Over the past year, artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced remarkable level of advancements and appeal, with its moral implications being widely discussed. However, there are several AI technologies in the filmmaking sector that offer unique capabilities beyond creating entertaining content. Here, we discuss some of these tools that help filmmakers streamline their workflow and save time.
Luma AI offers quick and high-quality 3D models from basic footage using NeRF technology, all within a mobile app. Pics AI, though still in beta phase, provides filmmakers with the ability to realistically swap faces in the film to alter or completely change their appearance. This tool uses a technique similar to deepfake and requires only one source image.
Freelab plugin by Colourlab is another useful tool that can transform any shot into REC709 format with a single click. This Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, or After Effects plugin may eventually replace 3D LUTs. It simplifies color grading with camera balancing and provides a consistent look.
ScriptBook is a promising startup that aims to transform the storytelling industry using AI. It uses machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing to provide data-driven predictions on financial projections and script analyses for the cinema industry.
Cinelytic is another AI tool designed to revolutionize decision-making in the entertainment industry. It provides studios and independent content companies with data-supported insights on talent worth, content potential/risk, and real-time audience demand.
AIScreenwriter is an AI-powered screenwriting tool designed for screenwriters, directors, and storytellers to generate ideas, organize thoughts, and compose screenplays. Flawless, an AI film lab, embraces generative AI in cinema and provides resources like visual dubbing and translations, enabling storytellers to utilize emerging technology.
Sora, an AI film-making pinnacle by OpenAI, is a ground-breaking text to video generator. An AI toolset for video editors, Runway, offers text-to-video generation, simple rotoscoping, object removal and more. Finally, Wonder Studio uses advanced AI to integrate computer-generated characters into live-action scenarios.
In conclusion, advancements in AI technologies offer filmmakers a wide range of tools to simplify and enhance their creative processes. From script writing to color grading, these AI systems can revolutionize the entire filmmaking workflow, enabling creators to focus more on the creative aspect rather than the technicalities.
