Will you be awarded at the next Cannes Film Festival? As the Wall Street Journal reports, Openai tries to embark on the cinema. For this, Sam Altman’s startup has lent his computer tools and resources to create a film.
Baptized CriterionThe animated film draws the story of the creatures of the forests that go in an adventure. The idea germinated in Chad Nelson’s mind three years ago. At that time, Operai’s creative specialist was already trying to make a short film with Dall-E, the company’s image generator. What happened in 2023.
Cheaper and faster
Since then, the budding filmmaker has seen great things. It has been associated with vertigo and native companies of foreign producers, a study specialized in the use of AI and traditional video production tools, to produce a long version of its short film.
In detail, the scenario was written by certain members of the team of Paddington in Peru. The artists are responsible for making sketches that will then be integrated into the Operai tools, especially ChatGPT-5 and their image generation models. The actors will also be recruited to bend.
With this project, Openai has a clear objective: demonstrate that artificial intelligence can produce films more quickly and a cost lower than filmmakers. Therefore, the film has a budget of less than $ 30 million, much lower than the usual budget for animated films. Production times have also been reduced. “The team strives to make the film in about nine months, instead of the usual three years,” said James Richardson, co -Funder of Vertigo Films.
The shooting has already begun. The team expects to present a long version of your film at the Cannes Film Festival. Criterion It should also go on theaters next year.
Ai in the cinema, still in debate
“Yeah Criterion Successful, this will demonstrate that AI can produce sufficiently efficient content for the big screen and accelerate the adoption of this technology by Hollywood, “Chad Nelson observes.” OpenAI tools also reduce entry costs, allowing more people to create creative content. “
And Openai’s film is far from an exception. Netflix and Disney also experience the use of AI tools in production, for user experience and marketing projects.
But the use of AI in the film industry is still controversial. In fact, in 2023, several actors unions had been made in Hollywood to obtain guarantees on the use of artificial intelligence (AI), to avoid the generation of scripts, the cloning of the voice or the image of the professionals of the seventh art.
These same companies also try to preserve their characters and works protected by copyright. In June, Disney and NBC Universal attacked Midjourney allegedly extracted from their catalogs to train their AI. Midjourney challenged these accusations before the courts. Warner Bros. Discovery brought a similar action last week.
