The real npc population test will be this box office

>>155800366
Anon please; we all know Toy Story 5 will be taking that Oscar
>>155800398
I don't see this getting any hype from normies, let alone the box office.

>>155800366
Isn't AI-generated material not protected by copyright? What's stopping people from pirating and screening this shit for money?

>>155800489
Yeah, if I care at all about the movie I'd just pirate this shit. Nothing they can do about it.

>Plans Oscar Bid for Best Animated Feature
It's not animated.

Meh

>>155800489
precisely
things like this are being done only, and I mean only, to sell clicks on news sites and stir up feelings to profit from.
(also, they hope people will ban AI because that's going to lead to something that makes Napster look like a drop in the bucket as far as nobody having to pay for shit)

>It's not animated
How?

>>155800366
Never met someone who draws breath talk about this “movie.”

>>155800366
Making a bid doesn't mean they'll get a nomination, let alone win. Lots of independent animated films get completely ignored, even shit the Academy would really go for if they actually cared about animation, which they don't. The whole reason the best animated film category was made was as a ghetto to keep animated films from ever competing in best picture again after Beauty and the Beast got nominated back in 92. Until very recently members didn't even have to watch all, or even any of the films in best animated picture category to vote and at least a few admitted they just picked whatever their kids talked about the most.

So, is this just a compilation of the short films he released on his YouTube channel? I recognize some of that footage from Patchwright and Pomegranate.

Secretly putting everyone who goes to watch this in theaters to death via gas better be the angle they are going for

AI content (be it text, code, sound, images, or video) is probabilistically generated by prompts and models. It's not animation anymore than someone releasing a 90 minute physics sim.

>>155804130
And what is being generated there in this case? An animation.

If you have a script and storyboards, and you turn those into prompts with specific direction for camera and framing and blocking and shot composition, aren't you, strictly speakingy animating that script and those storyboards?

In a round about way, yes, and no.
As faggoty as this sounds, we'd probably have to dissect semantics and I would go far as to say that animation vs prompted (AI) media is different. It may wear the "skin" of animation, but I wouldn't say it's animated in the sense of made by people. I'd use prompted or AI media.
