is that Hollywood will no longer dictate the narrative of how people should bow down to their version of DEI reality.
