These look like shit. Yeah I guess it's kinda cool you can make them with nothing but text but I dunno man, I could think of a dozen ways to make all of these shots that wouldn't have the sides of every object threatening to melt in the next frame. More difficult and cost more, I mean yeah, but again, then it won't look like a computer is hallucinating your scenes while also tripping on mushrooms.

If this is indeed the "future of making movies," I dunno, I can't speak for anyone but myself, but I have no interest in watching anything made this way. Sorry. If you don't care enough about your project to do something besides AI prompts, I don't think you have anything to say that I need to hear.

I'm still burned out on "regular" CG in movies. I'd be much more excited about a (hypothetical) return to practical effects than a push even further into computer imagery.

I recently watched John Wick 1 and I was mostly stricken by how little CGI was used in the movie.

I kept watching, noticing small bits here and there, subtle things, but there was not much CGI compared to almost any other action movie I've seen in the last several years, especially not much of any obvious full green screen sets and fly-by-wire wuxia heroism BS.
